    Football - Boothroyd ponders options

    Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd must decide whether to change a winning team for Bristol Rovers' visit to Sixfields.

    Boothroyd expects to have the same players available after reporting no new problems following Saturday's 1-0 home victory over Plymouth.

    One man pushing for a recall is Luke Guttridge. The midfielder has had to make do with a place on the bench in recent weeks since returning from a foot fracture.

    "Luke is fine physically but I don't think he has been in the form he was in before he got injured," Boothroyd told the media ahead of Tuesday night's game.

    "He is a terrific player and it shows you the quality of Lewis Hornby and his recent performances that I didn't think I could leave him out.

    "Luke will get back in that team at some point because he is so determined or tenacious to do so.

    "When you leave a player of Luke Guttridge's quality out it says to the rest of the squad that nobody is safe and that everybody must perform at all times."

    Joe Widdowson will complete a two-match suspension while fellow defender David Artell is back to full fitness after an Achilles injury.
