Another excellent defensive effort ensured Paul Lewis' early goal was sufficient for all three points. Here are our player ratings from Sixfields. ..
5. Ali Koiki
If there is genuine interest in his services from bigger clubs, this performance won't have done much to dissuade them. Terrific at both ends of the pitch and still had the legs to charge forward in the 93rd minute, only denied his first goal for the club by King's reactions... 7.5
6. Shaun McWilliams
Another excellent performance from an ever-improving player. He dominated the midfield battle in and out of possession, getting the better of his old team-mate Ryan Watson. His passing and ability on the ball continues to be a revelation in recent weeks... 8 CHRON STAR MAN
7. Jack Sowerby
His best performance since coming back from COVID. At the heart of things as Cobblers played some nice stuff, especially in the first-half, finding spaces between the lines. His work off the ball then came to the fore during a scrappy second period... 7.5
8. Paul Lewis
Perfectly placed to turn home Guthrie's blocked shot for his sixth of the season. Strong display outside of that, hustling well off the ball in pressing Salford and winning a number of useful free-kicks... 7.5
