A CRAIG Easton double helped nine-man Town revive their play-off push but not before an explosive and controversial second half.p>
The midfielder struck twice after Billy Paynter had gven the hosts a deserved early lead to hand Town a comfortable 3-1 half time advantage.
Two second half sending offs for the hosts though, for Lee Peacock and Billy Paynter, saw the visitors peg Town back to 3-2, with their second penalty of the game, but they held on in an anxious last few minutes.
Referee Ray Lee was jeered off at the final whistle after a second half which saw him lose control.
Jack Smith was a last-minute inclusion in tonight's Town side, with Jamie Vincent being withdrawn after feeling his groin injury in the warm up.

Smith lined up at right back, with Miguel Comminges switched to the left, while Sofiene Zaaboub came into the squad and onto the bench.
Maurice Malpas has again tinkered with his wingers as Town look to revive their play-off bid in tonight's home clash with Huddersfield.
Anthony McNamee will start on the left wing, with Christian Roberts dropping down to the substitutes bench, while Craig Easton will continue on the right side of midfield.
Town were given the ideal start within five minutes, with Billy Paynter grabbing his ninth of the season.
McNamee's clever ball down the left sent Simon Cox clear and his cross was flicked home by the former Port Vale man.
Huddersfield hit back though and almost levelled on 14 minutes. Phil Smith punched Frank Sinclair's long throw clear but Andy Holdsworth's looping header sailed over him and was cleared off the line by Lee Peacock.
McNamee was making the most of his start and a mazy run past Sinclair ended in a deep cross towards Cox, but the striker could only volley wide from an angle on 20 minutes.
The former Watford man ghosted past Sinclair again just two minutes later and a replica deep cross was this time volleyed home at the far post by Craig Easton to double Town's lead.
Chris Brandon then volleyed wide after Smith's punch fell to him on the edge of the area on 27 minutes.
Smith two minutes later bravely denied Huddersfield a route back into the game, diving at the on-rushing Michael Collins' feet when he had been sent clear on goal.
Town were 3-0 ahead on 31 minutes, with Easton grabbing his second of the game. Cox held up Smith's long clearance, laid the ball off to Paynter and his square pass to the right was fired into the net by Easton, via a big Robbie Williams deflection.
The visitors were controversially handed a lifeline when referee Mr Lee pointed to the penalty spot after Collins went down under the challenge of Lee Peacock and Comminges. Phil Jevons cooly slotted home the spot kick on 39 minutes.
Chris Allen saw a rasping drive from 20-yards tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Matt Glennon in the dying seconds of the half.
Sinclair should have scored on 53 minutes when he headed wide from eight yards after Williams' right wing corner found him unmarked.
A quiet second half was suddenly brought to life on the hour mark when Lee Peacock was sent off for a late tackle on Malvin Kamara. The midfielder and Town fans were stunned by the decision..
Town boss Maurice Malpas immediately withdrew Simon Cox for Jon-Paul McGovern as he looked to bolster the midfield in Peacock's absence.
Huddersfield piled forward looking for a way back into the game but, to Town's credit, Smith's goal remained relatively untroubled.
It was the hosts who almost scored the next goal, McNamee seeing an audacious 35-yard lob well held by Glennon on 70 minutes.
Referee Ray Lee incensed the home faithful further on 75 minutes when he sent Paynter off for handball on the line and awarded Huddersfield another penalty. To be fair this time he had no choice, with Andy Booth's goalbound header punched off the line, and Jevons converted the spot kick.
Luke Beckett was then fortunate to escape a red card of his own, after his elbow connected with Jack Smith.
Phil Smith produced a brilliant tip over with six minutes remaining from Booth's header as nine-man Town valiantly held on.
Huddersfield even pushed goalkeeper Glennon up for a late corner in the dying seconds but they were unable to secure a point.

strange how because we have 2 sent off, its the ref who is having a shocker, feliberate hand ball to stop a goal is a red whether the ref has a shocker or not

YOU REDS!! Sounded like a deserved 3 points, Smith can't be blamed for conceding 2 penalties but his 4 game average still stands at 2 per game, for God sake bring back Brez! Lampard straight red card on Saturday afternoon, overturned by Monday night, anyone else believe the FA will even bother to watch the replay of Peacocks sending off? I for one very much doubt it! Two games two incredibly poor referees. On the subject of the FA will they do anything about the Leeds keeper on Saturday inciting the Town End at the final whistle then throwing a missile back into the crowd, I saw the ref in the center circle watching him do it, wonder if he was paid enough not to include it in his match report.

