5. Tom Dallison - 7
Solid defensively, won most of his aerial duels and kept things simple in possession. Replaced by Tsaroulla late on.
6. Jack Powell - 7
Provided plenty of quality in midfield for the Reds, and contributed to some neat attacking moves on the right wing. A consistent performer in midfield for Crawley.
7. Jake Hessenthaler - 6
Looked the most likely to score today as he got into some great attacking positions. Came close with a few shots against a resolute Northampton defence.
8. Will Ferry - 6
Showed some good energy and skill on the ball, but ultimately struggled to make a big impact on the game. Subbed off for Appiah in the 59th minute.
