Nobody could get near Datro Fofana
Successful dribbles: 49. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Mohammed Fikri damages knee ligaments — 49 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 49 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A fracture rules Christopher Grant out for 50 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Huddersfield Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Tempers go at Huddersfield Town
Datro Fofana 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.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Huddersfield Town
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

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.

Huddersfield Town promote Michael Evans from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Michael Evans has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Anthony Reid steps up from the Huddersfield Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Anthony Reid has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Simon Jones joins the Huddersfield Town first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Simon Jones is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
