Town defended superbly and won the game through Sam Hoskins' second-half strike. Here are our player ratings from the PTS. ..
5. Joseph Mills
He was up against Oxford's most menacing threat in Agyei, who has pace to burn, but didn't give an inch. Defended smartly and aggressively and attacked when he was able to. Set-pieces caused one or two problems... 8
6. Shaun McWilliams
Whenever the ball went loose, he always seemed the first one to it. Back to his combative best and it's no coincidence that when he plays well, so do the team. Gives the back four an extra layer of security.... 8.5
7. Bryn Morris
He supplied Cobblers with energy and that little bit of quality on the ball in their midfield. He looked to play forward and had the vision and bravery to attempt line-breaking passes, even if they didn't always hit their targets... 8
8. Ryan Watson
He did an effective job of linking midfield with attack, allowing Cobblers to break out from deep areas and get on the front foot. Often the driving force and landed on so many second balls... 8.5
