Late drama puts Hull City on a high but no need for Huddersfield Town to get too low over 2-1 defeat
The Tigers would be well advised to ride that emotion, the Terriers to try their best to put it to one side.
Liam Rosenior’s side won, for the fourth time in five matches, and at this stage of the season that will do, no further questions. A coach who usually likes to emphasise performances over results dropped the mask as he vigorously celebrated winning ugly with the away fans.
It stung Huddersfield to have the deserved draw Jack Rudoni looked to have earnt snatched away but Jon Worthington’s four-match caretaker stint has added more than just points, it has brought back pride too. That is what they need to hold onto, not the defining moment Worthington called a “sucker-punch”.
Had Andre Breitenreiter left as soon as Rudoni’s strike hit the net he would have done so happier but from his perch in the directors’ box the coach-in-waiting will have been scanning for things to work with when his visa comes through, and they were not hard to find.
