While not playing well, and getting some of our new players upto speed and use to playing with each other. Just need to keep grinding out points and keep in touch and then we’ll be in a fantastic position for the run in, when our extra quality players will be firing.

Don't count chickens too far ahead, but we should be looking up, not down as a fan base.

Just seen a fan filmed video from the stands, bang in line behind the Philogene goal. Unfortunately, it is definitely deflected in and an own goal, which is a shame. From the main camera angle it doesn’t even really look like it takes a deflection.

Or fortunate, if it wasn't going in without the deflection

Relief.

I have to say, I was ready to praise us at 1-0 down. The way we fought back and just went at them, that is when we are at our best! 20 shots, 8 on target - that is what I expect from a playoff-chasing side.

Also, I’ve been criticising Carvalho, but he had a better game today. Definitely played with more urgency, which is needed.

I thought apart from a couple of big errors, Zaroury was good again. I continue to be surprised to read criticism about him.

Ohio deserves to start. I liked the way he moved to the ball (not just for the goal) and you could see his determination to impress. As I said before, I do like an underdog.

Well done to Rosenior and the team. This will give us a big boost for Huddersfield and I look forward to going (my second away match this season - first one was Leicester <cool>). UTT.
 
But Ohio had a poor 17 minute cameo in his first ever appearance for us?
Surely there was never any hope? Weird that :emoticon-0138-think

Lovely turnaround, onwards and upwards!

I think this sort of commentary from some on here is a bit odd. Most of us (or at least I know I did) commented on his first appearance but noted/hoped he'd improve as he settled in. Today he still had a poor first touch on him and struggled to get involved, but timed his run perfectly for his goal and was rightly praised for it. Is balanced commentary on players no longer allowed for fear of a 'gotcha'?
 
Don't really care if he was poor or not he got the winner and that was worth him being on.

Absolutely, and no one's slating him (at least not that I've seen). Just not sure why some seem so desperate to be smug after he had a poor first showing.
