Review
Our first home game after the Coronavirus break and played behind closed doors with the cardboard cutouts. We started lively with Sammy Ameobi hitting the post in the 3rd minute but then let Huddersfield back into the game. However, Lewis Grabban's volleyed goal from a Worrall cross on the 43rd minute was superb. He added a second straight from the second half kick off before Ryan Yates got a foot to a Lolley corner with 5 minutes to go. Duhaney was sent off for a malicious tackle with one minute to go, and then Huddersfield's consolation goal was a very harsh penalty decision in injury time.

Stats:
The first time we've played a game on June 28th.
Due to coronavirus, the game was played behind closed doors so the official attendance was zero
