Boothroyd planning changes

Northampton boss Aidy Boothroyd is again expected to rotate his squad for the visit of local rivals MK Dons in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

The first-round tie on Tuesday night will be a third game in six days - and third different competition - for the Cobblers. Lee Nicholls returned in goal for the league fixture at Plymouth on Saturday after being ineligible against Wolves in the Capital One Cup on Thursday evening. However, teenager Dean Snedker may get another run out against the Dons. On-loan right-back Danny East kept his place at Home Park after making his debut against Wolves, so the only other change in Devon saw Adebayo Akinfenwa restored to the attack in place of Clive Platt. Ishmel Demontagnac was lively as a second-half substitute against Plymouth at the weekend and the midfielder will be in the frame to make his first start for the club. Boothroyd also has Anthony Charles, Henoc Mukendi, Lewis Wilson and Louis Moult to call on.
