Contrary to most on here, I actually thought we were more positive yesterday and much better than the previous 2 games. Don't get me wrong, 1 shot in the 1st half at home (granted we scored from it) is not good enough. We did try to pass a little more but our end product was lacking again.

Millwall look a relegation side to be honest and if we had been more positive in the 2nd half, we would have won by more. As usual though, Town love the 'hearts in mouth' football towards the end of the game! Is it some sort of adrenaline rush/buzz kind of thing?!

Holt did ok when he came on but let's not getting too carried away with him. He's 33 and hardly played much football over the last couple of seasons. He still looks like he's carrying too much timber in order to have a influence for the whole game. Think Powell was right to leave him on the bench to start with.

I was happy with the win, which was much overdue! 2 tough, tough games coming up and I think we might be lucky to pick up a point over these 2 games. Still, we are not expected to beat them given our position are we?! Sad

Good to see that Wolves defence can wobble a bit with today's result. They been tighter than a ducks arse until today. Be delighted with any points from the next two games.

I thought Holloway was his usual ungracious self. I'm sure he said that they couldn't get a result at Huddersfield. Like if they can't get one here they won't get one anywhere.

He said he'd never experienced an atmosphere at Huddersfield as flat as it was yesterday.

At half time Wakey was complaining how boring Town's play was. I said I'll take boring every week if we win. And hey, we won! At the time, I thought the pen decision was as clear-cut as anything, but on the Football League Show it looked a bit soft. Mind you, we have had so many stone-wall penalty appeals turned down this season, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. And I can't even remember when we last had a penalty taker you could be confident would score them... it's nice.

We were much better in the second half and with Scanz and Holt we really looked like we could do something. As for the boring bit - Powell has clearly identified that our leaky defence needs a lot of shoring up, and he's right. Mind you, playing a whole team of defenders didn't seem to help when you look at their goal and how easy it was for them.

Holt was a real tonic for the jaded supporter when he came on. Just what we need to play up front with Wells. Don't know if he can last a whole game or not but he's going to be very valuable to us if he can.

Is Peltier turning into as bad a sick-note as Vaughan?

It can't be as boring as it was under Mr Boring himself, Mark Robins, to be honest we could do with some results at the minute.
