Town were not at their best but still controlled much of the game and might have come away with all three points had Sam Hoskins converted his spot-kick 17 minutes from time. Instead, however, it was Dan Udoh who scored the winner in the first minute of stoppage-time. Here are our player ratings from New Meadow...
5. Patrick Brough
One of his quieter games, which is not to say he played badly by any means Wasn't hugely tested defensively but couldn't get forward as much as he might have liked... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
6. Shaun McWilliams
A little loose in possession at times but he did a lot of the hard work at the base of midfield to stop Shrewsbury making much headway... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
7. Marc Leonard
Perhaps not at his absolute best but he still saw plenty of the ball and dictated much of the play as Cobblers dominated possession... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
8. Mitch Pinnock
Missed the game's best chance outside of the penalty incident. Initially showed good composure to chop inside a defender but shot too close to Marosi shortly before half-time. Good work in the build up to the winning of the penalty... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
