Match report: Huddersfield Town 1 - 0 Leeds United

And they weren’t helped when Roberts, their fastest remaining player, was forced off in the 74th minute nursing a groin strain.

Town were robbed of two valuable outlets, but the extra workload was accepted by a solid back four who will have been delighted by this clean sheet.

As well as scoring the key goal, Clarke was dominant in his battle with Argentinian striker Luciano Becchio while Andy Butler worked hard to contain Leeds’ on-loan Bristol City forward Lee Trundle, who so often tested Town in his Swansea days.

Andy Holdsworth was cool, calm and collected throughout as he worked to limit the impact of the talented Robinson, and Robbie Williams stuck to his task against Snodgrass.

No wonder Lee Clark classed himself as a “proud manager”.

Now let’s hope Town can continue their winning ways in the less frenetic atmosphere of Crewe on Saturday.
