Transfer Deadline Day can be a frustrating time for a manager as Kevin Nolan found out when one of his targets 'forgot' to sign the paperwork. Northampton Town managed to bring in midfielder Kyle McAdam and defender Ben Hammond on loan from Nottingham Forest. But two forwards - both unnamed - that Nolan was pursuing on Monday to help in their fight against League One relegation slipped through his grasp. One was because a Premier League club didn't want to let their lad out and one forgot to sign the DocuSign we sent," he told BBC Radio Northampton following Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Barnsley. "We weren't able to get the extension [of the 19:00 deadline] so you can imagine that was unbelievably frustrating."
