MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (h) sponsored by Compo

[Ian Royal]

Wagner takes off Bunn 50 minutes after bringing him on.

Apparently they've put them big men up hoping for a knock down to Wells.


We're very jittery.

[BonBoh]

fair play to Huddersfield, they've put 3 up front and are having a right go at us with 10 men...
Wells just misses.

[BonBoh]

Harriott and Watson do well on the wing. Kermi with a scissor kick attempt ends up in the stands..

[Ian Royal]

Harriott goes down in the box, Tim says pen, Mick and ref say no. Huddersfield go down the other end and nearly score.

[BonBoh]

Harriott brought down on edge of box - no foul!

Smith on the counter puts ball through to Wells but it goes through his legs and chance gone.

[BonBoh]

Huddersfield going very direct and pressing hard. Hefele just missed another chance with a header. Goal kick Royals. Time running out.

[tulip]

Edge of the seat stuff, phew!!!

Thanks for the stream btw.

[BonBoh]

Final minute of injury time. Throw-in to Royals.
Another Huddersfield attack. Wells shoots over bar.
Goal kick Royals. Last minute drama here.

[genome]

GTFI!

[Ian Royal]

FT with an Al-Habsi unconventional save.

Unbeaten in 8. Unbeaten at home.

[BonBoh]

Kermi good defending
Another attack by Huddersfield with a good save from Al Habsi. Game Over!!!

Well played Huddersfield. Full respect for a gutsy performance. Well played Royals. Into 4th until Newcastle stuff the Villa later on...

[Libertine]

FT 1-0

[Ian Royal]

Huddersfield sound like they did themselves justice, shame they can probably point to a poor ref for not getting more out of the game.

We're grinding them out. I'm not sure we'd have got 1 point out of the last two last season, let alone all six!

[Pepe the Horseman]

Due a bit of luck. Winning ugly. Happy days.

[Royalwaster]

Imagine if we had a deadly striker though ... we'd be ripping up this league ....

[Ian Royal]

Kermie might not be scoring much, but that doesn't particularly seem to be his job and by most accounts he's playing very well. We're light a few goals, but not too many with the likes of Swift, Beerens and Harriott/McCleary all chipping in.

Good strike from Beerens, looked like it must have been deflected. LOLz at the red card, Huddersfield players were not happy with him. Seemed somewhat unnecessary from the ref unless the SKY highlights missed out a great deal more mouthing off.

[Nameless]

LOL at relying on highlights...
Really simple red card, utter stupidity by their player. First of all he'd got the kick so why yell at the ref ? Then when the ref warns him, and calls the skipper over to give a formal warning, why mouth off again. And why do that when you are already on a yellow ?
They had two players booked for dissent when they had got the freekick !

Yeah the ref was just gonna give him a warning but he just refused to walk to the ref. The ref just gave a shrug and a tut and sent the prick off. If I'd been the player subbed off I'd have run down the tunnel and chinned him

[ayjaydee]

Thought the ref was very poor. Plot lost completely when having booked Kachunga for dissent he then bottled the second yellow for abuse towards the lino, instead calling the skipper over to calm the player down.
The Gunter one was also a bit IF he deemed it a foul then Gunts had to go.

Sorry, I'll use my crystal ball to scry the game next time.

Maybe you should ban match threads?
