                                        Bruce plans thwarted by former colleagues

                                                  Walsall 2      Huddersfield Town 0

  THEY do not make __(1)  habit of winning at __(2)  Bescot Stadium, but when Walsall do prevail those with __(3)  delusions of __(4)  grandeur are often brought down to __(5)  earth with __(6)  bump.
__(7) last month __(8) defeat of Birmingham City, __(9)  Walsall's first home league victory of __(10) season, thwarted __(11)  ambitions of their neighbours at __(12) top end of __(13) Nationwide League first division.

__(14)  last night it was __(15) turn of Huddersfield Town, who harboured __(16)  hopes not only of __(17)  taking over at __(18)  top of __(19) table but also moving closer to __(20) club record of __(21) eight successive wins that has stood since 1919.

__(22) seventh success was, however, denied them by a Walsall side demonstrating __(23) classic English virtues of __(24) commitment and endeavour that so distracted __(25) fluency and rhythm in __(26) visitors. Mark Robins and Andy Rammell, both former Manchester United colleagues of Steve Bruce, __(27) Huddersfield manager, handed Walsall __(28) first-half supremacy that was seldom challenged.

Desperately requiring __(29) point to elevate themselves from __(30) relegation area, Walsall displayed __(31) urgency and desire that was swiftly rewarded. Dean Keates chipped __(32) forlorn pass over __(33) heads of Huddersfield's central defenders in __(34) seventh minute. Nico Vaesen, __(35) goalkeeper, dashed from his line to intercept but was left stranded as Robins extended his right boot and steered __(36) ball home.

Thereafter Rammell and Adrian Viveash, __(37) centre half, harried and hustled in __(38) aerial struggle, making __(39) life exceedingly uncomfortable for Ken Monkou, __(40) normally unflappable Dutch defender. Rammell, in __(41) particular, embodied __(42) spirit in __(43) Walsall side. His robust approach was complemented by Diego Padula, formerly of River Plate, and Pedro Matias, who once played for Real Madrid. Not surprisingly it was this pair who provided the more subtle nuances.

Nevertheless it was __(44) direct method that paid handsomely on __(45) stroke of __(46) half-time. Chris Marsh, __(47) Walsall captain, crossed long and deep from __(48) right wing for Rammell to head firmly home.

Previously in such exhilarating form, Huddersfield were __(49) huge disappointment seldom attaining __(50) pace of __(51) game. "We deserved exactly what we got - and that was nothing," Bruce said. "We have set __(52) standards recently but we had too many people who did not live up to those standards."

There was __(53) glimmer of __(54) resurgence after __(55) interval when Marcus Stewart thought he had added to his tally of eleven for __(56) season, but his low drive was ruled offside. __(57) appearance of Scott Sellars as __(58) substitute inspired __(59) late flourish, Sellars himself almost reducing __(60) arrears after __(61) mesmerizing run and shot that was blocked by __(62) legs of James Walker, __(63) Walsall goalkeeper.

Clyde Wijnhard, __(64) Dutch striker, was __(65) shadow of __(66) enterprising player who had tormented Nottingham Forest just ten days ago but he was far from __(67) worst underachiever in this disjointed Huddersfield performance.

WALSALL (4-4-2): J Walker - C Marsh, I Roper, A Viveash, D Padula - D Wrack, G Bukran, D Keates, P Matias - A Rammell, M Robins (sub: B Larusson, 86min). Substitutes not used: C Emberson, T Barras, M Gadsby, S Eyjolfsson.
