“Not a happy chap right now” – Player ratings from Huddersfield Town’s 1-1 draw with Luton

Matches

Huddersfield Town shared the points with Luton in a scrappy game that Town might have won with a bit more cutting edge at the top end but equally could have lost had Eiting not managed to score a looping header that was very difficult to score from.

The game was billed as a decisive one for our season yet the players failed to find any fluency or spirit and were deservedly beaten. Fingers were being pointed all over the place on social media, clambering for an answer to why Town have been so poor in big games. I honestly don’t know the reason but I have a few ideas. I suspect we will never truly know what is the biggest factor in Town’s awful performance against Luton but here are a few thoughts of mine... Too many players that won’t be here next year Town's starting eleven against Luton featured four loan players (Lossl, Chalobah, Smith Rowe, Willock), one player that's already signed for another club next season...
