Player ratings

A brace, and Marrony takes the afternoon — 8.60

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Marrony provided it, and the 8.60 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Transfer targets

Huddersfield Town make their move for Benjamin Tetteh

$1.2M on the table at NK Maribor. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Huddersfield Town go back to the board over Tyrese Francois

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $364.0K — a club that wants Tyrese Francois enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Kamarl Grant is a medical away from Huddersfield Town

The deal with Millwall is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Ilias Bronkhorst 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 Huddersfield Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Huddersfield Town baulk at the price for Tyrese Francois

Wigan Athletic wanted more than $340.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Huddersfield Town

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words at Huddersfield Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marrony is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Huddersfield Town rebuffed over Jaouen Hadjam

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Brighton have kept their man, and Huddersfield Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief
