Town played well at Sixfields but were undone by Anthony Hartigan's long-range strike. Here are our player ratings...
9. Ali Koiki
Played on the left-wing and took a while to get himself into the contest. Saw more of the ball in the second-half and was involved in the business end of things, so nearly getting on the end of a couple of crosses... 6.5
10. Danny Rose
Ran hard but was mostly kept on the fringes of the game until a big chance finally came his way, however Tznaev was there to frustrate him... 6
11. Kion Etete
Must be a defender's nightmare, he's so strong and physical and relentless in the way he battles for the ball. A real focal point for the Cobblers throughout and led the press aggressively. Deserved a goal but some last-ditch defending twice denied him... 7.5 CHRON STAR MAN
12. Mitch Pinnock
Vibrant cameo from the bench, popping up on both sides of the pitch and through the middle. Unlucky not to grab an assist... 6.5
