Coca Cola League Division One
Huddersfield Town 1-1 Bristol Rovers
Typical third Division fare yesterday, some meaty tackles flying in, not many chances, a draw a fair result I would say.
Town in front early on, a trademark piledriver from Michael Flynn from just outside the box. Not too many Town chances after that, only Flynn again going close with a headed chance. A combination of woeful Rovers finishing and Matt Glennon (as our defence was awful) keeping Town in front at the break.
Bristol equalised just after half time, Joe Skarz (not for the first time) beaten for pace, the cross fell to Rickie Lambert, who scored one of the easiest goals he will ever score. Our defence non existant yet again.
Both Town and Rovers pushed for a winner, although it never looked likely as Liam Dickenson was dreadful yesterday - more concerned with manhandling the opposition centre half than winning the ball. A draw, as I said, a fair result.

Steve Jones got 90 minutes yesterday, which surprised me as I felt he would have made way at some point, but he impressed me yesterday with his endevour. He looked for all the world a natural-born-Town-player, as if he had been playing for us since forever. You can tell he's played at a higher level. I put this to a Crewe supporting pal last night. He nearly spat his beer out in derision "..you're f****** welcome to him hehehehe..", his considered reply.
Funny that, I always though he was highly regarded at Crewe, maybe not then.
Anyways, I though he played well yesterday, and think he will be a worthwhile short-term investment.

Who was responsible for the Man Of The Match award yesterday? Stevie Wonder!!! You would have thought so, when they announced that Jim Goodwin had got it - he was easily the worst player out there, no wonder he covered his face in shame. I didn't boo that decision though, although plenty around me in the DG Lower did. It's not his fault he was selected was it!!!!
