Barry-Murphy pleased with Huddersfield fightback

Brian Barry-Murphy says Cardiff City's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town is a "great point in the circumstances". The Bluebirds looked on course for defeat at Accu Stadium until Yousef Salech equalised in the 95th minute after Ryan Ledson had put the Terriers ahead in the opening half. And head coach Barry-Murphy says he was relieved his side were able to give the travelling Cardiff supporters something to celebrate late on having been short of their best levels against Huddersfield.

"I think it's a great point in the circumstances," he said. "We have to accept that we weren't at our best. "It's pleasing, with the amount of supporters we had there, to get to celebrate in such dramatic fashion.

"Its a great experience for our team to have to go through the process of trying to win promotion and trying to understand how difficult it is," added Barry-Murphy. "We have to live that, enjoy every single part of it and try and win on Saturday. "Our objective is to try and win promotion, that would be an amazing achievement.
