Here are our player ratings from the PTS. ..
9. Sam Hoskins
Not a lot happened for him in attack - bar one snapshot late on - but he was superb defensively. Nullified the dangerous McGeady and was never caught out of position... 8
10. Benny Ashley-Seal
Didn't have much to go on but his hold-up play was excellent given the lack of support. Got Cobblers up the pitch and his mere presence and work ethic kept Sunderland's defenders on their toes... 7.5
11. Danny Rose
Worked hard up top but got nothing out of Sunderland's defence and wasn't provided with the service required to threaten in front of goal... 7
12. Fraser Horsfall
Did a good job of slotting into the back three after Sheehan was forced off... 6.5
