Coca Cola League One

Swindon Town 1-3 Huddersfield Town


Some welcome relief against a relatively poor Swindon side. We were in front in the 6th minute, with another goal from Liam Dickinson. From a corner, Andy Butler pulled the ball back for Dicko to slot home.

Then, possibly the turning point of the game. Andy Butler fouled Swindon midfielder Michael Timlin in the area to concede a penalty, but Matt Glennon was too good for Simon Cox, saving the resulting spot kick by guessing correctly that he would put it to the right.

Huddersfield two goals up not long after, Gary Roberts scoring an extraordinary goal. Glennons long punt upfield had the Swindon defenders on the hop as Robbo nipped in and scored on the volley straight from it!

All Huddersfield pretty much from that moment, and the three points were sealed in the second half, when Ian Craneys shot was cleared off the line, only to fall straight to Michael Flynn who didn't even take a touch as he volley home spectacularly from 20 yards into the top corner of the net.

Craig Easton scored a consolation for the home side with a couple of minutes left, however it was an afternoons work well done for our boys - lets hope this is the start of things to come.

Ronnie Jepson is delighted, and so he should be!
