9. Nicky Adams
There was a spell before HT when he delivered two or three teasing cross, only for no-one to gamble & take advantage. Cobblers need to find him in those positions more often as otherwise his threat was too easily nullified... 5
10. Danny Rose

11. Harry Smith
Good strength and awareness to tee up Horsfall for Town's only real chance of the game. He was OK in the first-half but then struggled badly to have an impact in the second, comfortably contained by Accrington's defenders... 5 Photo: Pete Norton
12. Benny Ashley-Seal
Could count on one hand the amount of times he touched the ball during his 20 minutes on the pitch... 5.5
