“Playing with a swagger” Player ratings for Huddersfield Town’s 2-0 victory over QPR

Matches

Huddersfield Town put in one of their best performances of the season in their win over QPR yesterday. It was almost like watching an exhibition of pass and move football for long spells of the game where Town completely dominated an unconvincing QPR side. Unsurprisingly, such a good team performance was a result of several individual players having excellent games and combining well together. Here’s what I thought of each player: Ben Hamer - 7 out of 10 Only had two saves to make and neither tested him but he made up for that lack of activity by playing some excellent passes out from the back.

Huddersfield Town had been linked with the winger earlier in the transfer window but the deal was alleged to have broken down after failing to agree personal terms with the player. Chris Willock spent the second half of last season on loan at Huddersfield Town and scored one of the crucial goals in our season-salvaging victory over West Brom in our penultimate game. Here are a few of my thoughts on Town losing out on Willock to a Championship rival. How did Willock do during his loan spell at Huddersfield Town? Chris Willock arrived at Huddersfield Town lacking match fitness after his loan at West Brom was prematurely ended because he wasn’t getting any game time. He looked rusty and was ...
