    That's what the 'experts' insisted was going to happen. Yet this fearsome predator was substituted at half time.

    I've just read the Huddersfield predictions thread and of those that were brave enough to predict an outcome there's not too many that said Alfie would rip us a new one. Plenty that thought we would struggle though.

    Went down after 1st minute - surprised he carried on. Glad he went off as he usually scores against us

    He told Yorkshire Post taking him off was tactical.

    I was beginning to think we'd be up against Real Madrid & Cristiano Ronaldo in his pomp!

    Yep, I was one fearing the worst as well. I thought they would attack us from the off and take an early lead. Glad I was wrong, as I wanted to be wrong!
