Well that's it.
Sky were expecting a Harlem Globetrotters style exhibition game where the 'invincibles' from Yorkshire put the lowly upstarts from South London to the sword.
Unfortunately for all of those concerned, Huddersfield can stick their record up dot dot dot as the North upper sang.
Kermit and Hogan scored the goals but for my money, we won the game in defence.
Morrison and Taylor were immense, little Chris Solly was in control, Taylor and Wiggins also had fine games.
I don't mind admitting I was more than a little worried about tonight.
When a Huddersfield supporter told me before the game that we should be happy with a point I responded bullishly that it was rubbish. We wanted all 3 points and we were going to get them!
I didn't believe it really but so it came to pass.
The only slight fly in the ointment was Yann Kermorgant being stretchered off in the last few minutes.
It looked serious and I wish him well.
A Casual Rating.
My MOM who, of course, is being awarded the Lacoste polo is Michael Morrison.
He seemed to be just in the right place, every time to foil the Huddersfield attacks.
The Primark novelty slogan t-shirt is going to whoever decided the East stand turnstiles were going to be perfectly fine with some of them closed.
I was still outside with 5 minutes played.
Ref Watch.
Hmm. I wasn't impressed.
We won despite the referee tonight.
He seemed particularly adverse to awarding us free kicks for pushes and tugs yet somehow managed to award a free kick when tiny Chris Solly breathed on huge beast Parkin.
I don't care a stuff.
We are 7 points clear and I'm going to bed with a smile on my face.
Good Night all.

Sweet dreams Marco! Fantastic performance.
Powell said that Kermie should be ok and I didn't expect him to feature anyway this weekend.
From where I was sitting Marco, it looked like he (Kermit) turned his ankle. Think he was absolutely knackered, nothing too serious hopefully. Great night at the Valley, haven't been able to say that too often just recently have we?
