Clayton Delighted With Win Over Owls

Adam Clayton put the game beyond Sheffield Wednesday last night when he slotted home calmly from the penalty spot to take Huddersfield two goal clear of the Owls and the midfielder was delighted to bring all three points back to West Yorkshire. Clayton shoved Vaughan to one side to take control of the penalty spot kick and he didn't disappoint the Town faithful:

"The lads are buzzing to get the win in a local derby. The changing room is bouncing. It was a good win as well. We had to dig in and do what was needed. To score two goals so early on was a perfect start and I thought it was just what we deserved. I think the opening half hour could have been the best we've played. Jack did well for the penalty and I'm delighted Novak got the header, because he's been threatening to do that for ages – he's banging them in during training. He's been on fire and hopefully that will get him started, because he can get some goals."

The Owls never gave up even after conceding twice in the early stages of the game & Clayton had to battle hard in the middle for Huddersfield Town;

"I think they are the biggest team I've ever seen; I realised in the tunnel before the game that the left back playing against me was a big one! They can play a bit too though – they have some good players – and I think they will do quite well in the League. They put us under a lot of pressure, but we got the win."

Clayton scored Huddersfield's third goal from the penalty spot & he joked in his interview about being the best spot taker at the club as Simon Grayson walked past the midfielder;

"The Gaffer has said I'm the best penalty taker at the Club, so I had to get on it. I knew I wanted the penalty after not taking the one at Ipswich, so I made sure I got on it."

Clayton nearly was forced off in the first half as he received lengthy treatment from Town's physio but he battled on and described what actually happened after the game;

"It was a weird sensation; I kind of lost my centre of gravity. I can't describe it any better than that, only to say that I didn't know what was going on! Thankfully it passed and hopefully it doesn't come back!"

The terriers are now unbeaten in five but face yet another tough challenge as they travel to Bloomfield Road to take on Blackpool on Monday night;  

"We're unbeaten in five and I think we were unlucky to lose at Cardiff before that too. We're doing well and we want to keep it going. We're looking forward to every game in this League. It's new for some of our lads and they're excited to play in these games – that's why you get promoted. The expectations on us aren't as big as some other clubs and we are really enjoying ourselves."

Clayton finished off his post mact interview by thanking all the travelling fans for being the 12th man at Hillsborough;

"We had some brilliant support tonight – our fans really got behind us. They do in every game though."