I can't understand why Brez has been frozen out of the team. He's by far the best keeper we have. If i were a betting man i'd say we've already done a deal to sell him on at the end of the season. Question is - will he be going to Spurs or Newcastle?

Thank god that we have not signed Ashikodi on a permanent deal all he did was stroll around the pitch no effort at all. what a waste of space. It was like playing with 8 men with him on the pitch.

Marvellous game! Useless ref, 3-0 up with the quality that would have seen us stuff Leeds, dodgy pen, 2 sendings off and 3 points.
Only 4800 to see it though. So to all those that didn't come - hahahahahaha, you missed the most entertaining game in months!

How can anyone say the Phil Smith had a good game he was crap!!! Yes he made a good save at the end but that was about it. He dropped everything he attempted to catch he punched the ball like a pansy. Huddersfield should of scored twice in the first half from Smith weak punches which went straight to one of there players IN THE BOX. The 2nd goal was his fault if he didn't flap at the ball and mess up paynter wouldn't of had to do handball it and get sent off. Smith must be MM bumboy as if he keeps his place next tuesday there's something wrong!!!!! BRING BACK BREZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that was a game of two halves , little McNamee tied Sinclair in knots first half . I can't say I have ever been a big fan of Peacock runs a lot but to what end ?, eventually his frustration got the better of him and ther was no doubt it was a straight red .I am also a fan of Phil Smith and believe he deserves his chance but oh dear his command of his area leaves everyone in front of him in doubt and it was from this indeciseveness the second goal came about (In my opinion), Phil also punches where big Brez simply snatches the ball off of the forwards head and as for Ashikodi a proffessional athlete surely that must show on the training ground . One thing for sure Martin Ling certainly left with a big smile on his face , no Peacock no Paynter for him to worry about next Tuesday . Gotta hand it to Huddersfield though they played to feet and did'nt give up .
We certainly get our monies worth don't we .

I've been sticking up for smith on here of late, but I have to admit he was a bit shakey tonight.
Yes he did make some good saves, but his handling looked a bit dodgy at times and his kicking has been poor for the last 2 games. he just looked a bit nervous, which is unusual for him.
If we are talking about people getting into the team on merit then I think Brez deserves another go next game.

Cominges proved he is versatileand can play anywhere. To those who stayed away, you missed a really entertaining game.

A good performance last night, ruined by the imbecile in charge who surely must be contender for worst ref of the season along with Rob Styles. It made for great entertainment though I suppose, but it was a well deserved win.

He knows the rules - he (and we) paid the penalty (excuse the pun). We would still have taken the points with 10 men, so get over it!! Talking about bumboys - assume you have tried it then !!

How can anyone say the Phil Smith had a good game he was crap!!! Yes he made a good save at the end but that was about it. He dropped everything he attempted to catch he punched the ball like a pansy. Huddersfield should of scored twice in the first half from Smith weak punches which went straight to one of there players IN THE BOX. The 2nd goal was his fault if he didn't flap at the ball and mess up paynter wouldn't of had to do handball it and get sent off.

Moses Ashikodi must have been coached by the same people who taught Fola Onionbhajee how to "play" football. His cameo last night was embarrassing. Worst loan signing ever? I concur. I can run fater than Moses and i am fifty.....

Well Hertz, i think easton back to the middle in peacock's place and how about Comminges bombing up and down with Smith right back and Vincent back if fit. If Vincent unfit then as you were at the back and McGovern wide mid. Is Corr fit? If not then Sturrock is a **** site quicker than Moses and will work hard. Or, if he happens to be in the mood, then Robbo up front but at least with Sturrock you are guaranteed effort. There. Time to go home....
