Huddersfield Town win - 13/10

Draw - 2/1

Cardiff City win - 12/5

Huddersfield Town welcome back Aaron Mooy, who was absent for the birth of his son last weekend.

Fellow midfielder Jonathan Hogg could feature after overcoming a hip issue, while Danny Williams and Mathias Jorgensen are also in contention.

Cardiff City winger Junior Hoilett should be available despite being substituted against Newcastle because of a groin strain.

Midfielder Aron Gunnarsson is still out with a knee injury.

Hope they're still hurting from the City game, reckon we could steal a win away if we can just get scoring.

Huddersfield just missed a sitter

NML injured! Paterson on in place, Huddersfield forced to sub their keeper too.

What is it with officials and rugby tackling in box saw it several times last night just saw it by hudd player on city one and sfa done about it is there a directive to ignore it?

Breath? Trying to stay awake poor Tommo on Ssn is suffering as its his game to comment on! Sorry we are awful can't keep ball can't pass more than once, at least we've had 2 shots on target!

Solid at the back so far, great defensive unit, need something going forward, NW be the happier manager

Sounds like it's just as we were in the Championship then We'll grind them down and win it

We are terrible.

Confused as to why Patterson has been brought on ahead of Reid, looked lost when he’s come on the last two games, I don’t think he offers us much at this level

HT = 0-0 .

Well could do just that as cannot be as bad 2nd half could we? We need more connection between Ken and midfield he cannot do it alone. half time now

We are terrible.

Huddersfield definitely passing it better than us. But they haven't had a decent attempt yet.

One of the worst first halfs of football I have ever witnessed both sides were poor in the final third, c'mon city they are there for the taking!!

It is what it is, but it's poor. I get other teams have better players but I feel like we have followed on from the end of last season where our whole game is about stopping the opposition then hoping for a free kick or corner. We could have Ronaldo upfront today and it wouldn't make any difference. Need much more from the wide players.

We are sticking to NW's game plan no doubt, frustrating them, maintaining a shape, just need to win the ball and break more effectively and we can be a threat

Not a classic.

Just no connection between the midfield and Ken, even when Ken as possession he's got no one to pass to

Best work out wide is Ken scraps is an understatement.

Not a classic.

Any neutral crazy enough to be watching this stream will be picking another game for the second half
