Worcester City 0, Huddersfield Town 1

Dec 5 2005 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

"I can't fault our effort, but we lacked a little bit of discipline in our shape and that cost us a goal.

"We also lacked a little bit of quality when playing against 10 men.

"We should have moved the ball further out wide to stretch Huddersfield and create openings.

"We created half a dozen decent chances, but not as many as we should have done."

Worcester's first opportunity came in only the second minute, with Rachubka smothering the ball at the base of his right-hand post as Chris Smith shot from a cross by right-back Rob Warner, who was a key contributor to many of his side's attacking forays.

When Schofield eventually took the free-kick after his first booking (the referee later cautioned Jon Worthington and Danny Adams and four Worcester men), Andy Booth and Gary Taylor-Fletcher had shots blocked then saved respectively.

Then, on 12 minutes, Booth brought a fine save from Danny McDonnell with a close-range header from a Mark Hudson free-kick.

Andy Holdsworth produced a timely clearance as Worcester responded with a teasing Nick Colley cross.

Then, on 27 minutes, Graham Hyde, an FA Cup finalist with Sheffield Wednesday in 1993, had a shot blocked by Clarke.
