- Page takes Ritchie plaudits
Huddersfield Town manager Andy Ritchie hailed the performance of debutant Robert Page in the 1-0 FA Cup fourth round victory at Oldham Athletic.
Thirty-three-year-old Page impressed at the heart of the Terriers defence at Boundary Park, having recently joined Town from Coventry City.
Ritchie said: "Rob was fantastic. He showed why we got him in, with his leadership qualities and his experience.
"He has that in abundance and hopefully he can keep that going, but the rest of the lads also deserve credit.
"Their commitment was epitomised in the dying moments when three of four jumped in front of the ball to block a shot from one of their players. That said everything."
