A Terrier's Tale.....

AFC Bournemouth 1-2 Huddersfield Town

Town secured 3 points away from home for the first time since October 21st with an excellent display against Bournemouth. Jacko made only one change, with Michael Collins returning after suspension, and so we stuck with a 4-4-2 formation, Boothy and Luke Beckett leading the line again.

We took the lead in the 12th minute, when a breakaway from defence led to captain Jon Worthington firing in a shot from 25 yards, hitting the inside of the post before going in. Town had lots of possession and richly deserved their lead.

As usual though, Town couldn't capitalise on this, and Bournemouth were back on terms just before half time - Stephen Purches beat Joe Skarz and shot past Matt Glennon.

Second half, and both teams were pushing for a winner. Worthy went off injured, and was replaced by Danny Schofield - and five minutes from the end it was Scoffer who sent the small travelling band of Town fans delirious when latching onto a Luke Beckett pass to score what could be a vital winning goal. (I was trying not to get too carried away at work, a discreet clenched fist and "...get in...", don't want to scare the customers).

Well, it would have been a long way home if we had come away with nothing, and I am delighted for the faithful who made the trip. A couple wins on the bounce - I am absolutely thrilled - and with 2 (winnable as well) home matches coming up, this could be the start of a season-turning run. Town are now in 11th (above both Bradford and Crewe - yay)!

This week promises to be a busy one for Jacko and Town, when the "...ins and outs..." should finally materialise. I haven't heard Oggy's post-match interview with Jacko yet (will post it on here as soon as), but I gather he was doing his very best to dig out vital information (nice work Paul, keep it up)!! Something about Swansea tabling a bid of our players (Pav I'm assuming, seeing as what he did to them the other week of course) - roumermongers are suggesting that Leon Knight could well be returning in a swap deal - who knows. To be honest I think Town should just take the money and find someone else as a replacement, but we will soon find out.

I trust PJ to get it right, but I fully realise I might be the only one saying this......
