Defender delighted to get on the scoresheet on his return to the side but frustrated Town didn't take all three points

Tommy Smith echoed the frustrations of the dressing-room, as Town let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Huddersfield at Portman Road.

The New Zealand international netted the first goal of the afternoon, heading home a Teddy Bishop centre, before Christophe Berra had Blues two-up early in the second-half.

However Luke Chambers fouled Grant Holt with 20 minutes to go to give the Terriers a penalty, which Nahki Wells converted, before the striker added to his tally to earn a share of the spoils with eight minutes remaining.

“It’s very disappointing to draw after leading 2-0, we have to see the game out,” Tommy told the Club website.

“Huddersfield made a few changes which caused us problems. The gaffer is angry with us and rightly so, we need to stop dropping points.

“It’s a bit bittersweet for me in a way, as I’m delighted to score but ultimately disappointed not to have won the game.

“Ted Bishop put the ball in and I actually didn’t see the ball go in! But I was delighted to get on the scoresheet.

“I’m pleased to have been involved this week after missing out earlier in the season. It’s a squad game and I totally understand. I just make sure I’m ready when called upon, such as today.”
