Harper To Face Old Club

Last updated : 08 November 2002 By
The Cobblers number one keeper made 132 appearances at Loftus Road before leaving in the summer of 2001. Haper a popular figure in Shepherds Bush should be welcomed by R's fans, but he will be looking to keep and clean sheet and hope that the Cobblers can build on last weeks 3-0 success at home to Luton Town.

Town will be without John Frain, who pick up an injury in that game, so Chris Carruthers may return to the starting line up. The only other major question to be raisedc is who will start, Derek Asamoah or Paul Harsley in midfield. Both have been really impressive in all appearances so far this season.

With a limited sqad to choose from again, Kevan Broadhurst goes into the game with a side that almost picks itself.

Town won 1-0 at Loftus Road last season and drew 2-2 at Sixifields, clawing bace a 0-2 deficit. We also beat Rangers 2-1 at Sixfields in the Worthington Cup.
