Huddersfield Town 2-0 Bradford City

Town registered a double against a very poor Bradford side in a bad tempered affair at The Galpharm. From what I can gather we have played a hell of a lot better this season (the Crewe match for instance) and lost! Jon Worthington returned to the midfield, and Martin McIntosh made the bench (it was announced earlier in the week that Tosh and Mark Hudson both have a "...clean slate...").

Message for any stray Bantams that have found their way here:

YOU ARE GOING DOWN!!

Town were in front in the third minute when Paul Hayes opened his account with a good header from Andy Taylors cross (Taylor had his best game in a Town shirt by a mile).

Bradford wasted various chances, but all in all they were a very poor outfit, and playing like that they will be playing 4th division football next season (snigger).

Town wrapped up the points when Danny Schofields lob found the back of the net with 15 minutes left.

All in all a very sweet victory against our hated rivals, and I am thrilled to pieces (following the game at work not proving as difficult as anticipated as the "...livescore..." site we are permitted to use (discreetly) kept me fully up to date). Although I am hoping that one of the players will come out and say that this victory was as much for Jacko as anyone. That would be nice.

You can't blame me for being a bit upset at PJ missing out on this, can you.

Spotted in the ground - Andy Richie, Gary Megson and Stuart McCall - although all have been linked with Bradford job as well so I am not reading too much into this - in fact Mr Davy has hinted it could be 3 or 4 weeks before an appointment is made. More news on the Jeppo situation - yes, it definitely looks like Gillinghams chairman is in it for the compensation - reportedly wanting to agree a figure before we can speak to Rocket Ron again (I wonder you know if Jeppo actually applied for the Town job - I have a suspicion he might have done, but obviously Mr Davy has to do these things correctly of course - this is going to run for a bit longer yet)!
