"That was a massive result today. After two disappointing home results against Watford and Leicester we wanted to bounce back. The tempo wasn't right against Watford or Leicester, although in the majority of games this season it has been. I thought we started the game extremely well, we could have had four or five at half-time. Wolves are a massive team & one of the favourites for the League and we're delighted to get the three points."
"Everyone knows that I got a lot of assists from crosses last season and this season I seem to have switched to winning penalties! I'm delighted to get off the mark with an assist from a cross now too."
A very good performance by Town in the first half meant they were in for a tough test in the second as Wolves looked for a way back into the game. The visitors managed a scrappy goal through Ebanks-Blake before piling on the pressure, trying to force the equaliser. It looked likely that they would get one as they hit the post from a corner but Town were resilient in defence and held on to all three points to the delight of Hunt;
"We stood the test well in the second half. I think their goal had a touch of luck about it; I thought I'd stopped the cross, but he squeezed it through my legs and then Ebanks-Blake has hit it against Pete before it went in. I don't think you'll see too many like that this season. After that they had a couple of moments, as they will do when they're chucking bodies forward, but we did really well and withstood the pressure."
Huddersfield Town were watched against Wolves by a bumper crowd of over eighteen thousand and Hunt praised the support of the fans even after conceding in the second half;
"The crowd were like a 12th man today; they really got us going. They really got behind us and stayed with us when we conceded, so it's great we could get the result for them as well."
Jack Hunt finished off his post match interview by looking ahead to Tuesday nights opponents, Peterborough United. The Posh left a sour taste in the mouths of the terriers two years ago when they forced Huddersfield Town to stay in League One by beating them in the play-off final at Old Trafford 3-0. Hunt was one of the players in that game and he is ready to get one back over them for that day;
"Peterborough are having a bad time at the moment, but I think going there on Tuesday night will be an even tougher game than today. We need to go there and impose ourselves upon them, hopefully we will do that. Perhaps we owe them one!"
