First and foremost, don't let the 3 goal comback overshadow what was a very good performance from us. Outclassed them first half apart from the first 10 mins. We are looking a really good side now. We deserved the 2 goal lead and how their keeper wasn't sent off I don't know. Pratley was going around him to tap into an empty net and he was brought down. The keeper didn't even have a yellow card, astonishing. We controlled the first half and didn't look in any danger. I'm still trying to work out how we lost though. I wouldn't say we fell apart, and I wouldn't say Huddersfield bombarded us at all. They had a handful of chances in the 2nd half and scored 3 of them, apart from that Willy didn't have any saves to make, just a few crosses. They had alot of posession but we dealt with most of it easily, while ourselves having chances at the other end. We are by far a better team than Huddersfield and today was one of those days. The referee gave them absolutley EVERYTHING in the 2nd half, and I predicted this at half time. Referee's have such weak personalities. The abuse he got at half time from the home fans made him think he had to give them decisions 2nd half. When the penalty went in we left the ground, totally gutted. I didn't see Trundle's red card so can't comment. There are plenty of positives to take from today. The performance levels have increased massively of late, and I think we are capable of going on a winning run. The players just need to pick themselves up from today's game for Monday, where obviously we must win. I was gutted at first but on reflection in the car on the way back, there is plenty to look forward to. |
Peter Jackson was ordered to the stands for the second time this season but his dismissal inspired Huddersfield to beat Swansea 3-2.
Swansea striker Lee Trundle scored a ninth-minute penalty and then bagged his second two minutes before half-time to put the visitors in charge.
Jackson was left fuming when referee Neil Swarbrick awarded Swansea a throw-in which led to the second goal.
Trundle fired home at the far post and, immediately after the restart, Jackson was sent to the stands.
But Huddersfield skipper Jon Worthington swept home in the 67th minute and, eight minutes later, Pawel Abbott curled a shot beyond Willy Gueret.
In the 90th minute Abbott was pulled down by Marcus Painter and stepped up to fire the penalty winner.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Trundle was given the red card for a suspected elbow.
