Swansea v Huddersfield

[jackaway]

Swansea v Huddersfield Sat 2 Dec 15:00
Our opponents today are Huddersfield Town, who won 1-2 at Sunderland on Wednesday night.
Travelling is a bit tough for them this week -
Huddersfield to Sunderland return 115 x 2 = 230 road miles
Huddersfield to Swansea return 213 x 2 = 426 road miles
The team didn’t get back from Sunderland until the early hours of Thursday morning after Wednesday night’s fixture, then Friday travelled to Swansea for Saturday’s fixture.
Managed by Darren Moore since September and not doing very well so far, 11 matches, 2 wins and 9 goals.
They are only one point behind us in 21st place, so a win is crucial for us this afternoon to halt the slide in this bottom of the table clash.
News yesterday was that our injured Newcastle loanee, right-back Harrison Ashby has ended his stint with us and returned to his parent club, freeing up a slot to bring in another loan player.
The Swans, after conceding 5 goals in the last two matches need to sort out their defence if we are to get the three points today. Our home form is dire, with only a two wins all season. The way Leeds ran through us at will second-half on Wednesday night was not a nice watch.

Most agreed this was a must win, after all if we can’t win at home to teams below us when will we ever win.
Disastrous start an own goal by Cabango after Grimes was dispossessed resulting in a breakaway. Cabango tried to block the cross and sliced the ball into the net. The Terriers shut shop and relied on breakaways from defence after that and we had no answer to it.
We were better second-half, four subs and changed to a back three, created more chances but just couldn’t break through their 10 man wall.
That is until the last minutes of overtime, finally Paterson laying on the assist for Patino to fire home.

Here’s the highlights boys, so many chances, how did we not score until added time?
