SPORT ADIL’S FIGHTING FIT LIONS PRIDE
YORKSHIRE STAR FINALLY OVER INJURY /PAGE 37 DELIGHTED CORBERAN SAYS TOWN WERE WORTHY WINNERS AGAINST MILLWALL
HUDDERSFIELD boss Carlos Corberan claims his side were the only team that looked like winning as he watched them beat Millwall 1-0 to climb into the top six at the John Smith’s Stadium.
In a game which was dominated mostly by the home side, they managed to edge out the Lions 1-0 to make it four games unbeaten in front of their own supporters.
The Terriers came closest in the first half as Danny Ward blasted an effort over the bar from 10 yards out.
The second half was played out to a similar fashion as Bartosz Bialkowski made several saves to keep the away side in the game.
Huddersfield got their winner on 81 minutes when Jonathan Hogg nodded in from a Sorba Thomas corner.
Town boss Corberan said: “There was only one team today, for me, that deserved the three points and that was Huddersfield.
“After 15 minutes the team started to find free space in the middle of the pitch that allowed us to be more aggressive in attack.
“I think the team created enough chances today to score a goal and it arrived in a set-piece situation.
“We know Hogg is a special player for the club, so he has been one of the most important players even before I arrived at the club.
“He has the mentality to attack this type of situation and usually the type of player that we think can impact on these types of free-kicks and deliveries.”
Thomas grabbed his eighth assist of the season by delivering the cross for the goal and is the top provider in the
Championship this season.
“I watched more positive things than the delivery from
Thomas in today’s game,” said Corberan.
“It’s true that some of the deliveries were not in the level that he has but for me he had a very good game because he was giving a lot of options to attack, he was defending as a full-back and attacking as a winger and we know this is not easy.”
Gary Rowett saw his
Millwall side lose away from home in the league for the first time since their 2-1 defeat at Cardiff in August.
