Here are our player ratings from the One Call Stadium...
9. Jake Evans
Should have at least hit the target when in space on the edge of the box shortly after Mansfield hit the front. Very little involvement for the rest of the first half and then that was his day done... 4.5 Photo: Pete Norton
10. Michael Jacobs
Only his second league start all season. Cobblers sent a lot of high balls in his direction, a tactic that was never likely to bring much success. He wants and needs the ball on the floor not in the air. Smart bit of quick-thinking to take the throw that led to McGeehan's goal... 5 Photo: Pete Norton
11. Jack Vale
At his most dangerous when running at defenders but opportunities to do that were exceedingly rare. Hardly put a dent in Mansfield's back-line... 4 Photo: Pete Norton
12. Max Dyche
Came on at half-time but Cobblers defended worse in the second half than they did in the first... 4.5 Photo: Pete Norton
