'If It's Football, It's Vital'

Manager Murphy makes his mark

Huddersfield Town Caretaker Manager Gerry Murphy has handed Robert Page the Captaincy for the remaining six games of the season, starting with tomorrow's game against Doncaster Rovers at the Galpharm Stadium.

He told htafc.com

'The team-sheet might look a bit different on Saturday and we may change the way in which we play. One thing I have changed is the Captaincy. I had a long talk with Jonathan Worthington and I just feel he is a young lad with a lot on his shoulders and given the season he has had we both feel it would be better if he could simply concentrate on his football. Given that, I've handed the Captaincy for the remaining games to Robert Page.

'Robert Page is a very vocal and experienced player who pulls people around him. He has been doing it on the training ground all week. I've overseen Jonathan's career ever since he joined the Academy at a very young age and I know how he plays; the Jon we've all seen for the first-team this season is not the one I know. I hope this decision will help him get back to his top level and I also hope that it will show the other players that if decisions have to be made, I am not afraid to make them.'

Murphy has made more sense in two or three comments ive read from him, than Ritchie ever did.

Safe pair of hands is Murphy, unlike Glennon!
Eddie01
Have you been watching the same team as me Eddie01 - Glennon has been by far and away one of our best players this year - name me one other player who has a) only missed 1 game (due to a dodgy sending off) b) played consistently well and c) seems to be the only one talking/shouting on the field??
