Nahki Wells Scores Fourth Pre-Season Goal

Bermuda’s Nahki Wells scored in today’s [Aug 1] pre-season friendly against Barnsley, which saw Huddersfield Town lose 2-1.

The club’s match report said, “Town’s final dress rehearsal ahead of the 2015/16 Sky Bet Championship campaign ended in defeat at Oakwell this afternoon, with League 1 hosts Barnsley coming from behind to claim the bragging rights on Yorkshire Day.

“An organised first-half for the Terriers saw them take the lead through a great goal from Nahki Wells – his fourth of pre-season – but when a big error gave Barnsley a gift of an equaliser, the hosts didn’t look back and eventually netted again early in the second-half through a set-piece.”

After the game, Manager Chris Powell said, “Nahki’s goal was excellent; he has looked sharp all pre-season. I think his all-round game has come on; he’s not just playing off the shoulder now, but he’s getting involved in the build-up play. His runs are clever.

“The players know that if we can get Nahki one-on-one with defenders in those areas, there is only going to be one outcome – as we saw today. It was an outstanding goal with some good build-up play before it, which is what I want to see more of.”
