Huddersfield Town Vs Sheff Utd Full Time

A late smash and grab victory gave an undeserved passage into the third round of the Carling cup for the visitors.

Huddersfield made several changes from the horror show at the weekend, including Keigan Parker, Clarke and Beckett all getting starting berths.

Sheffield United also made seven changes from their weekend victory at Blackpool.

Former Terrier Jon Stead was given a start and failed to deliver anything in the first half and did not re-appear after the interval, he did recieve a warm welcome from the Galpharm crowd.

Town looked the better team throughout the game bossing possesion and chances.

Mike Flynn scored a fantastic goal, that had his doubters smiling, it also looked likely to be the winner until the 80th minute.

With Blackwell throwing on strikers to rescue the game and Stan going for the defensive option proved costly as united through first Henderson and then home town boy Naughton rescued the tie for the blades.

Town missed a glut of chances, with a much improved, Nathan Clarke missing two sitters from around 8 yards.

Amazingly N Miller had a pretty decent game,despite a few strange decisions, and managed not to send any one off!

Good luck to Sheff Utd in the next round, if they play like that again though it will be difficult to see them progressing as tonight lady luck definately smiled upon them.

Stan Ternent
After the match Stan told the clubs official site

‘I thought we performed extremely well and had a really good go but the breaks are not going for us at the moment. If I’m going to be critical, the only thing we need to do is to be more clinical as we had a number of opportunities to get the second goal. We need to put a bit more quality on the end of things to kill games. That is why goal scorers, who put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis, cost more than anybody else.
‘I’m very happy with them, but extremely disappointed for them as well because I know they deserved more out of the game.

and on Keigan Parkers first start in a town shirt he added

‘Keigan is lively, but he has to learn to play with people around him in order to get better than he is. He’s a dangerous customer.’
