The Cobblers have completed a deal to sign Kelvin Langmead on a permanent deal this afternoon. Peterborough have agreed to let the defender go and that should at least give us some stability at the back, something that’s been severely lacking this season. I didn’t think I would ever say it but it’s actually decent news based on the last couple of games and a partnership with Ben Tozer is starting to bear a bit of fruit. Aidy clearly likes him so that’s enough for me and it’s another one on our books full time.
Going out the Sixfields door, though, is Mr red card himself Nick McKoy. The midfielder, signed by Gary Johnson, hasn’t impressed the Cobblers boss enough and having lined up another move in the transfer window has had his contract terminated.
Gary Johnson, meanwhile, has come out of hiding and put himself in the running for the newly vacant manager’s position at Bristol Rovers. Johnson, before his misdemeanors at Sixfields, was of course an ex boss of the Gas’ city rivals Bristol City and is apparently one of the front runners for the job. Thanks to @johnverrall, a Peterborough United fan on Twitter, who pointed out that Johnson is still attempting to fulfill his season’s wishes of keeping Northampton Town in the league!
