Kion Etete and Jon Guthrie were the men on target as Town just about got the better of old boss Keith Curle. Here are our player ratings from Sixfields...
5. Ali Koiki
Played a prominent role down the left, combining effectively with Pinnock and delivering dangerous balls into the penalty box. Sound defensively as Oldham mostly threatened down the other side, though couldn't stop Piergianni from halving the deficit... 7.5
6. Shaun McWilliams
Ran the show alongside Sowerby for 45 minutes and played a key role in the second goal when spreading an excellent first-time ball out wide to Koiki. Became bogged down and dropped too deep in the second-half and then picked up a foolish yellow card after full-time, ruling him out of Saturday... 7
7. Jack Sowerby
Terrific in the opening period and was at the heart of Town's best moments. Classy on the ball in progressing play forward. Perhaps his recent injury troubles caught up with him as he and the team faded in the second-half... 7.5
8. Paul Lewis
He found pockets between the lines and his movement caused problems but there was no end product. In the second-half he found himself in no man's land a little, neither playing as a midfielder nor being close enough to provide support for Etete... 6.5
