Cowley hails “important win” for Huddersfield

Boss Danny Cowley says the whole ethos at Huddersfield shone through in their vital 2-0 home win over QPR.

The Terriers recorded a crucial victory to move six points clear of the Championship relegation places.

Cowley said: “That was an important win in a tough game. We’ve had a difficult period as a club and there’s so much will inside this stadium.

“Once we scored you could feel that relief disappear and we played much better.

“We were playing into a strong wind in the first half, which made it difficult. We started well but our intensity faded after about 10 minutes.

“We showed real energy, particularly in the second half. I thought off our first goal, we became significantly more confident and that showed.”

The lively Eberechi Eze in particular was causing plenty of problems for the hosts’ defence.

Beleaguered boss Mark Warburton said: “You’ve got to take your chances and I sound like a broken record at the moment.

“We looked a very good team in the first half. We were dominant and moved the ball well, but we didn’t put it away.

“We were just a little bit toothless. It’s the same message I’m repeating in the last few weeks.

“Good teams score goals and ultimately we have to be clinical.

“For their first goal, we are attacking. We don’t track a runner and we pay the price. And the second goal is a set-piece.

“You have to demand that you work hard as a team and set standards as a squad.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
