Murphy has won two of his three games in charge of Huddersfield

Huddersfield Town caretaker manager Gerry Murphy has praised the character shown by his side in the 1-0 win at Brighton on Saturday.

Michael Collins scored the only goal to secure back-to-back wins for Town.

Murphy told BBC Radio Leeds: "That's a result that you dig in and grind out, we showed a lot of commitment and a lot of character.

"I thought we defended very well - it was hard work but every man stuck to his job."

"Since I've come into this position Keigan has given me 100% on the training ground and in the games that he's played," said Muphy.

"I can only applaud the lad for the way that he's gone about his job."

Town's caretaker boss is also hoping that Matt Glennon's second-half penalty save will boost the keeper's confidence.

"Matt is probably going through a spell where he feels he hasn't been producing what he knows he can," said Murphy.

"We've tried to lift him and give him the confidence and I think today he stood up to be counted.

"When he was called upon, he did what he had to do" he added.
