SAM HORNBY 

Made a couple of excellent saves, but conceded an own goal and survived another comical moment when the referee blew for a foul after his punched clearance was diverted into the net.

Mixed: 6

HARRISON BURKE 

Survived the first half largely unscathed on his return from injury, but was caught on the ball when Jack Vale was denied one-on-one by Hornby after the break.

Faded: 6  

STAN STRAW 

Strong in the challenge and largely stood up to the challenge well until he misjudged the flight of the ball for Northampton's third, which he recovered well from.

Recovered: 7

RICO BROWNE 

Had a difficult evening up against a tricky customer in the form of Kamarai Swyer and was often beaten by the Northampton danger man.

Difficult: 5
