A brave lad, diving low into oppos flying legs. Shows major dedication and focus on desire to win. Great stuff.
I always felt it might be a tough game, as they have turned their season round, and so it proved to be. We started well and controlled the game until Morton had to go off, without Seri and then Morton we didn't have players capably of confidently receiving the ball short, so for the more part Allsop went long. I think this proved in some ways why Liam prefers to play out from the back. Going long for the most part you give away possession and the ball keeps coming back, as it did in the 2nd half. For the most part we handled comfortably what they had to offer, and if Jaden's attempt was a goal then we would have come away with a clean sheet and a 2-0 win. As it turned out, injury time saw more goal action that most of the 90 minutes before it. Great credit to the boys for not giving up when they equalised and having a go to get back in front, which with the help of superman Greaves we did. Greave's was excellent all game and what a captain's performance. Jones also was very good, had a couple of iffy moments, but overall the 2 handled what they had to throw at us. Omur was class when he came on, and he looks some player, Zaroury is still not producing what I expected from him, though I thought Carvalho had a better game and is slowly finding his feet. Why the Championship is one of the best leagues around, teams at the bottom can cause teams at the top all sorts of problems, and there is no easy game. We seem to have found a way of crafting wins even though we are not playing out best. We miss Seri, and hopefully get him and Morton in midfield you will see more control of the ball back again. 4 wins out of 5 games is a good return, let's hope we can put on a performance against Southampton and West Brom to keep the momentum going. P.S. For them, Thomas as we already knew is a good player, was impressed with Burgzorg when he came on.
You’re taking a pop at Allsop on a match day thread, in a match you didn’t see? He’s getting a decent amount of MotM votes, as he did in the last game, when you also took a pop. Allsop’s been great for us this season and deserves credit for the job he’s doing.
It obviously wasn’t a classic yesterday, we lost control of the midfield when Morton went off, but it was a great end to the game. A bit rich for Huddersfield to be complaining about tactics, they came to ours with an appalling display of anti-football. **** ‘em.
Just remind this sour faced loser they had two Sodjes playing for them not so long back. Two of the most cynical 'footballers' I have seen for a long time #stuartelliotoutformonths.
I don't think it's been mentioned but Omur's play in the lead-up to Philogene's chance was top too. A really good cameo in tough circumstances.
Great 3 points, we was around the old town pubs, comes on the tv 1.1 92 minute and then we win it , big cheer in the pub, woke up with a big happy headache UTT.
Tough game yesterday but we got over the line,mainly due to a fantastic performance by Captain courageous.At times we were off it and they were scrapping for every ball and cutting through our midfield with relative ease but we got there in the end and grabbed a valuable 3 points. Big shout out to the travelling masses,made a huge difference. Job done, UTT!!
Re- Allsop getting some stick on here. I'm a bit on the fence - he makes some great saves, but he has a mistake in him. That said, we don't know if Pandur is any better. To give a bit of a wider context (and this does not excuse the errors Allsop has made) he seems to be an average championship keeper in as much as the mistakes he makes - or similar ones - are also being made by other keepers. 2 examples from yesterday - one from our game and one from the B'ham v Sunlan game, which I saw the goals from on EFL last night. For Greaves' 1st goal, their keeper seemed to get a strong hand to the ball, but it still went in. I reckon he will feel he should have saved that - and I'd be surprised if Hudders fans didn't think so. In the Birmingham game - for their winner, surely the Sunlan keeper has to be brave and go down where the boots are flying? Instead he turns his head away from the ball and it goes in.
