Reserves win 3-0 at Huddersfield

A strong reserves team beat Huddersfield Town 3-0 at the Galpharm on Wednesday night.

Wed 8 April 2009
Huddersfield Town Reserves 0-3 Leeds United Reserves
7pm Galpharm Stadium

The Galpharm turned into the funny farm tonight, in what is a first for
Reserve Team football. 170 or so Leeds supporters were segregated from
the home supporters.

Leeds finished on top of the table this evening in what was "bulled up"
to be a 6 pointer match.

Andy Robinson played like a man posessed, or a player wanting a 1st team place.
Grella was out of sorts, but tried.
I would think Bradley Johnson's days are numbered
and a couple of scouts admitted they were watching Prutton in particular.
