Bristol Rovers 2-3 Huddersfield Town

Now that's what I call a result!! Our season retains at least a weeks more interest after this well fought victory.

Not all plain sailing, with Town behind twice in this match. In the 20th minute, Rovers debutant Josh Klein-Davies scoring from a corner that Matt Glennon came to punch for. Town on terms before half-time with James Berrett scoring the first goal of his career. Frank Sinclairs good ball across the box was not dealt with by the Rovers defence, Berrett allowed time to control before smashing a left foot shot home.

Second half, and Town found themselves behind again. Chris Lines got the better of Michael Collins before sliding the ball into the goal from an angle.

Town were not done, far from it. Chris Brandon made the scores level again, after a long throw from Nathan Clarke was flicked on by Andy Booth, and Brando knocked the ball in from 8 yards, making for a very interesting last few minutes.

2 minutes to go saw Town get their winner, and a beauty it was. Michael Collins left foot curler from the edge of the box after good play from Andy Booth sending the small travelling contingent delirious!!!

It took an excellent save from Matt Glennon and the crossbar to prevent a 3-3 scoreline right at the death, but victory was ours

Operation Playoffs, or too much to do. Who knows...............
