Kane made a good run to get on to Chairs pass, but wastes it with a weak shot. Bacuna shoots over, so does Willock.
0-0 at half time. Despite a glorious missed chance by Kane, I feel that Huddersfield are nicking it on points. We need to up our game in the 2nd half.
Bit better last 5 minutes, but not a good half from us. We looked ragged, maybe partly wind gusts against us, but hopefully behind us 2nd half.
Strange thing I noticed today... the players seem to be under orders not to put pressure on the goalkeeper and not too much on the defenders. We're letting them have time to find an overhead pass forward, which is not what you want to give to Huddersfield. Otherwise, we look very competitive. As I'd mentioned in previous threads, Kane gets trapped a lot under pressure. But Dickie (and sometimes Kakay) is often overlapping to help him out with a pass, which is better. Not too much to change in the second half aside from forcing their keeper into a blind lofted pass, rather than giving him time to find a target. I'd also tell some of the players to take a few shots when they find a bit of space. Field had a good chance to shoot with his left, as did Johanssen. Some amazing passing from us at times.
Awful first half. Poor passing and decision making. Stefan is playing like he is pissed. Second half needs to be and will be better.
