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.

I've not mentioned a single thing about specifics today as I didn't see it so won't. But for a goalkeeper his position is piss poor overall. Absolutely nobody can pull him on his distribution, but his positioning is shocking

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.

Once you're on the wrong side of Howden, you stay there no matter what. <laugh>
 
From the uddersfield forum, one of many:

“Furious at them in truth, I've ended up walking home (about 5 miles) to work out my annoyance. Defend one sodding set piece for a matter of sodding seconds, and we don't do it. Ignore the softness of the free-kick. We just needed to stand up for five sodding seconds and clear our lines against a side that we should have ****ing beaten, never mind got a draw. Just the same as the first, don't deal with a simple ball into the box. And we concede two goals against a side that, hitting the post aside, offered sod all threat after the 7th minute. They came to ****house a win, and they did. Utterly undeserved, but there we have it. Shot ourselves in the foot against bang average opposition.

I hate teams like Hull. All that talent and they can be distilled into a phrase better associated with submarine captains in the Battle of the Atlantic. Had they tried to play some football rather than suck the life out of the game, I'd probably be far less pissed off at losing to them, because hey. That's football. Win some and lose some. But I don't go to football to watch a spineless, bottleless set of officials allow a team of any colours to just kill it. I get why they do it. I don't actually blame them. They've not been in great form on the road - or at all - and want to win at all costs. I wouldn't send a team out like Rosenior did. I'd prefer it if Town didn't do it either. But three points justifies it, doesn't it? Fact is if the boot is on the other foot I probably have a moment of reflection after the game that I don't want to see that sort of thing, but at the time I enjoy three points. Because I'm a football fan and for God's sake I'm allowed to be a hypocrite when it comes to a Saturday afternoon. Although I'll also say this - a win bought through cheating is tainted, and I wouldn't want us to stoop to cheating to win. I don't mind a Town player being booked for diving - we should be better than that.”
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.

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.
