Oliver Hawkins scored the game's only goal in the first-half before Paul Lewis was sent off late on. Here are our player ratings...
9. Bez Lubala
Just had too much traffic in front and around him when he received the ball, which meant he got crowded out for the most part and only lasted an hour... 5
10. Sam Hoskins
Played in a central role between midfield and attack but it was an afternoon of slim-pickings for the forward men. Not enough composure or quality in the final third, particularly in the second-half when Town created precious little in search of an equaliser... 5
11. Chanka Zimba
Looked dangerous when Cobblers got bodies around him and the ball was close by, but unfortunately that did not happen too often. Had nothing more than a couple of half chances in 71 frustrating minutes... 5.5
12. Josh Eppiah
Within moments of coming on he burst down the right flank and injected life into Town's faltering attack. Led a great chance on the counter-attack but didn't get his head up... 6
