Mansfield were heading for a much-needed three points at Bolton on Tuesday, until Hiram Boateng's red card led to a late collapse and a fourth defeat on the bounce.
It's now just four points from a possible 21 available since beating Blackpool on October 5th.
Huddersfield are heading in the opposite direction with Tuesday's slender win over Wigan making it six wins from their last eight.
The fourth place Terriers have not won four league games on the bounce since May 2022.
