Goals from Poul Hubertz and Jason Crowe gave the Cobblers only their second away win of the campaign this afternoon as we came from a goal behind at half-time to record our first ever win at the Galpharm Stadium.
Brett Johnson made a rare start at the Galpharm Stadium as the Cobblers set up in a 5-3-2 formation. Poul Hubertz partnered Andy Kirk up front and Dean Bowditch dropped to bench. Ryan Gilligan returned to the starting line-up in place of the Ipswich loan man.
Brett Johnson had the first effort on goal as his header from a Daniel Jones free kick was well saved by home keeper Matt Glennon. The home side’s first real attempt on goal came from Andy Booth but his shot on the turn went wide of Mark Bunn’s goal.
Andy Kirk had a good chance mid-way through the first half following a goalmouth scramble but his shot was well blocked by Robbie Williams.
Huddersfield came back strong and had a couple of good chances at the other end. Liam Dolman had to be at his best to produce a last ditch tackle to deny Phil Jevons before Robbie William’s shot was well saved by Mark Bunn.
The home side were in front deep into injury time of the first half as Booth headed home at the back post from a corner and sent the Cobblers into half-time a goal down.
The Cobblers began the second half well and Brad Johnson headed over the bar from a Jason Crowe cross before Kirk shot straight at Glennon. Andy Booth could have doubled his tally at the other end but his long range sailed wide.
Minutes later and we had a glorious chance to equalise and but for the cross bar and a goal line clearance would have been level. Crowe had his shot saved before Kirk’s follow up smashed the bar and Danny Schofield cleared the ball off the line!
Brad Johnson forced a corner in our next attack and finally the Cobblers had a leveller. Brett Johnson headed towards goal and Poul Hubertz knocked the ball in on the goal line to give us a well-deserved equaliser.
With five minutes to go, The Cobblers had the winner as Hubertz turned provider with a cross that was met by Jason Crowe at the far post to finish and suddenly we had a lead to hold on to.
A late, late corner threatened to end our hopes of taking home the points as keeper Glennon came up for it but the Cobblers defended it and held on to record a fine victory in our final game of 2007.
