If I told you that Huddersfield Town featured in a game were a goalkeeper mistake and a spectacular own goal decided the game you would be forgiven for thinking Town had another error-riddled outing. Thankfully it was Watford who made these mistakes and we had the tenacity and team-spirit to cling onto a two-goal lead that was so generously gifted to us in our final game before Christmas.

There was a lot more than just good fortune that contributed to Huddersfield Town running out victors over a team that clearly had superior individuals but couldn’t quite come together to produce a convincing attacking display.

In no particular order, here are a few of my thoughts on the game…

A hard grafting performance

The Carlos Corberán era has seen Town trying to play attacking and attractive football but there’s a foundation of hard defensive work to build a platform from which to attack. While we might didn’t always play our most fluent attacking football, this game showed a huge quantity of grit and determination to get the result over the line.

Hard work has always been the attribute that Town fans most value in our team and games like this, though attritional at times, are exactly the kind of display more fans want to see. While rampaging runs and silky skills are nice to see, there’s a certain kind of beauty in watching Jonathan Hogg hacking away at an opponent’s ankle to cut them down to size and this was that kind of performance.

Watford had periods of dominance during which we had to rely on some last-ditch interventions and Ryan Schofield bailed us out on more than one occasion. But we actually managed to push back Watford for long spells with our hard-pressing defensive work. Fraizer Campbell was notable for the way he gave Watford’s back line an awful afternoon and his example was followed by the ten players behind him, who squeezed every inch of space they could and restricted the opportunities for Watford to force their way back into the game.

While this wasn’t pretty to watch at times, I was proud of how the team fought collectively and this result lays down a marker for the rest of the season. I think the Millwall game was our best attacking display so far under Corberán but this game was our best performance off the ball. To say it came at the end of a five-week period of double game weeks makes it all the more impressive that we kept running and running for so long.

The dark arts

While hard graft was a part of this victory, I also liked to see how we used what is often euphemistically called “game management” to see out the game. Fraizer Campbell provided a good example of this by entering into an exchange of handbags at dawn in the ninety-second minute of the game, happy to run down the clock in a verbal exchange rather than having to defend long balls into the box. There were similar examples of Town players drawing fouls, messing about at throw ins and generally making the game bitty and frustrating for Watford.

Ryan Schofield’s booking in the twenty first minute for time wasting showed that he’s still got a bit to learn about how far you push things (though he was slightly let down by his teammates not doing what he asked). Thankfully he had the common sense to not push his luck further and risk a second booking, instead he relied on his teammates to find little opportunities to disrupt the game and run down the clock.

Earlier in the season we had a spell where we threw away a few leads and allowed opponents to run rampant over us during their dominant spells. Yesterday showed a developing maturity among the squad, where we knew to break up the play and slow the flow of the game when things weren’t going our way.

I wouldn’t want to see Town doing this kind of thing in every game but the situation yesterday, where we had a two-goal lead to defend for a long period of the game, was the right time to look to kill the game off a bit and stop the opposition from playing.

Man of the Match: An Mbenza masterclass

Several other players could be given the man of the match award, Campbell and Schofield most prominent among them, but Mbenza gets the nod from me. It was his relentless pressing that forced Foster’s error and his whipped corner led to the own goal. That wasn’t all he contributed though as he ran his socks off to stretch Watford on the break and toyed with them in possession when we tried to break down their defence.

The confidence Mbenza is showing is making him a key player for Town and since Koroma’s injury he’s taking even more responsibility to be our main creative force. That desire to get on the ball and play is exciting to watch and he’s done a great job of winning over Town fans in the last few months.

If it was my choice I’d have probably binned off Mbenza in the summer after his struggles under previous managers but I’m happy to eat humble pie and say he’s completely transformed his Huddersfield Town career. Now he just needs to share his secrets with Pritchard and Diakhaby to help them rehabilitate themselves too.

Five points off the playoffs

I don’t like myself for doing it but it’s hard not to look at the table after a win like this and quietly wonder to myself about what might be possible. We currently lie five points from Middlesbrough who are sixth in the table, which is not that far away when you consider all those games where we lost from winning positions.

My honest opinion is that this season’s only ambition should be to avoid relegation and if we can avoid the scrap to go down entirely with a mid-tale finish then we’ve done far better than most fans predicted at the start of the season. But there’s a weasel part of my brain that always wants a bit more and it’s hard not to start day dreaming of what could be possible with a bit of investment in the upcoming transfer window.

While fans have consistently been told the cupboards are bare when it comes to the transfer kitty, if we were to shake loose a bit of cash for a handful of players that can come straight into the first team then who knows where this season might end? Promotion isn’t likely but it’s not impossible either.

While another playoff adventure would be an excellent end to the season, realistically, promotion to the Premier League would be too soon for us and it’s hard to see anything but another punishing season of defeats coming week-after-week if we went up this year. I’d much prefer to see Carlos given more time to develop his philosophy and his squad so we can build a team capable of competing in the Premier League rather than being whipping boys for a year.
