Town were denied their first non-Saturday win of the season by referee Phil Crossley s controversial late award of a penalty, apparently for a handball by Jason De Vos. Danny Haynes had put the Blues in front three minutes after the break, David Healy equalising via the controversial spotkick.
Town will feel unlucky to have lost an action-packed encounter 3-2 to West Bromwich Albion. A suspiciously offside looking injury time goal from Geoff Horsfield finally won a game which had swung first one way and then the other with a number of vital refereeing decisions going against the home side.
Jim Magilton is Town s only injury worry ahead of Saturday s home clash against Preston North End. The midfielder has a calf problem but Joe Royle is still hoping to include the Northern Irishman in his side.
