“Thankfully we weren’t punished for his mistakes” – Player ratings for Huddersfield Town’s victory over Nottingham Forest

“Thankfully we weren’t punished for his mistakes” – Player ratings for Huddersfield Town’s victory over Nottingham Forest

Matches
Huddersfield Town were deserved leaders at half time after Aaron Rowe put them in the lead. After a nervy start, Town became more dominant as the half wore on and it was their opponents that made an error while passing around at  the back which lead to the goal. The win was sealed in the second half when Bacuna's thunderbolt put us two up and ended the game as a contest.  While it was far from a perfect performance, it was a significant improvement on recent outings from Town and we were the better team on the day. While relegation isn't completely avoided with this win but it certainly puts us very close to safety.  Here are my player ratings for the match…  Ryan Schofield - 6 out of 10  A quiet afternoon for the stopper but he did everything asked of...

The starting XI Carlos should pick if he’s learned from his mistakes against Bournemouth

The starting XI Carlos should pick if he’s learned from his mistakes against Bournemouth

Matches
Huddersfield Town take on Nottingham Forest this lunchtime in a game that represents a chance to make a significant step towards Championship survival. Nottingham Forest aren't pushovers but we've beaten them once already this season and we have much more to play for as they are all but safe.  I'm basing today's predicted lineup on the players I think Carlos should pick, based mostly upon their performances in Tuesday's game against Bournemouth. Many of the starting lineup were outshone by the subs that came on to replace them, so I'd like to see quite a few changes to today's lineup but I have a suspicion that Carlos may choose to stick with the core players he's used most of the season, even those that have underperformed lately. We'll find out at half eleven.  Goalkeepe...

Huddersfield Town players respond on social media to 1-0 victory over Forest

Huddersfield Town players respond on social media to 1-0 victory over Forest

Social media
Huddersfield Town won their first game of the season last night and their players took to social media to celebrate. Now we're not able to celebrate victories in the stadium together, these messages online feel more important. With that in mind, here are the posts from the boys following the first three points of the season. Romoney Crichlow expresses his pride https://twitter.com/rcrichlow_/status/1309609319059644417 What a great performance from a young lad on his Championship debut. He looked at home on the left side of central defence and I can see Naby Sarr having to push hard to overtake him in the pecking order. Koroma blames Forest keeper for keeping out his effort https://twitter.com/longlivejk11/status/1309630210048917505 Koroma was one of our standout ...

Huddersfield Town 1-0 Forest – Player ratings – An unexpected man of the match

Huddersfield Town 1-0 Forest – Player ratings – An unexpected man of the match

Matches, Opinion
Huddersfield Town won their first game of the season last night in a one nil victory over Nottingham Forest. It was a well-deserved win and the best performance we’ve seen under Town’s new Head Coach, Carlos Corberán. There were still plenty of areas to improve upon but there was a clearer sense of the new identity Town are striving for in this game. There were a number of individual performances that stood out, including some players that have received a fair amount of criticism. It’s so nice to be able to sing the praises of Huddersfield Town players for a change! With that in mind, here are my player ratings. Ben Hamer - 9 out of 10 (Man of the match) Made a couple of stunning saves that kept Huddersfield Town in the game in the first half. Knowing how much conceding goals aff...

Predicted Huddersfield Town starting XI for tonight’s game against Forest

Predicted Huddersfield Town starting XI for tonight’s game against Forest

Matches, Opinion
Huddersfield Town play Nottingham Forest tonight in a game they hope will lead to their first goal and points of the season. Forest haven't had a great start to the season either but have some quality players in their squad that could hurt Town if we let them. The team selection tonight presents Carlos Corberán with some tricky choices. In previous weeks he’s only had twelve or thirteen senior players available to pick from and then made the squad up with youngsters. With new arrivals becoming available and existing players returning from injury there is a bit more to choose from tonight. Goalkeeper: Hamer I saw a poll during the week that showed most fans would prefer to see Pereira start tonight instead of Hamer. I personally disagree. For all his flaws, Hamer has been given the role ...

6 things to watch out for in the Huddersfield v Nottingham Forest game – Grant, tactics, selection, Eiting, fitness and more

Matches, Opinion
Huddersfield Town face Nottingham Forest this evening in their third Championship game of the season. Neither team has scored a point or a goal in their opening two games, so at least one of the teams will see some sort of upturn in their fortunes by the end of the night. There are plenty of things to watch out for in the game from a Huddersfield Town fan's perspective. Here are some of the questions I'm looking forward to finding out the answers to tonight. How will the tactical battle play out? This game may give us a better look at the tactical system that Carlos Corberán wants to play. The difference in quality between Town and their first two opponents meant we didn't see proper Carlosball as we struggled to dominate those games. Town interviewed a Sarah Clapson from the Nottingha...

6 talking points ahead of Town’s game against Forest

6 talking points ahead of Town’s game against Forest

Matches
Huddersfield Town head to Nottingham in desperate need of points to help keep them in the Championship. After a limp non-performance against Wigan, there's also pressure on the team to play better football.Drama off the pitch this week has also led to Town now being without Danny Simpson at right back, after he failed to agree a contract extension with the club.Here's a preview of some of the talking points leading into the game.Who will replace Danny Simpson at rightback?Simpson has struggled for form for a while now and looked poor when pressed aggressively by Wigan last weekend. So a change is probably due anyway.Demeaco Duhaney is the most obvious choice to fill the gap, as he did a reasonable job when he came on as sub last week. He's a bit of an unknown quantity but has plenty of mot...
