Northampton Town player ratings from League One defeat to Shrewsbury Town
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…
