Ryan Edmondson, Mark Marshall and Ryan Watson all had chances but failed to convert, keeping Town firmly in relegation trouble at the bottom of League One. Here are our player ratings...
9. Ryan Watson
His powerful forward bursts were the main feature of the first-half and yielded three chances. Squeezed out for one but with a bit more composure he could have converted either of the other two. Needs to keep doing that... 7 CHRON STAR MAN
10. Mickel Miller
How Brady must have wanted to go against the advice of his staff and keep him on for a bit longer. A real bright spark in the first-half, some lovely touches and darting runs. Hopefully a lot more to come... 6.5
11. Ryan Edmondson
Had his best 45 minutes in a Cobblers shirt before half-time. Worked hard, ran the channels and his excellent hold-up play created three chances for team-mates. But Town need him to score goals and he missed his one big chance here... 7
12. Sam Hoskins
This was only the second game since the start of last season that he did not start. Made a swift impact as a half-time sub when slipping through Edmondson within minutes of the restart... 6.5
