Castledine's Lampard-esque Goal Praised
10 Dec
Summary
- Leo Castledine scored a 'Lampard-esque' goal from outside the box.
- Ex-EFL winger Adrian Clarke lauded Castledine's technique.
- Huddersfield Town currently sits eighth in the League One table.
Huddersfield Town's Leo Castledine has earned significant praise from former EFL winger Adrian Clarke for a goal against Cardiff City. Clarke likened the technique used to score from outside the box to that of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, highlighting it as a "Lampard-esque" moment. This exceptional strike has positioned Castledine as a standout player for the Terriers.
Despite Castledine's brilliance, Clarke expressed reservations about Huddersfield Town's overall promotion prospects. He noted the team's "terribly inconsistent" performances, which currently see them sitting eighth in the League One table, two points adrift of the playoff places. Clarke suggested that Huddersfield does not appear to be promotion candidates.
Castledine, on loan from Chelsea, also found the net again in a recent 1-1 draw at Northampton Town. Clarke pointed out the team's shortcomings this season, suggesting fans expected more from manager Lee Grant, especially given the significant investment in the summer transfer window. The Terriers were relegated from the Championship in the 2023/24 season.
