Both keepers were called into action a number of times throughout the game, with neither allowing a way through in the tight contest.
The Seasiders have now gone seven without a win in League One, and have only managed five goals in that time.
Here’s how they performed against the Cobblers:

8. Ryan Finnigan- 6
Ryan Finnigan was a bit hasty with a couple of challenges in the first half, and fluffed a shooting opportunity on the break just ahead of half time. It is good to see the midfielder given an opportunity in the league, with confidence certainly growing following a tough spell with injury. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

11. Jordan Rhodes - 6
Jordan Rhodes was given a chance in the absence of Dom Ballard, and came close to scoring towards the end of the first half, putting a header just wide of the target. Meanwhile, after the break, the striker was able to force Lee Burge into a good save, but more was needed on his chance in the league XI. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
