Two great goals today, well worth a look at the video clips but they don't tell the full story.
Great to see Ramsdale in goal although he had little to do except pick the ball out of his own net. Played with Wilson and Semple at Center Back and Bennet and Kelly at full backs although why we do not play with three Center Backs as is the norm with the first team does surprise me a bit. Wilson and Semple both had excellent games and it was difficult to pick out the first team squad player. The youngsters heading gets stronger and stronger every time I see him.
Our mid field of Reed, Scougal, Brooks,and a new player, were a bit below their usual high activity and our forwards McNulty and Wright were having to work hard against a strong Huddersfield side. We did shade the first 45 and nil nil was Flattering to the visitors.
Early in the second half after a bit of ping pong in our box the visitors took the lead and for a time it looked like we would never score but a formation change with Slater being introduced and Brooks being pushed up resulted in a fine goal. Now I am a big fan of Brooks, his long stride and control are very unusual but effective and when he turned his man at the edge of the box his right foot curler to the left side of the goal was a delight and this was followed by a great strike from McNulty that was fit to win any game.
Just to keep us interested Reed was given a red card not sure why but it upset the ref but even with ten men United safely saw out the game
So it's of to Hull on Saturday be interesting to see the team sheet as our first team will rightly take priority but if we again rely on the youngsters I know they will not let us down
The Hull game will take place immediately after they play a Premier fixture and their supporters are encouraged to stay and watch the Reserves. United note could we try this ?

Thanks to those who put these reports on here; it is always good to read them.
