Promotion-chasing Huddersfield had been on a good unbeaten run recently but this performance wasn't near those standards as they slipped three down by the break.

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark said after the game: "I'm very sore after that, as well as very angry and embarrassed. I don't want to put my name to that performance but I am the manager, I take full responsibility and have to take it on the chin.

"I'm hurting a lot because from ten minutes into the game there was only one team that was going to win."

Heffernan had a disastrous night and Clark decided to replace him at the break with Krystian Pearce.

The former Central Coast defender failed to fully clear the danger in the lead-up to the opener, before somehow allowing Dean Hammond to worm in behind him on the wing to provide the assist for the second.

"Krystian is a centre-back, but we had too many problems in the first-half that we had to try and rectify," said Clark. "You have to be competitive and have to be men, but for at least two of their goals we weren't competitive.

"I didn't bring Dean Heffernan off because of injury, but in all honesty I could have brought any of the ten outfield players off."

Elsewhere overnight in League Two, Oliver Bozanic played a full game for Aldershot Town in a 1-0 win over Bradford City which puts them into eighth.

Finally, James Meredith put in a full shift as York City missed out on a FA Trophy semi-final spot after a 2-1 loss to Barrow.
