Wells Scores Twice in Draw & Lambe Unused

Wells scoring from the Spot
IslandStats.com
Nahki Wells scored twice as Huddersfield recovered from being two down to draw 2-2 with out-of-sorts Ipswich.

The fact that Wells who had watched from the bench for the last two games came back fresh and healthy would indicate to the local Bermuda Press continue reporting ant let the manager of a Professional Football Team do the coaching and selecting the team!

Wells scored from the penalty spot before heading home from close range to cap an amazing fight back from the visitors.

Ipswich center-backs Tommy Smith and Christophe Berra had put the home side ahead.

Before the second half drama, Grant Holt, so often a thorn in Ipswich's side when leading the line at rivals Norwich, should have given Huddersfield a 13th minute lead.

Jacob Butterfield broke clear before releasing Holt but he poked a shot wide of the far post when he should have made Dean Gerken work.

And the striker was made to pay for the miss after 20 minutes when Ipswich took the lead with their first effort on target.

A succession of corners ended with Teddy Bishop's flag kick finding the head of Tommy Smith who nodded in at the near post.

The lively Wells went close in the 32nd minute when Paul Dixon's through ball somehow made its way through to the Huddersfield striker.

His instant shot was blocked by Gerken and the rebound came at him too quickly as he headed it over.

Huddersfield had responded well, but almost fell two behind when Bishop's free kick went all the way through to Smith who deflected the ball onto the post before Alex Smithies just about gathered the rebound.

Wells had Gerken scampering across his goal in injury time, when his audacious first-time volley from an acute angle was tipped around the post by the alert Ipswich keeper.

Ipswich doubled their advantage nine minutes after the restart when McGoldrick controlled Jonathan Parr's clip over the static away defense and the striker's low cross was turned in by the unmarked Berra from close range.

Halfway through the second half, Huddersfield keeper Smithies was called upon to expertly use his head as McGoldrick ran at the goal.

Out of nothing, Huddersfield got themselves back into game following a hotly-disputed penalty.

A deep cross into the area saw Chambers and Holt go to ground and referee Richard Clark had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Wells made no mistake from 12 yards to grab a deserved goal before substitute Harry Bunn shot at Gerken's legs as Huddersfield went for the equalizer.

Murphy drilled a shot just wide and then had a header which lacked power to trouble Smithies before Huddersfield equalized with eight minutes remaining.

Substitute Sean Scannell's cross found Wells who headed home from the edge of the six-yard-box.

Reggie Lambe

On-loan striker Daniel Carr scored on his debut to earn Reggie Lambe’s Mansfield a point and deny Russ Wilcox his first York win.

Lambe was an unused substitute yet again for this match.

Diego De Girolamo turned on the edge of the six-yard box to fire the hosts into a 20th-minute lead.

Carr volleyed home Mansfield's equalizer just after the hour mark.
