Opposition view: Cobblers 'made it really difficult for us,' admits Huddersfield boss

Joe Low’s header in first half stoppage-time broke the away side's admirable resistance at the Accu Stadium before Bojan Radulovic rubber-stamped a third successive win late on as Huddersfield moved up to fifth in the League One table.

"I thought we pushed for that first goal from minute one of the first half to minute 52 or whatever it was,” said Grant. “It’s difficult when you have a side that is really specific in how they are going to stop you from doing that.

"For the most part, I thought Northampton did a good job of that and full credit to them because they made it really difficult for us, but we did create chances in the first half and there was a frustration from me that we did’t execute some of those.

"But I love the fact that the group had that strong belief and trust to keep pushing and keep going and the quality was there for that first goal. The second half played out differently but we created numerous chances and I’m delighted we got the second one because I would have been frustrated had that game finished 1-0.

"I loved the professional feel about the performance and the business-like attitude we had. I could sense a real conviction about the group before the game and I was really happy with how the players approached it. It’s an important win and an important step for us because it’s been a big challenge for us to string results together and that’s three in a row.”
