Terriers found 'another gear' - Grant
Grant: 'Our most dominant game'

Huddersfield Town manager Lee Grant was satisfied with his side's performance in the 1-0 win over Stevenage on Saturday.
The win lifted the Terriers to second in League One, just one point behind leaders Cardiff City after four wins from their opening five games.
Grant told BBC Radio Leeds he was pleased with how his side grew into the game.
"I really enjoyed the game," he said. "Probably enjoyed the second half a tad more, but definitely our most dominant game and the game we've had the most control in."
Town recorded their fourth clean sheet of the season, showing their defensive solidity alongside an unrelenting attack which produced 12 shots, six of which were on target. Grant was pleased his side improved in the second half and were able to find the winning goal.
"I thought the guys attacked the game really well but with more urgency in the second half," he added.
"I love the fact they can recognise there's another gear in there. Of course we got the goal and that comes from a good spell of pressure and starting the second half with more intensity."
Goalscorer Alfie May was the standout performer in the victory, proving his ability to focus and deliver under moments of intense pressure.
"[Stevenage] have a never-say-die attitude so there's always going to be another [defender] ready to block it on the line," Grant added. "Unfortunately for Alfie in that moment there was.
"But the presence of mind and the calmness to come onto the next [shot and score]. That's what he does so I'm delighted for Alfie."
May has two goals and an assist after starting all Huddersfield's league games this season and Grant hopes it's a solid foundation for the 32-year-old to build on through the course of this League One campaign.
"We're certain that there'll be many more opportunities for him over the course of the season," Grant said.
