Five conclusions: Mad finale at Leyton Orient keeps season alive for now

Ryan Ledson's 106th-minute winner capped a ridiculous period of stoppage time at the end of what had been a dismal game at Brisbane Road

1. Normal business resumes: Huddersfield Town are ridiculous again

Years ago, when I was on the Yorkshire circuit for the Football League Paper, I always said I liked doing League One the most. Although some games were dull, every team in the division was flawed enough that they often produced loopy games of football that didn’t make sense.

It turns out that is much less fun when you’re following one team consistently and would generally prefer they do well, but they keep finding ridiculous ways to drop points despite themselves.

Nonetheless, I was almost disappointed after the Reading game that it turned out to be a normal game of football, because it meant there was little left to do in reaction but shrug at a 1-1 draw.

Town certainly made up for that lack of drama here. The significantly extended period of added time contained more action and excitement than we’ve seen for months. And has there ever been a later winner in the club’s history than Ledson’s deflected strike in the 16th minute of added time? Answers on a postcard, please.

Can we pretend it was good? No. Was it great fun in the end anyway? Yes.

2. We’re not sure what else Town expected from that selection in the first half
