Town
look
as
if
they
are
going
to
have
to
go
into
the
playoffs
without
leading
scorer
Leon
Knight
after
the
diminutive
striker
was
sent
off
for
violent
conduct
in
only
the
4th
minute
of
the
local
derby
at
the
McAlpine
Stadium.
Knight
appeared
to
elbow
Scott
McNiven
in
the
head
in
an
off-the-ball
incident
and
left
the
referee
with
no
alternative
other
than
to
send
him
off
for
an
early
bath.
Meanwhile Town defended stoutly for the rest of the game and managed to hold out for a draw despite their inferiority in numbers. Indeed Delroy Facey had chances to score but fired two shots wide and then hit the woodwork with a header.
Oldham had their chances too but once again the woodwork came to the rescue plus Martyn Margetson had another good game in the Terriers goal.

against

In a goalless first half Town managed to hit the bar courtesy of Leon Knight and Schofield fired wide whilst at the other end Martyn Margetson produced some great saves to keep Wrexham at bay, notably thwarting Trundle and Phillips .
The second half saw Margetson produce another string of fine saves but it was Town who took the lead as Delroy Facey scored his first goal of the season when he headed home from close range.
Unfortunately Town's lead lasted no more than 3 minutes as Faulconbridge headed home a Ferguson corner to give Wrexham a share of the points.

and
put

the

Town
made heavy
weather
of this
game against
the league's
bottom
club but
came away
with the
points
thanks
to on-loan
striker
Leon Knight
scoring
his seventh
goal in
seven
games.
Both teams were fairly ineffective in the first half although Cambridge took advantage of their familiriarity with their own ground to put on a performance that belied their position in the table.
Town finally got the breakthrough in the 64th minute when Leon Knight headed home a Clyde Wijnhard cross.
Then, in the final minute, Cambridge wawarded a penalty after Gareth Evans pushed Wanless in the area but Ian Ashbee's penalty rolled wide of Margetsons upright.

Town 2 - 0
Swindon Town
This was
something
of an easy
win for the
Terriers as
they scored
in both halves
and completed
the double
over the Wiltshire
team.
The first goal in the 21st minute was something of a howler as Griemink in the Swindon goal somehow contrived to fumble the ball and let it roll into his own net after a 25-yard shot from Kenny Irons.
After the break Town continued the workmanlike performance and in the 52nd minute Leon Knight latched on to a Danny Schofield cross and headed the ball into the Swindon goal.
With Swindon rarely troubling the home defence this was a good performance from the Terriers and the result sees them move back into the play-off places.

The play-off aspirations
of Town were kept alive
by a late goal form Leon
Knight as Town came away
with a point from Saltergate.
Chesterfield were the better team on the night with keeper Marty Margetson producing some good saves to keep the Spireites at bay but he was finally beaten in the 42nd minute by a clever lob from Martyn Booty.
It looked as though all three points were going to the home team until Knight popped up in the 83rd minute with a tremendous 20-yard shot that gave Town a share of the points.

0 - 0 Wigan Athletic
This battle of the promotion
contenders was won by the
defenders as both sides failed
to make any headway in this
entertaining game.
Wigan had the
best chance to take all three
points through De Zeeuw inj
the 52nd minute but the visiting
skipper's header was brilliantly
saved by Martyn Margetson.
Apart from this there were
very few chances at either
end although Schofield for
the Terriers and Liddell for
Wigan were denied by game-saving
tackles.
