Huddersfield Town's Skarz: We need to stay focused

Nov 18 2008 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

JOE SKARZ says it’s crucial Town remain fully focused on Saturday’s trip to Brighton if they are to make their memorable win at Leeds a turning point for the campaign.

Gerry Murphy’s charges will head for the South coast 14th in the table and chasing three straight League I wins for the first time since the Irishman was in temporary charge at the end of last season.

Skarz, below, who made his 50th start in the 2-1 Elland Road triumph, when he scored his first senior goal, and will tot up a 60th Town appearance in all if selected at Brighton, admitted: “The Leeds match was great, but the win will be far more significant if we can now build on it.

“We’ve got a long trip to Brighton then home matches against Leyton Orient (a week tonight) and Walsall (Saturday, December 6).

“Getting three points down South would provide a great lift before Orient, and we’ve got to be looking at taking six points from six.
