Skipper Not Getting Carried Away

Peter Clarke aided the terriers back to winning ways as he captained the side that took all three points away at Birmingham City on Saturday. The skipper put in his usual 'body on the line' performance but admitted afterwards that he shall not be getting too carried away with the great start to the season;

"It's an important three points. Collectively we'd be lying if we said we weren't disappointed with the previous two results and performances, so to go away from home to one of the top teams one of the favourites for promotion in the division and get a result is great. We are quite well placed; it's been a decent enough start, but that's all it has been. We're not going to get carried away, but to go into the international break on the back of a good performance and win is good."

"We knew this league wasn't going to be easy, but there is a belief and some talent within the group and, barring one or two, the majority of us have some knowledge of this level. The new lads that the Manager has brought in have proven to be shrewd signings. They have integrated into the group really well, which is great. We're all singing from the same hymn sheet."

"There are one or two niggles around the squad and this little bit of time will allow bodies to recover and players to recharge. Come a fortnight's time, hopefully we will all be fighting fit and raring to go again."

Peter Clarke was also delighted with the new partnership of Vaughan & Beckford against Birmingham City with the latter getting his first goal for the terriers after slotting past Butland in the first half;

"Vaughany and Becks were brilliant for us today; they had a great work ethic and I think they are a good foil for each other. Jermaine finished his chance ever so well and it's nice to have people up there that you know are going to get you goals. They are both hungry individuals and they both have a desire to play, work hard, score goals and succeed. They are great ingredients for strikers."

"The fact that the Manager and Jermaine have worked together before can only be beneficial; they know each other's qualities and how each other work. Hopefully that will bring the best out of everyone and we'll reap the rewards with Jermaine's goals."
