Huddersfield Town 1-4 West Ham: Our worst performance of the season so far

Matches, Opinion

Huddersfield Town were beaten 4-1 at the John Smith’s Stadium by West Ham, the first team to take six points from us this season. It was a dispiriting performance from Town, where every player fell short of the standard required and the tactics didn’t work. West Ham deserve credit too. Their game plan worked well, exploiting our habit of playing out from the back and getting their best players one on one against our defenders when they attacked. Joe Lolley: from the ridiculous to the sublime Lolley’s performance was the main talking point at half-time for both good and bad reasons. Lössl played the ball out to him when marked and West Ham hustled him out of possession and Mark Noble scored a gift of a goal. The keeper was at fault for a poor pass but Lolley’s touch let him down an...

Huddersfield Town v West Ham – Everything you need to know before the game

Matches

Town are back in Premier League action against West Ham, after beating Bolton in the FA Cup last weekend. The game at the John Smith’s Stadium is a chance to put right the 2-0 defeat to West Ham at the London Stadium earlier in the season. This is a game that could easily shape the direction of the rest of Town’s season. A win will help us cement our position in mid-table, a defeat will put us closer to the relegation spots with some tough games coming up. West Ham are a team that have underperformed this season and are below Town in the league. However, they’ve got good individual players and will be tough opponents. David Moyes isn’t rated as a manager anymore, but he’s built his career on putting together well-organised teams that are hard to break down. Who will play for Town in...

8 positives from the defeat at West Ham

Matches, Opinion

Huddersfield Town were beaten 2-0 away at West Ham and it hurt to see us lose our first Premier League game. Particularly as Town lacked their usual terrier spirit, and struggled to cope with West Ham's physical approach. It wasn't all doom and gloom though. Here are some of the positives from the game... Town's fans are building a great reputation I was at the game, so couldn't hear how we sounded on TV but my brother said we came across as creating a good atmosphere. From my position in the stands, it sounded like each and every Town fan was singing and cheering the team along. It's easy to give passionate support to your team when things are going well, but when the game turned against us the singing continued and the players got every bit of support we could give them. Our vocal s...

West Ham 2-0 Huddersfield Town – Player Ratings on Terrierspirit.com

Matches

Huddersfield Town suffered their first defeat of their Premier League season against West Ham at the London Stadium. The Hammers deserved to win on the night, but the goals conceded were both a bit unlucky. Town's performance wasn't as at the same level as their other Premier League games so far. Find out below how the individual players got on. Jonas Lössl - 7 out of 10 Not at fault for either goal and didn't do much wrong otherwise. He made a good save from a deflection in a crowed box from a corner in the first half.

Everything you need to know about West Ham v Huddersfield Town

Matches

Huddersfield Town head to London to take on West Ham United on Monday night. The two sides could hardly have more contrasting situations going into the game. West Ham have lost all three of their opening fixtures. Their manager is on the brink of being sacked. Their owners are about to launch legal action against another club after being called “the dildo brothers”. Things look pretty bleak at West Ham right now. Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, have seven points out of nine so far in the Premier League, the manager has the most secure job in the division, and our owner is probably one of the best in all of club football. All the signs point to a Town victory. The only word of caution I’d add is that Town often fare better when tipped as the underdogs. Just look back to Burton Albi...
