5. Akin Odimayo
Virtually all of Bolton's threat came down the other flank, especially first half, so he had a quiet time of it. Tried to get forward, having one shot blocked, but the lack of attacking thrust was evident down both sides... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
6. Mitch Pinnock
Good movement and combination play to create the equaliser. Had a difficult night going the other way with Bolton regularly causing problems on their right. Osei-Tutu was particularly dangerous... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
7. Liam Shaw
In the thick of the action at both ends. Nice and composed finish to bring Cobblers level but then picked up a booking before he got it all wrong when trying to clear Collins' cross, instead smashing into his own net... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
8. Terry Taylor
A bright spark. His quality on the ball helped Town keep possession for decent periods across both halves. Played a key role in the equaliser. Just needed a bit more punch when it came to the final third... 7 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton
