[Eddie1363894574]

Rovers deservedly lead at the break in their crucial relegation six-pointer against Huddersfield. Rovers have looked threatening going forward and have caused Huddersfield a number of problems with their crosses and set-pieces and took the lead when Jordan Rhodes grabbed his 25th goal for Rovers.

The match got off to a fast start and both sides looked to press forward. Rovers got the ball wide and the pace of Olsson and King caused Huddersfield considerable trouble. The home side gradually began to win the midfield battle and Jones, Olsson and King all had efforts on goal as Rovers slowly increased the pressure. Williamson and Jones began to control the game and it was from Jones' corner that they eventually broke the deadlock. Dann did well to head the ball back towards goal and Jordan Rhodes, against his former club, hooked the ball home with his back to goal.

The striker had been the target of the Huddersfield supporters for most of the half and he will have no doubt enjoyed scoring a crucial goal against his former club. Rovers kept the pressure up after the goal, but have so far been unable to find a second.

This is a must-win for Bowyer and his side and they will undoubtedly be pleased with the quality of the performance so far.
