A Terrier's Tale.....

Coca Cola League Division One

Huddersfield Town 0-0 Yeovil Town

A shivering Galpharm saw not the worst stalemate ever. What chances there were all fell to us, but the Yeovil keeper put in a man-of-the-match performance to keep shots from Liam Dickinson, Ian Craney, Nathan Clarke, Jon Worthington and Gary Roberts at bay. Danny Schofield appeared for Yeovil, but it was a least half an hour before I realised he was playing!!

Yeovil offered very little in return. On a good night Towns numerous efforts would have gone in, one of those nights.

One thing last nights game said to me was that we will not be going anywhere this season - we are not good enough. We will beat the strugglers, draw against the moderate sides and get thrashed by the better teams. Our season is going nowhere.

A few people in the DG Lower near me made their feelings known at full time, by making there way over to the dugouts hurling abuse at Stan and Ronnie. How much longer can Dean Hoyles patience hold out? Lets see what Saturday brings is probably what our Chairman-in-Waiting will say.

I have just about thawed out from last night, Christ it was cold. To add insult to injury I had to defrost my car when I got back to Crewe, so cold was it!! And while we are on the subject, my husband has stuck a curfew on night visits for now (bah). It has been a few seasons since I have travelled over for night matches, but increased hassle with trains (getting back after 12 most times) curtailed this practice of late. However, with a shiny new season ticket to use, and the fact I cannot always make a Saturday I made this trip (and for the Sheff U game).

Train problems resurfaced though, getting back from the Sheff United game was a doddle, straight off one train at Manchester, straight on one back to Crewe - back home just after 11, perfect. Not last night, even though the first train got back to Manchester okay I was horrified to see my connection heading out at the same time from the next platform along - missed it by 1 minute, meaning an hour wait for the next one, and the return to the after-midnight arrivals. I accept him being unhappy and the resons why. This was why I stopped coming over on a Tuesday night in the first place. Not sure what I'm going to do if this comes up again this season!
