Match report: Huddersfield Town 2 - 2 Cheltenham Town

Three minutes later Cheltenham had to reshuffle as they lost defender Lee Ridley through injury – his replacement Shane Duff would only last 19 minutes as he too was hurt.

But in between the Robins managed to bag a second goal when on 18 minutes a wayward Michael Collins pass allowed Cheltenham to break quickly and free Elvis Hammond, who picked his way round Andy Butler’s attempted challenge before finishing smartly.

Less than 20 minutes on the clock and Town could see the game running away from them.

At least Clark acted quickly to change the pattern as he threw on Danny Cadamarteri for Lukas Jutkiewicz – the Everton youngster being left in no doubt as to the merits of his performance as the catcalls rang from the terraces.

Just to add to the teenager’s embarrassment his replacement almost instantly changed the pattern of the game.

With the pace to push the Robins’ rearguard back Cadamarteri began to create space and he exploited one of those openings on 40 minutes as Jim Goodwin’s pass allowed Gary Roberts to get the ball across goal and the substitute volleyed in.

The tide was already turning in the second half before Cheltenham midfielder Josh Low saw red on 59 minutes.
