Huddersfield Town managed to play out another joyless stalemate last night, this time against Sheffield Wednesday. The players showed more desire and determination than they had against Luton last week but did not have the creativity to break open Sheffield’s resolute defence. The result was frustrating but could end up being a vital point in our survival bid. Some players did significantly better than others. Here’s how I rate their performances. Lössl - 9 out of 10 The diving, fingertip save from Kadeem Harris’ curling long-range effort was the highlight of the evening. It was a truly magnificent save, full stretch and strong enough fingers to get just enough on the ball to spin it past the post. It was the best individual moment produced by a Town player on the night and Lössl’s seco...

Huddersfield Town have another chance to steer themselves clear of relegation worries against Sheffield Wednesday tonight. After the bitter disappointment of last Friday's loss to Luton, it's vital that Danny Cowley selects the right starting eleven. Here is how I would have them lining up tonight if it were up to me. Goalkeeper - Lössl My personal opinion is that keepers should nearly always come out for balls in their 6 years box, so it was disappointing to see him stuck to his line when Luton scored their opener on Friday. While Schindler was most obviously to blame for that goal, the whole situation could have been avoided if Lössl had been more confident. Having said that, we have few other viable options given how long it is since Coleman has played a game and I think Schofield i...

No. Danny Cowley deserves to keep his job. Here are my reasons why... He inherited a mess It was well documented that Danny Cowley turned down the Town job when he was first approached. Despite a rumour that our offer would increase his salary by a factor of 10 he still said no. Imagine howtoxic Town must have looked to be able to initially walk away from adding an extra zero to your earnings. It's clear Cowley turned down the initial approach because the club was so obviously in a negative spiral and had not yet hit the bottom (despite being bottom end of the league at the time). Cowley is notorious for carrying out detailed opposition research. So he will have discovered, when researching for Lincoln's League Cup trip to Huddersfield, just how crap our team were. He’ll have known tha...

Huddersfield Town lost 3-1 to Nottingham Forest in a game which saw the Terriers play better football than their defeat to Wigan last week. But silly mistakes and a lack of cutting edge cost them. Here are the ratings for each player that started the game. They range from four to six, which feels about right given the performance - flawed but better. I’m sure most readers will disagree with at least some of the scores, so feel free to spout off in the comments if you have an alternative view. Lössl - 6 I wouldn’t blame him for any of the three goals he let in today and there were a few decent saves that he made that preserved our goal difference. He also looked to move the ball out from the back quickly and made some nice passes. Duhaney - 6 Did OK without being exceptional. I particu...
