Match report: Town 1 - 1 Bristol Rovers

Oct 20 2008 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Roberts had a 15th-minute shot deflected for a corner, then sent an audacious 17th-minute lob well wide after Phillips came out of his area to head clear from Dickinson.

Jones’ fluffed header followed neat play by Dickinson, who picked out Roberts for a good delivery from the left.

But Bristol were by now looking the sharper of the two sides in attack.

Goodwin did well to head clear David Pipe’s 22nd-minute cross under pressure from Jeff Hughes, then Joe Skarz produced a vital block as the ball was pumped back in.

Then in the 28th minute, Glennon and Goodwin combined to thwart Darryl Duffy as he ran onto Craig Disley’s diagonal through ball.

Lambert headed over from close range from Pipe’s cross after firing first a 29th-minute free-kick, then the rebound, into the Town wall.

Then, on 33 minutes, Glennon blocked with his legs from Hughes after Chris Lines opened up the home defence.
