Leeds United 1 Huddersfield Town 4: YEP jury verdicts

JAMES HARRISON

The season is well and truly over now. There was a little bit of hope after winning three games on the bounce but Huddersfield have definitely ended it.

The second half was really poor, our defence was all over the place and we didn’t deserve to get anything from the game.

After the penalty decision in the first half we were brilliant. We controlled the game and thoroughly deserved our goal. Liam Bridcutt put a great ball in and Stuart Dallas rose high and placed a superb header past their goalkeeper.

To concede two goals from set-pieces is poor. We have defended poorly all season and this game showed that. All four goals were soft; the second half seemed like a training game to them. All our intensity went out of the game for some reason and the players lacked fight and hunger. The players have now realised that the season is over so now they’ve just got to give the fans something to shout about.

There isn’t any point bringing any loan signings in now. It is a good chance to ease some of the young players into the squad and give them some game time heading into next season.

Steve Evans should give Lee Erwin a run in the side. He hasn’t been great when he’s come off the bench but maybe a run of games starting will give him some confidence.

I’m really surprised he hasn’t spent the season on loan at another club to get him some quality game time.

Evans’ team selection was really strange.

To drop Lewis Cook was a poor call; he has been one of our best players all season and without him we don’t seem to click.

It was a risk that didn’t pay off but if it was to save him from injury then we can’t complain. Huddersfield looked really good going forward, their players around Nahki Wells are really tricky and caused us problems from the first minute.

Town manager David Wagner has definitely made them into a better side.
