I'd make 2 changes (not half time, during second half). Giles on for McCallum to try to force Pipa back a bit with pace. Biamou for Allen to give a bit more presence up front later on. Not been bad so far. Even game.
Let’s see if Robins is feeling brave and go on the attack in the second half. Walker needs Max up front.
Fairly even but Huddersfield had majority of possession. Walker isolated. Both teams should have scored. Both teams look decent with the ball. Huddersfield pressing higher than we are.

In this game, he's been one of the main threats. Solid defensively, too.
Think Giles is unlucky but, on the basis of this match, it's the right decision to start McCallum.
Reckon it should be Max for Allen at half time. Walker is struggling against them on his own and apart from the one strike on goal, Allen's done a lot of running with little result.
So so for me. We’ve played better but we’ve also played much worse. They should be in front though.
I actually think Allen has looked smart, and lively, and picks a good pass.
I think we're doing ok, kept them to one real chance and had our own openings. The key to winning this is if we can get Dabo going down the right, Hamer playing well and running at them exploiting the space behind their press. All to play for.
Pipa lucky not to have been booked for persistent fouling of McCallum in the first 15 mins.
Let’s hope it’s one of those games where we keep it tight and defensive first half, and second half we ease off the brake and play more offensively.
We’re good enough to compete and expose their defensive vulnerabilities, while maintaining a solid defence.
Sheaf has been too quiet thus far, and I’d like to see more from Dabo. Walker isn’t in the game enough but not sure if that’s him or the formation.
Allen seems to be playing as part of a flat three as opposed to alongside COH.
I would like to see Giles around 60 minutes to expose their RB. And Biamou to move up to two up front around the same point.

Allen played well I thought, not sure if taking a midfielder off is the best idea atm...
I'm not actually sure in my own mind how to get us on top here... In my head it's to go 4 accross the middle to nullify their wide play...
Difficult, they're a half decent side
Pipa good going forward, but vulnerable as a defender. Hamer's ball to O'Hare - looked onside to me. They don't look much cop up front, but then we can't get Walker in the game. Take a point still, Could go either way. Wish we could get a couple of set pieces for Hamer/Osti.
There is a huge confirmation bias against him, he's good at making angles for us to pass through the middle, as is Sheaf. Neither rated by the SBT hordes
But you'd have to sacrifice a midfield player against one of the top possession teams in the country - potentially suicidal.
Keep it tight like we generally have so far, can go 2 up top later on if needed.
