  Dorus De Vries: Even when Huddersfield were on top was rarely tested. Showed good handling and deserved to have kept a clean-sheet, but could do nothing about Emyr Huws' deflected strike. 7Eric Lichaj: Teed Ryan Mendes up nicely to break the deadlock with a cushioned header. Could have been walking a tightrope following an early booking but didn't shy away from a challenge. 7Jack Hobbs: Took Matt Mills' place in the defence and made sure his voice was heard, constantly encouraging his...
