From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Dominik Livaković

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Ivan Mesik is a Huddersfield Town player

The fee is $5.8M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Charlton Athletic drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Ilias Bronkhorst keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Huddersfield Town may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Will Alves

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Huddersfield Town

Lamare Bogarde was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ryan Hardie

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.04, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bobby Wales

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Huddersfield Town and Hull City take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

Sebastian Jakubiak placed on the list

Huddersfield Town have made Sebastian Jakubiak available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Marvelous Nakamba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sheffield this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Macaulay Gillesphey signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Macaulay Gillesphey and Sheffield agree another 3 years.

Loan watch

Will Grainger counts the days

“I watch every Sheffield game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Blackburn Rovers runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Huddersfield Town count the cost of losing Radinio Balker

58 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Huddersfield Town

Ashley Young was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Marcus Harness gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Bobby Wales

Marked 8.74 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market

Jack Whatmough told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jack Whatmough has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Huddersfield Town.

Match

Huddersfield Town and Leeds United take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

Huddersfield Town sign Benjamin Lawrence, one for the future

Benjamin Lawrence is 16, and Huddersfield Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Huddersfield Town sign Jonathan Hill, one for the future

Jonathan Hill is 16, and Huddersfield Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

A long bet from Huddersfield Town on Charles Thompson

He is 16, and nobody at Huddersfield Town signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
