Having beaten Walsall 5-1 three days earlier, I was more than a little anxious that we had spent our goal-scoring capital and the coffers would be empty. Huddersfield are going strong and it should have been a hard game. However, Southampton came out the blocks with all guns firing and never took their collective finger off the trigger. Huddersfield were not able to get into their stride and were completely overwhelmed.
Saints looked like a team from a higher division and were completely dominant. The back four were solid and Jose Fonte never looked like letting anything past. The midfield controlled the game breaking up Huddersfield attacks and then creatively distributing the ball to allow a counter-attack to be launched. It was heartening too to see five different scorers which underlines that the whole side is a threat in front of goal.
It was a great atmosphere - if but a little chilly with a freezing breeze flowing in from the sea.
Dare we dream of a place in the play-offs? The goals can be found here for UK viewers.
