Summer signing Akinfenwa scored twice from the penalty spot in the space of five second-half minutes to put the Cobblers in control of the game.
Gray said: "Adebayo made things happen for us throughout the game despite having five stitches in a head wound.
"His ball retention was excellent and besides his two goals he has played a big part in Leon's goal."
Of the game itself, Gray added: "We were off the pace in the first half and looked nervous and it wasn't until we went behind that we got going.
"But once we equalised I thought we should have taken the lead before the interval. I wanted to hit the ground running and we did in the end."
