Huddersfield need to be more disciplined - Manning

Huddersfield Town must be more disciplined after finishing their second successive game with 10 men, says head coach Liam Manning.

The Terriers had striker Alfie May sent off just before the half-hour mark of their 1-0 League One victory over Luton Town on Tuesday.

That followed the dismissal of midfielder Marcus McGuane during Saturday's 1-0 derby-win over Bradford City in Manning's first game in charge

"We have to be more disciplined, making sure we don't keep doing that as it hurts us ultimately," the new boss told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I'm led to believe it (the red card) was due to a hair pull. I've spoken to Alfie and he said there was no intention in it so for me it's extremely harsh, but the referee is a lot closer than me so I'll have to have that chat and see what he says.

"But after that the response, the togetherness, the spirit, the desire to put in the hard yards and restrict them to very little, and then a moment of outstanding quality to win the game."

Skipper Ryan Ledson's goal from his own half proved to be the decisive moment against Luton, with Huddersfield sixth in the table going into Saturday's trip to Peterborough (15:00 GMT).

"Credit to the lads and the staff. We've been here eight days now and to pick up six points in two extremely difficult games in difficult circumstances underpins what we want to be in terms of the work ethic, togetherness, spirit and the fight," added Manning.

"That has to be the starting point but we have to learn to finish with 11 men and find a way of making a game look how we want - but ultimately it's about finding a way to win."
