Huddersfield Town 1-1 Chesterfield
Town and Chesterfield played out an uninspiring 1-1 draw in front of just short of 9,900 supporters on a blustery day at the Galpharm.
Even though the weather was not suited to such a tactic, Town seemed hell-bent on playing it in the air (not long ball necessary, just up in the air) - it was not a pretty sight. In fact, in the first half we were absolutely diabolical!!!! Three blokes sat behind me were determined to lay the blame with Chris Brandon and only Chris Brandon- unfairly in my opinion (naturally) - no-one (aside from David Mirfin) really covered themselves with glory (I spent most of the first half glaring disapprovingly over my shoulder at the culprits - one was heard to mutter "... whats with her, Chris Brandon fan-club ..."). If they had to have a go at anyone maybe it should have been Joe Skarz - he looked well out of his depth, was caught out of position time after time (someone was heard to say "...Danny Adams would have had that..." "...Danny Adams would have flattened him...").

Chesterfield had the first chance, when a mix-up involving Matty Glennon allowed Derek McNiven to shoot at at almost empty net - David Mirfin standing on the line calmly hacked it away.
Then the visitors took the lead, when a nice passing movement (helped by Joe Skarz being out of position again) led to a cross for Peter Holmes to easily head home, and Town remained 1-nil down at the break.
Jon Worthingtons suspect groin only allowed him 45 minutes action, and he was replaced by Matty Young during the interval.
Second half, and Town came out all guns blazing (probably had PJ giving them both barrells at half time), and an equaliser was soon in coming when Matty Young scored his first senior goal, slotting in from 10 yards out after some nice Town play involving Chris Brandon and GTF.
Town looked the more likely to win the game in all honesty, but a second goal didn't materialise. Chesterfield went down to 10 men in injury time when Mark Allott picked up a second yellow card.
As I said, an uninspiring performance - but at least we gained a point and are unbeaten in 3 games. Another home game next weekend, when Ronnie Jepsons Gillingham provide the opposition.
