Shrewsbury 1-1 Northampton: Player ratings as Town make it three unbeaten
Shrewsbury and Northampton cancelled each other out in Shropshire as they drew 1-1 and Ollie Westbury has rated the Town players.
Jamal Blackman
The keeper did not really have a save to make in this one - made a couple of important interceptions but was not required all that much.
Quiet: 6
Morgan Feeney
Like most of the 22 players on the pitch there were a couple of stray passes from Feeney - but his defensive duties he tended too well.
Steady: 6
Josh Feeney
The Aston Villa loanee is someone who since he came into the side against Wigan has grown and grown - once again was a decent display from the youngster.
Decent: 7
Aaron Pierre
Scored for the second time in the Ainsworth era, with another super finish. He was up against the physical Tom Eaves, and he dealt with him well in the main.
Composed finish: 7
Luca Hoole
There were a few nice moments on the ball from Hoole and he is another player who has done well under Ainsworth.
Understated: 6
Mal Benning
A steady afternoon for Benning who did not manage to get as far forward as he has done on occasion but he was OK in this one.
OK: 6
Taylor Perry
The former Wolves man has been involved a lot since Ainsworth took over. He is comfortable on the ball usually, but it was a mixed bag from the midfielder in this one.
Mixed: 6
Alex Gilliead
Came back into the side for this match after missing out on Boxing Day. He was the best of the Town midfield three. He has done very well since Ainsworth came in and moved back to his central midfield role.
Under the radar: 7
Leo Castledine
Similar afternoon to Perry. He is always involved in the action and he has a great engine - but his quality could have been better at times.
Not far off: 6
John Marquis
Played a part in the Town goal but probably should have scored it himself. Marquis does work hard so you can see why Ainsworth favours him.
Tried: 6
George Lloyd
Another Town player who works hard but lacks that bit of quality at times. Got into a number of promising positions but wasted them.
Wasteful: 6
Substitutes:
Tom Bloxham 7 (Marquis 69), Josh Kayode 6 (Lloyd 69), Jordan Rossiter 6 (Perry 69)
Not used: Savin, Ojo, Nurse, O'Reilly.
