Town scored their first home goals and registered a first home win of the year and in doing so breathed new life into their battle for League One survival. Here are our player ratings from an impressive team performance...
9. Mickel Miller
He's good fun to watch when in full flight with his darting runs and silky touches. Good hit on the volley saved by Cooper. Town's best player before Watson stole the show. Still not quite at peak fitness so faded in the second-half... 7.5
10. Ryan Watson
Cobblers needed someone to step up and he's answered the call. Fabulous first-time finish broke the deadlock and then made it four in four with a scruffier but equally important second. Thriving in an advanced role... 9 CHRON STAR MAN
11. Ryan Edmondson
Still waiting for his first goal but he should take great confidence from his all-round display here. Led the line well, put in a great shift and teed up Watson nicely for the opening goal... 7.5
12. Danny Rose
Did some great work as a second-half sub to help Cobblers fend off Plymouth's mounting pressure... 6.5
