"I thought the lads dominated the game," said manager Ian Sampson after the 2-1 win, admitting he thought it would have been a 'travesty' had the Cobblers not taken all three points.
A second win in the space of four days leaves Town just outside the play-off places in League Two, two points behind Notts County albeit having played more games than most of the sides around them.
"We probably deserved a point but we switched off and didn't defend a corner properly, so we go home without any points," Cheltenham boss Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire meanwhile.
