HT website says Thorrington "is set to come into contention" for a place in the squad, whatever that means. Probably he'll be on the subs bench. Both club sites have audio, but not for free.
Huddersfield Examiner reports Thorrington on subs bench. Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but HT just gave away their team captain on a free transfer (to save on wages). Clearly, the club is in deep.
Sky's starting line-up has Thorrington on the bench. Huddersfield Town start: P Senior, A Moses, N Brown, E Youds, K Sharp, C Holland, K Irons, D Mattis, M Smith, A Booth, J Stead Subs: J Thorrington, J Worthington, T Heary, S Baldry, A Jeffery
0-0 at the half. No goals, no cards, no subs. Kind of makes following it on skysports.com even more bland than usual.
Huddersfield is still on the bottom of the table. Consecutive 1-0 victories may give Wadsworth some breathing space as well.
Fun with relegation: 15 Notts County 30 6 -6 31 16 Peterborough United 30 7 -8 31 17 Port Vale 28 8 -10 31 18 Stockport 30 8 -11 30 19 Northampton Town 30 8 -20 30 20 Barnsley 29 7 -13 29 ----------------------------------------- 21 Mansfield Town 30 8 -19 29 22 Colchester United 29 6 -13 28 23 Cheltenham Town 29 6 -14 28 24 Huddersfield Town 29 7 -14 28 (GP, Wins, GD, Pts.)
That does not look to fun for Huddersfield. Atleast they have a game in hand on a couple of teams ahead of them.
It was a Thorrington cross that was handled leading to the penalty. No other mentions of John in the match report. He got some time and made a positive contribution leading to a much needed 3 points. That can't be bad.
Not only was he a starter, he was possibly the best player last year. I don't know what the fukk happened, but his world has been turned upside down.
