But boss Jon Brady was left to reflect on the fine margins involved as Town failed to find a winner.
It’s been a decent enough start to the season so far though with Cobblers collecting five points in their opening four games.
And is a trend that will continue, according to a supercomputer – published by OLBG – which expects Cobblers to avoid a bottom four finish.
Here is how the supercomputer thinks League One will finish and how many points Cobblers will pick up.

How does the SuperComputer work?
The SuperComputer is a probability model, not determined by human predictions or bias. What happens is the SuperComputer estimates the outcome of each remaining fixture based on a team’s current strength (based on factors such as league position and form) and betting market odds.
The machine then simulates the remaining games in a season 1,000 times and constructs an average league table from the ensuing simulations, to rule out anomalous results.
