That was a real tough test. Huddersfield were a well set up team, organised well in defence and quick on the break. I thought it was heading for a nil nil. I'm so pleased for Luke Amos, he deserved to get the match winner after the year he's had.

Really? I thought that was one of our easier wins. Huddersfield didn't press well and didn't commit men to their counter.

Yeah, I agree with that. The first 20 mins or so they looked well organised, had plenty of bodies behind the ball and looked like they would cause problems on the break. But it didn’t turn out like that. They haven’t really got the mobility to get the ball forward onto runners and that cost them. Sitting deep and defending well is fine, but all those bodies behind the ball couldn’t then get upfield fast enough to attack.

It helped that they tried to get at us through the middle more than down the wings. We might’ve had more problems had they had some width as well as more pace.

Yeah, turned out to be less of a worry than the opening exchanges suggested.
 
In no way was that an easy win, but I guess we all see the game differently.

They just say back and it was wave and wave of attack from us from the 20th minute onwards. We dominated the ball, had a lot more shots, and more decent chances. No game in the championship is outright 'easy' but I'd say that was easier than most teams I've seen us up against.

You must've been far more relaxed than me during the game then. Maybe your a glass half full and I'm a glass half empty when it comes to watching the R's. Rarely am I comfortable watching us. I wished I had your disposition.
