What a great game!
We started quite brightly but then Huddersfield started to take hold and scored from a quality strike which being hyper-critical the defence backed off a little bit too much to allow the striker to turn and shoot.
I feared the worse.
But what a response. We were the team that came back at Huddersfield. I wouldn't say we pummelled them or anything like it, but we were the team on top. And we scored. And we scored a good goal again. 2-1. Fodderingham brilliantly turned over a good shot but in truth the Huddersfield striker should have done better from the position and the space he was in. Half time.
And so I waited for the inevitable second half onslaught, and as you'd expect Huddersfield started to dominate posession. But they didn't really threaten goal with it. And the longer it went on the more space we had on the counter. And what a third killer goal it was. Ferry raced some distance into the Huddersfield half, looked to have overrun it but toe poked it out wide to Esejas whose perfect cross landed at Kerouche's feet and he tapped/scuffed it in. Doesn't sound like much but the speed of defence to attack was amazing.
The forth goal was the icing on the cake, Ferry shooting straight at the keeper but it was too hot to handle. When the rebound came he had the presence of mind and calmness to sidestep left and place it in.
I'm struggling to remember a Huddersfield shot of any anger at our goal.
Kennedy was my man of the match, though I wouldn't disagree with Ferry getting it either. Flint became better and better as the game went on. McCormack was superb again. In fact the only player perhaps slightly below par was Gabby, but it didn't matter.
I also thought Connell lead the line very well, holding up play and trying to bring in others. But other fans around me and at half time seemed less impressed. Oh how we all see different things.
Lastly, nice touch giving Ward a good reception. Was it me or did it look like he'd been on the pies?
Anyway we were fantastic, just fantastic.
You'll see!
To be fair you are the first team in six to score past Foddringham. That's not bad going
