Coca Cola League Division One

Southend United 0-1 Huddersfield Town

Gerry Murphy and Graham Mitchells caretakership came to a end in fine fashion, with an excellent performance away at Southend.

Iam Craneys 48th minute effort enough to seperate the two sides, Michael Collins played the ball across for a simple tap in.

Southend had a chance to equalise with a penalty 7 minutes from the end - a Robbie Williams foul on Kevin Betsy - but Alex Smithies was equal to Junior Stanislas, to the delight of the 367 travelling Town fans.

Who would have thought this 6 weeks ago. 10th in the league, only 3 points behind Leeds in 9th and 6 points away from the playoffs. We could not have dreamt of such a thing when Ternent was manager, Gerry and Graham have done a marvellous job since we got rid.

I'm confident that Lee Clark and his backroom staff will continue this good run.
