Huddersfield Town 1 v Charlton Athletic 1

Best draw of the season today at the Galpharm Stadium. The point keeps Huddersfield fully six points away in seventh and gives us hope of the same at least in Milton Keynes next week.


The fact that the point was won without Nicky Bailey makes it all the more remarkable. I only managed to pick up the second-half but it sounded like we were competing despite going behind. Darren Randolph kept his place between the sticks and Scott Wagstaff came in for Lloyd Sam. Kyel Reid played left and Nicky Forster got his first start alongside Mooney. The Huddersfield lead only lasted five minutes before Kyel Reid drilled a volley low and hard across the keeper for the leveller. There was little to worry about after that and we played the game out relatively easily.


As predicted, Millwall thumped Stockport and have now caught Leeds on points. Hard to stomach it may be, but we just need to grin and bear it and hope we get an opportunity through the play-offs. With Palace losing at home yet again and their relegation rivals winning, they find themselves an amazing four points adrift having played a game more. What's more, they travel to Watford for a six pointer in the week. South London's footballing order may be about to change once again. Who's to say we couldn't yet be restored as Top Dog next season?
