27th February 2010 – Huddersfield Town 2 Leeds United 2
Simon Grayson took his promotion chasing side to the Galpharm to take on Lee Clarke’s side who were looking to maintain a push for the play-offs. Huddersfield took a fortunate lead when Anthony Pilkington’s 25 yard effort took a deflection which totally wrong-footed Casper Ankergren in the United goal. Leeds though came back well and turned the game on its head with two goals in five minutes just past the hour. Jonny Howson grabbed an equaliser, turning in a Robert Snodgrass cross. Five minutes later Leeds were in front as Luciano Becchio tapped home, Snodgrass again the provider. Town though fought their way back into the match and Gary Roberts forced home the equaliser with five minutes remaining. Leeds had the last laugh though; they earned automatic promotion, Town missed out in the play-offs.
14th February 2009 – Huddersfield Town 1 Leeds United 0
The match at the Galpharm Stadium came at a difficult time for Simon Grayson’s side. This was the second in a run of three consecutive away defeats which threatened to derail the Whites season, but in the end turned the campaign around. An early goal from Peter Clarke turned out to be the decisive moment in the game as Leeds failed to take the numerous chances they created. This result saw Huddersfield leapfrog the Whites into 7th place, and after a defeat at Hereford three days later Simon Grayson saw fit to read the riot act to his squad. They responded by winning 8 games in an 11 match unbeaten run that took them into the playoffs. Huddersfield slipped away into 9th place.
