The Terriers were 2-0 up against the League One leaders inside 20 minutes courtesy of Ryan Hardie and Ryan Ledson goals, before conceding twice from Tom Hamer throw-ins, including a Ryley Towler equaliser in stoppage time.
"Disappointed to concede so late from a set-piece," Manning told BBC Radio Leeds.
"Naturally when you've got something to hold onto there's a tendency to end up a little bit deeper because you're winning and they're chasing, so naturally they commit more bodies forward and go a bit more direct, which you naturally get pinned in a little bit."
Manning was still impressed with Huddersfield's "desire to compete, to run, to defend the box, to block things, to show some moments of quality" during the game which put his side at an early advantage. "I thought we frustrated them," he added.
"To get so close makes it feel a lot worse."
After scoring the opener, goalscorer Hardie was substituted at half-time after playing 90 minutes on Saturday against Port Vale.
"He was a threat off the shoulder," Manning said. "He's still on the way back in terms of [match] sharpness, it would be the first time he's done a Saturday-Tuesday in a while so he was feeling fatigued."
"He took a knock first-half and he was struggling a little bit but not injury related.
"We need to look after him and make sure we recover him as well as possible."
