KEEPER GAFFE SINKS TOWN

HUDDERSFIELD boss Michael Duff questioned his players’ mentality after goalkeeper Chris Maxwell’s bloomer handed NonLeague Tamworth a shock win.

Tom Tonks’ spectacular throw-in caused chaos in the Terriers’ box and Maxwell could only parry into his own net at the end of the first half.

Duff blasted: “Not good enough. Outran, outfought, outbattled, beaten by a better team in the end.

“Started the game really poorly, concede a goal from the obvious threat, no quality in our play, every cross went in the keeper’s hands.

“We’ll be all over the papers for all the wrong reasons.

“I said to the players in the meeting room make sure your heads are right and they clearly weren’t.

“There’s no excuses. We’ve played three different formations, we’ve had a lot of the ball, but not sure the keeper has made enough saves, and if we’d have started the game like we did from the 80th minute onwards we’d have been all right, but we didn’t.”
