Sam Hoskins tussles with AJ Leitch-Smith. Pictures: Pete Norton
Buxton's shot took a deflection but he seemed a little slow to move his feet, however he made two exceptional saves from Leitch-Smith, firstly standing tall to block an early chance before showing superb reactions late on... 7
Although he had a quiet first 45 minutes, it was initially assumed his half-time withdrawal owed to injury until Curle later revealed the move was tactical... 6
Recovered to make an important block from Leitch-Smith in the first-half and showed his versatility by slotting in at centre-back after half-time... 6.5
Far busier afternoon than he'd have liked, particularly second-half, but some desperate last-ditch defending was keeping Morecambe at bay until Ellison's leveller. Cautioned for a wild challenge in the first-half... 6.5
Not quite at his assured best for most of the afternoon, although wasn't helped by the way Town's midfield sat off and allowed Morecambe to regularly launch dangerous balls into his penalty box... 6
Don't think anyone expected him to be on a hat-trick after 37 minutes. Strong header gave Roche no chance before he profited from a deflection to put Cobblers two up. Generally decent in midfield too... 7.5 CHRON STAR MAN
