AdverSport’s Dan Barnes hands out his player ratings from Swindon Town’s 3-1 loss to Northampton Town at the County Ground tonight.
Lawrence Vigouroux
Didn’t do an awful lot wrong but was left to pick the ball out of his net three times – 6.
Raphael Branco
Defended well enough at times but his passing left a little to be desired – 6.
Nathan Thompson (C)
Timed his interceptions superbly and acted as Town’s chief creator on the ball as he drifted into midfield time and again to get his side motoring. A virtuoso display – 8.
Lloyd Jones
Used his height to good effect when challenging for the ball in the air but could have been more accurate with the ball at his feet – 6.
Darnell Furlong
Grew as an offensive threat in the second period after a quiet first 45 – 6.
Yaser Kasim
Showed some good composure in the final third but wasn’t able to conjure up enough magic to drag his team to a result – 6.
Conor Thomas
Neat and tidy on the ball in midfield and did a solid job deputising at centre-half in the second period – 6.
John Goddard
Looked effective when getting in between the lines and became more of a threat as the game wore on – 7.
Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill
Made some good last-ditch challenges and like his fellow wing-back Furlong, grew to become an offensive outlet in the second period – 7.
Jonathan Obika
Looked confident and patient when on the ball but wasn’t quite at his sharpest on the night – 6.
Luke Norris
Back in the starting line-up after three matches coming off the bench and held the ball up well when needed but his final product was lacking – 5.
Substitutes
Sean Murray (on for Jones, ’45)
Added some verve to the Town midfield after his introdution and got himself a goal by chancing his luck from outside the area – 7.
Nathan Delfouneso (on for Norris, ’87)
Left no time at all to make an impact – 5.
