Match Report: Huddersfield Town 1 - 2 Millwall

Mar 9 2009 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Roberts too was one of Town’s plus points and he looked to be regaining all his old confidence and was very comfortable with the ball at his feet.

The introduction of Andy Booth for Jutkiewicz had also lifted Town’s effort and the striker almost put the home side ahead with a header only to be denied by Andy Frampton’s challenge.

Then came a stunning moment of skill from Town keeper Alex Smithies.

Again a break on the left flank saw Millwall cut through Town’s defence and when the cross was delivered there seemed only one outcome as Lions’ striker Gary Alexander met the ball with a perfect header from eight yards.

Somehow teenage keeper Smithies managed to twist and dive to claw the ball up on to the bar and it rebounded away to safety. A stunning save clean out of the top drawer.

However, then came the injury time breakout and Town were again left to wonder why injury time is proving so costly.
