The dugout

Edvin Austbø: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Huddersfield Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Kwadwo Baah was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Huddersfield Town turn down Leicester City for Joe Taylor

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Ilias Bronkhorst asks to leave Huddersfield Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Bristol Rovers watching Kwadwo Baah

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Huddersfield Town have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom

A new deal for Christopher Brown

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Huddersfield Town

5 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

Sean Roughan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Leeds United tell Huddersfield Town: Jack Clarke is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

In brief
