Huddersfield Town 0-1 Leyton Orient
Regular visitors to this site might not be too surprised to see us only manage nil (poor Luke)!
Town did everything except score on a damp soggy afternoon against a, for me anyway, not all that impressive Leyton Orient side, who although top of the league at the moment did nothing to suggest they will be there come May. They scored in the 3rd minute with their only chance of note - David Mirfin leaving enough space for Adam Boyd to get a shot away just out of reach of Matt Glennons despairing dive.
After that almost one way traffic. All Towns best work started with Malvin Kamara - he was superb yesterday, gave Orients left back the runaround tine and again, but his balls into the box could have benefited from Boothys head and not Luke Becketts - in fact in my opinion had Boothy been playing we would have thrashed them. It was one of those days.
Town completely bossed this game possession and chance wise - despite the referees best efforts (I can't remember the last time we had so many decisions go against us). Beckett, Schofield and Kamara all had chances but the Orient defence stayed firm.
Phil Jevons made his Town debut in the second half - he'll do alright for us if he keeps playing like he did for the 20 minutes he figured, with some lovely balls and touches, he almost scored with a spectacular overhead effort that went just wide of the post.
Orients keeper was booked for timewasting near the end, but Orient offered little attacking wise. Town will play a hell of a lot worse and win games this season, we were well worth at least a point - probably deserved to win - this result has probably cost AR his Manager of the Month chance.
