Huddersfield Town 1 Bristol Rovers 1: Craig Disley says he's not unduly worried about his personal goals drought as long as Bristol Rovers' unbeaten run continues.

The future Mrs Disley, however, might feel somewhat differently.

The Bristol Rovers midfielder capped a fine display by setting up the second-half leveller which ensured a point – the minimum the visitors deserved from another good away display.

Disley's Rovers' career has been punctuated by some useful goals delivered on a fairly regular basis, though he has now gone 23 games without finding the net.

"I think this is probably the longest I've ever gone without one," he admitted. "I don't mind too much if we are playing well and winning games.

"What is a bit of a worry is that I'm getting married next year and I said I'd put any goals bonus towards the wedding. I might not be going down the aisle at this rate!"

By rights, Huddersfield should have been left as the bridesmaids after Rovers carved out a decent array of chances and limited the home side to precious few opportunities, despite conceding the first goal of the game for the eighth time in 12 league outings this term.

It came after seven minutes as the ball broke loose from Stuart Campbell's tackle on Liam Dickinson, rolling kindly for Michael Flynn to fire home a low shot from 22 yards which sped past Steve Phillips into the bottom corner.

The visitors had made another fairly tepid start to the match, and it was 20 minutes before they finally started to keep hold of the ball to real effect and get their passing game together.

They created a flurry of chances around the half-hour mark, the first coming when a neat interchange allowed Disley to send Darryl Duffy away.

But the striker delayed his finish to set himself up on his right foot, allowing keeper Matt Glennon the chance to readjust and save his shot from 10 yards.

Shortly afterwards, Jeff Hughes headed over from six yards when Chris Lines clipped a lofted ball across the goalmouth – and the Northern Irishman should have scored a couple of minutes later, only for Glennon to stick out a leg and block the shot.

In between times Terriers' debutant Steve Jones, a loan signing from Burnley, nodded wide from six yards at the other end from the last clear chance the home side were to create all afternoon – a fact that sparked an exponential amount of grumbling from the Yorkshire crowd as the game progressed.

Rovers were back on level terms eight minutes into the second period, Disley doing well to get past left-back Joe Skarz and pull the ball back to Rickie Lambert.

The striker was ahead of the near post, but the first-time finish he conjured up with his right-foot exuded the sort of confidence that comes from regular goalscoring and was ruthlessly executed.

"I didn't actually see the ball go in because I was 'eating grass' at the time – but it was great to see it in the net when I looked up," said Disley.

"Rickie's on fire at the moment and it seems that he's going to score from pretty much any chance that comes his way."

Not quite all, however, for Glennon pulled off a smart low save to prevent Lambert netting again with a header from Duffy's chip just after the hour.

Disley did almost get on the scoresheet himself when he raced towards the near post to meet a Campbell corner, steering his shot wide.

And Glennon came to the rescue again when he saved Duffy's glancing header from a Campbell free-kick after 72 minutes.

That was pretty much the last real opportunity of the game, though Rovers rarely looked like conceding a second and the more likely of the two sides to nick something.

The chorus of booing ringing around the stadium at the end reflected how effectively the visitors had nullified a side capable of posing an attacking threat, and the general consensus among home fans was that they were probably fortunate to emerge with a point.

"It was a good performance after a very sloppy start. But after 15 minutes we really started to kick on and played some good stuff," said Disley.

"We're a bit disappointed we only got a point because we had some decent chances, but it's a decent one away from home. We had to do something to stop us leaking goals, and playing Stuart Campbell just in front of the back four has worked.

"It looked a bit negative when we first tried it against Crewe, but we've tweaked it since then and have been trying to put people into holes where they can hurt the opposition.

"We've done pretty well since and we're still working on it, so I'm sure it's going to get better.

"It's not a negative formation because it means you have five defenders and five attackers who are trying to win you the game. It's turned into quite an attacking one.

"But it's hard work – and I'm getting a bit old for all that running!"
