Huddersfield Town 1-1 Crewe Alexandra

Boothy saved my Christmas blushes, but the way Town played today they deserved nothing. A disappointingly low crowd of less than 10,000 saw a typical Town performance - lacklustre, outplayed (against a team who hadn't scored in nearly 6 hours of football and had been thrashed 0-4 at home last Saturday).

Lee Barnard (Tottenham loanee who found the net during our defeat at their in September) opened the scoring in the 19th minute, a ball over the top that he ran onto (he was a mile offside I'm told, although I have yet to see it) played over Matt Glennon.

Crewe never really looked like getting another, but looked comfortable all the same (despite Town having more possession). Jevons, Collins and Schofield all with chances for Town, but at half time we were still behind.

Andy Ritchie stubbornly refused to change things, despite Towns woeful (at times) play. Ronnie Wallwork had a poor afternoon by his standards and Malvin Kamara was anonymous.

It was 5 minutes from the end when the undeserved leveller came. Jevons with the corner, met by the head of Andy Booth, scoring with his trademark header.

Another home match on Saturday, Northampton.
