ANOTHER three points for Town - but Saints matched the feat.

Below are Examiner HTAFC reporter Doug Thomson's ratings for the game against Brighton on Saturday which Town won 3-2.

On page 2 are the fans' ratings.

IAN BENNETT
Although beaten twice, the consistent keeper produced another top performance including a penalty save. 8

GARY NAYSMITH
Showed real resilience against the roaming home midfield men and his quick thinking set up the first goal. 7

LEE PELTIER
The penalty award, which brought a booking, looked harsh and couldn’t take the edge off a gritty display. 7

JAMIE McCOMBE
Worked hard in the middle of defence and also caused problems up front, twice coming close with shots. 7

PETER CLARKE
His no-nonsense approach helped drive his side forward and keep the champions to two goals. Booked. 7

SCOTT ARFIELD
The Scot’s competitive spirit meant he had to be careful after a first-half caution, but he remained busy. 7

JOEY GUDJONSSON
His runs through the middle stretched the home side and won a string of free-kicks, two of which led to goals. 7

KEVIN KILBANE
Another industrious stint from the experienced midfield man whose influence is key to Town’s consistency. 7

JACK HUNT
The willing youngster continues to make an impressive contribution down the right-hand side. 7

BENIK AFOBE
His pace and power are clear to see, but the on-loan teenager also showed a real cutting edge in this game. 8

GARY ROBERTS
The tricky winger wasn’t bang on his game, but played a vital role nonetheless and put in some good set-pieces. 7

Substitutes:
Danny Ward (for Hunt, 54mins) 7, booked;
Jordan Rhodes (for Gudjonsson, 75mins) 6;
Alan Lee (for Naysmith, 88mins) 5.
