Here's how supporters think the Town boss will go against Port Vale. ..
9. LEFT-WING: Mitch Pinnock
Has caught the eye as much as anyone in pre-season and few are as certain to start as the left-footed midfielder.
10. STRIKER: Nicke Kabamba
Another to start almost every friendly and he's set to lead the line for now, though faces strong competition at the top end of the pitch.
11. STRIKER: Kion Etete
The Spurs youngster has yet to play a minute in Cobblers colours, but you're backing him to start the first game of the season this weekend.
12. Predicted XI
Roberts, McGowan, Horsfall, Guthrie, Mills, McWilliams, Lewis, Connolly, Pinnock, Ashley-Seal, Kabamba.
