I THOUGHT that for 15 minutes in the first half on Saturday Town were simply awesome.

I can't remember a better passage of play in 20 years.

If we can just extend that sort of play to even 30 minutes a game then we'll put two or three past every side we play and can then take the foot off the gas.

The way we were spraying it around would, I believe, have rattled any of the great sides in Europe.

Admittedly they can do it for 60 minutes, but how refreshing that our side can do it as well.

I don't think any other League I side is capable of that.

And a footnote, Nathan Clarke and Pawel Abbott may always get linked to top clubs, but why David Mirfin is never talked about anywhere must be the biggest scouting blunder of all time.

The guy is pure class.

Buy an alarm!

WHAT a fantastic game on Saturday!

Some of the football played by Town in the first half was a joy to watch.

It was good to see Chris Brandon playing on the right, where he and Andy Holdsworth are a major threat.

Can I suggest that Peter Jackson gets an alarm clock for the team to wake them up after the half time break.

Or perhaps they should walk under a cold shower just before they return to the pitch, because we always look half asleep at the beginning of every second half.

Proud of Town

WHAT a sad state Nottingham Forest are in.

They were totally disconnected in the first half and both cynical and thuggish in the second.

Well done to our Town lads for keeping cool in spite of some deliberate provocation.

And well done the referee, eventually, for getting Lester off the pitch.

But are we as good as some people suggest?

In places and at times in the first half, yes, we were superb.

But we do lose concentration and teams in higher divisions will punish that. Also we lack pace, real pace.

But that's for the future.

At the present we have a team the town can be proud of. Well done Peter Jackson and his lads.

Dan the man

I WAS at the match on Saturday and thought the Town lads played brilliantly.

Danny Schofield is fantastic and just what Town need right now.

He is doing us proud.

Let's win away

A FANTASTIC first half performance from Town.

The second half was a tad frustrating in as much as we couldn't grasp the same control.

That said, a satisfying three points against a team literally fighting their way out of the division.

The only thing the referee got wrong was not sending off Jack Lester before the break.

The challenge on Danny Adams maybe deserved only a chat, but the one on Nathan Clarke should have seen him in the book and the one on Paul Rachubka was worth a straight red card in most people's eyes.

We must look to win the next two away League games against teams that are struggling, although I expect the MK Dons game to be the tougher of the two.

I hope we put on a professional display at Worcester and also hope we don't get kicked off the park, although I fear we may be in for some fun and games.

Remembrance

WHY should Huddersfield Town and their fans have remembered George Best on Saturday with a minute's silence?

Apart from him being one of the greatest players of all time, he neither played for Town nor for this country.

The thought that he wasted the precious gift of a liver donation that could have gone to someone else also made me feel uncomfortable about remembering him in this manner.

My mind goes back to just before the Bristol Rovers play-off final 1995, when Joe Walter died.

Joe was the last survivor of Town's championship winning team in the 1920s and he also played about 100 games for Bristol Rovers.

The Football League denied Joe the honour of a minute's silence at that game.

Therefore why should we as a club have held a minute's silence for Best, and at what level of `greatness' should all teams remember a player?

We can get better

WE all love Huddersfield Town to bits.

It's just that some of us believe Thomas Carlyle had it about right when he wrote: "The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none."

Both first halves against Bradford and Forest brought flashes of sheer brilliance - obviously the results of the hard work Peter Jackson talks about on the training ground.

So we're getting there; but there's still a long road ahead, and we all have our ideas about tackling it.

So it's only right that people should discuss and ask questions.

Who can be satisfied that we again fall asleep at half time and give away a goal?

Or fail to polish off nine men?

Peter is possibly on the verge of creating a great young team - if he can keep them together - and he is rightly proud of them. As are we all.

But let's not pretend they, or Peter, can't improve from here.

Back-up needed

IT'S a concern that Town don't seem to have striker back-up on the bench.

That's an area we must seriously look at come the transfer window.
