It's a shame only 5 or 6 people joined in with the 'Joel Lynch Joel Lynch you're a c#nt' chant.
I agree with pretty much all of this except Big Pete's score; I flinched every time the ball went near him and it seemed that he did too!Brezovan - 5 at fault for goal
Bruno 6 - solid but nothing more
Dunk 8 - fantastic blocks and defended well
Greer 7 - better than recently
Painter 8 - first game this season, was nervous every time it went near him but didn't make one mistake and was decent on the ball
Buckley 9 - loses a point for the miss at the end, otherwise fantastic
Hammond 5 - i feel generous giving a 5. no passing, tackling, running, heading or anything
Bridcutt 8 - ran the show first half, midfield largely bypassed 2nd half as Huddersfield went long ball
Orlandi 8 - calm and composed, a threat on the ball and a good first touch every time. Very impressive
Barnes 6 - solid on the ball but nothing more, missed a sitter first half
Mackail-Smith 6 - ran as hard as ever and got lucky with the assist, but not up to usual high standards
Hoskins 7 - did far more on the ball than CMS, was very impressed by his intelligent runs, strength and touch
Dicker 7 - showed Hammond up quite frankly
Calderon - fantastic late tackle as home fans wanted a penalty
His return to form seems to have coincided with Orlandi's presence in the side. When Hammond and Crofts were both starting in midfield it seemed to hinder Bridcutt's game somewhat, whereas Orlandi in a more advanced position (with better mobility for counter-attacking) allows Liam the space he needs to operate in. Much better balance.Bridcutt 9: Immense, everywhere, awesome.

. How much longer is Gus going to keep starting Hammond?
1: No praise
2: No flack
It seemed to be implied in both cases.
Did Lynch show any signs of being a player that we have missed out on or could start a thread about getting him back.

I was looking on the Huddersfield forum, and a couple of them were really praising Dunk, maybe El-Abd will have to wait to get back into the team?

Dunks 8 might have been revised had he conceded a needless penalty by rugby tackling a town attacker off the ball. Thank goodness d'urso wasn't around to give it.
He needs to think a bit more. I still reckon he may have been sent off last week had the rash challenge not lead to a goal for wolves. So may not have even played yesterday.
