Sorba Thomas sends three-word message to Huddersfield Town supporters after dramatic win over Cardiff City

Huddersfield Town bolstered their unlikely promotion bid with a last gasp victory over Cardiff City at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The Terriers were trailing through Tommy Doyle’s excellent finish heading into the 87th minute, before composed strikes from Josh Koroma and Jon Russell sealed the three points to spark scenes of jubilation amongst the home faithful.

Carlos Corberan comes out with so much credit for the Terriers’ performances this season after the side were tipped for relegation at the beginning of the campaign, to back up their brilliant win at Fulham with a narrow one at home to the in-form Bluebirds has done wonders for their promotion push.

Sorba Thomas registered an assist for Russell’s 96th minute winner and he took to Instagram to celebrate the victory.

He posted: “THE TERRIER SPIRIT.”

It is now three goals and 13 assists in all competitions for Thomas, the 23-year-old’s rapid rise and acclimatisation to the second tier this term has played a huge role in the Terriers exceeding expectations.

The former Boreham Wood man is not as box office as the likes of Duane Holmes, Danel Sinani and Josh Koroma, however his outstanding consistency this season has ensured that Town’s standards have not dropped in their unlikely pursuit of a play-off finish.

The Verdict

There was a bit of a hangover from the win at Fulham in Wednesday evening’s performance, the Terriers were not at their best for large periods but will be buoyed by the late show heading into the weekend’s trip to Birmingham City.

Huddersfield have snuck up on everyone inside the top six and are now just two points off of automatic promotion.

Bournemouth, who currently occupy second, have played four games
