Barry-Murphy pleased with Huddersfield fightback

· Yahoo Sports

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."

The draw means Cardiff's likely promotion party will have to be put on hold until at least Saturday when the Bluebirds return to action at Reading (15:00 BST).

Barry-Murphy's men will seal a return to the Championship if they defeat the Royals and Stockport County drop points in either of their games against Wimbledon on Wednesday night or Exeter City at the weekend.

"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. But we know how much hard work is still ahead of us to achieve that."

Cardiff were dealt a blow in the 60th minute of the contest against Huddersfield as defender Dylan Lawlor was withdrawn.

The 20-year-old sustained a toe injury while on international duty with Wales during the March international break and is continuing to struggle with the issue.

"He's very sore in his toe," Barry-Murphy said of Lawlor.

"He just couldn't perform to the level that he or we needed."
