13. Josh Eppiah
Really bright off the bench and was almost a one-man attack at times as he led the charge on the break. Had a big late chance to snatch victory but it was more good goalkeeping than a bad miss... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
14. D'Margio Wright-Phillips
Never got the chance to show what he can do as the ball barely broke to him... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
15. Ben Fox
Cobblers seemed to have a bit more control after he came on, and his pass almost set up a late winner... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
