Here are our player ratings from a mixed night for the Cobblers...
5. Jordan Turnbull
Defended well in the first-half and then did a good job when asked to man mark Broom after the break, restricting the influence of Cheltenham;s danger man... 7 CHRON STAR MAN
6. Ryan Watson
Fantastic close control and finish got Town off to a great start, but he'll be disappointed not to have allowed Broom to cut inside and find the bottom corner. Never really got control in the middle... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
7. Chris Lines
A tough night in truth and was perhaps fortunate to last the distance given Town's inability to gain a foothold in midfield. Also saw yellow for a high challenge... 5
8. Paul Anderson
A periphal figure in the first-half and was withdrawn at the break... 5 Photo: Pete Norton
