Andy gets nod!

Sep 16 2005 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

TOWN go into their biggest battle of the season against bruising Brentford tomorrow with Andy Booth ready to add powerful back-up to the Galpharm gameplan (3.00).

The 31-year-old fans' favourite has come through a Reserve match and two tough training sessions this week after spending a month sidelined by a hamstring injury.

If he comes through today's full squad workout, manager Peter Jackson may well include Booth on the bench to provide an aerial option if needed against a tough Brentford team he rates highly.

"If Andy is feeling okay then he will be involved in the squad," confirmed Jackson, whose team are in the LDV Vans Trophy first round draw at 9.30am tomorrow (Sky Sports' Soccer A.M).

"Brentford are a big, physical side who get the ball forward quickly and put you under pressure, so it's a big test for us.

"I've told the lads that if they don't know tomorrow morning when they wake up that they are in for a battle, they soon will do in the afternoon.

"The most important thing tomorrow is that we compete with Brentford and, when we've got the ball, we play and dictate the game to them."

Jackson warns Brentford are strong at set pieces.

"Martin Allen has got them well organised as a unit and they play to their strengths, so we have to get among them and play our own football," added Jackson, who is hoping for another 14,000-strong Galpharm crowd.
