Joe Pigott' s scrappy late goal settled a poor game and dealt a major blow to Town's survival hopes. Here are our player ratings from Plough Lane...
9. Mark Marshall
He was Town's most lively attacking player before half-time, although that's by no means a ringing endorsement given how flat the visitors were. Was hooked at the break as Brady changed shape... 5
10. Sam Hoskins
Had a quiet afternoon but was given the opportunity to salvage a point, only to hit a tame penalty too close to Tzanev, going from hero to zero after his midweek winner. He's not the first and certainly won't be the last to miss a penalty, but it was a bad time to squander his first for the Cobblers... 4
11. Danny Rose
Another wholehearted shift up top, but too many times this season he's come off the pitch having had nothing created for him in the penalty box... 5
12. Benny Ashley-Seal
Despite Town's second-half improvement, he was only ever on the fringes of the game and squandered one of precious few opportunities when neither passing nor shooting in the penalty box... 4.5
