Commentary By

16:53

Great result!

FULL TIME! Come on!

We've won away! Brilliant win, as Callum Wilson returned and scored the opener, before he layed on a superb pass for Fraser to score the second!

The players are delighted with that on the pitch - that result is big!

90'

Third sub...

Joshua King has put in a real shift again.

He's replaced by Lys Mousset for the closing exchanges.

Just as Mousset comes on, the referee says there's three minutes to be added. SEE IT OUT!

88'

SHOULD BE THREE!

What a pass by Fraser!!!

He's on the left and swings in a PERFECT left-footed cross for King who is unmarked!

He showed great pace to get in at the back post, but he JUST put it wide!

86'

How on earth has that not gone in!

A free-kick is whipped in by Fraser, it's cleared off the line then King has three touches pretty much on the line and somehow Huddersfield clear!

Not sure how that didn't go in for a third!!!

85'

Five minutes to go...

We're keeping it calm, not panicking, just clearing any danger into touch.

Keep it going lads!

80'

10 minutes to go...

Nothing silly here lads!

We do look comfortable as I've repeated time and time again, but again, we have to be wary.

Barring anything sloppy, we SHOULD be on for our first away win since October!

77'

Love it lads!

75'

Chance!

Almost three!

King once again, devastating pace - he steams past his man on the right and pulls the ball back - he had Wilson, Solanke and Fraser with him - he opted for Wilson!

Unfortunately, Wilson fluffed it in the area, almost three!

73'

He's been so good today!

72'

Unlucky!

King wreacking havoc!

He carries the ball 40-yards at great pacer, with Solanke and Wilson running off him!

He threads an almost superb ball in behind for Solanke to put past the keeper, but it's JUST too heavy! Close to a certain goal!

67'

Save!

King denied!

He shifted it onto his right foot outside the box and smashed a low one which Lossl parried!

Seconds later, Solanke got free in the area and laid it off to Clyne who blazed over.

The second goal has knocked the atmosphere out of the crowd.

66'

YES YES YES!

BRILLIANT WORK!

King gets Wilson in behind the defence and he's well stood up.

But he shows tremendous vision to pull it back to Ryan Fraser at the back post who finishes well to make it two inside the area!

It's one of those passes where the whole crowd can see it, but Wilson couldn't - somehow he picked it out. 

A top top assist!

Love it - 2-0!!!

66'

GOALLLLLL!

FRASERRRRRRRRRRR!

65'

Brooksy coming off...

Not good!

He went down innocuously and is making way now, hopefully it's not too serious.

But a great chance here for Dominic Solanke to come on and make an impact.

He'll go up top and King shifts to wide right.

60'

The game is on a bit of an edge here...

An hour gone and Huddersfield look much more dangerous in this half.

They're breaking well but haven't created anything clear cut.

But at 1-0, you're never safe. We need a second, otherwise we could be punished.

The crowd are starting to stir and we're having to be much more alert at the back.

57'

Terrible tackle...

Fraser plays the ball and so, so late, Jon Gorenc Stankovic wipes him out with a very poor tackle.

The ball had gone well before, that is very late.

The boss and JT weren't happy with that!

53'

In control of the game again....

51'

Big chance!

For us!

King gets into plenty of room on the right and has Wilson at the back post screaming for a cut back and a clear shot on goal unmarked!

King delays, and his eventual cross towards Wilson is just cleared!

50'

Five minutes into the half...

Huddersfield having a little spell.

The fans are behind them, but we're defending stoutly.

Not clear chances yet for them.

46'

Back underway...

Huddersfield kick off and we'll attack towards their main stand.

You get the feeling, (if the half is the same as the first) then with a tad more quality in the final third we'll get a couple more goals.

Let's go lads!

47'

HALF TIME

So far, so good.

Oh, and the salute is back!

Callum Wilson's chested goal on his return is enough at half time, but you feel if we flip the switch, we could get plenty more chances in front of goal here.

A confident assured display so far, at half time, it's 1-0 to the good.

UP THE CHERRIES!

45'

Clyne is now on...

Smithy is off unfortunately.

He immediately clutched his hamstring after sprinting.

Not a bad replacement to bring on at all though in Nathaniel Clyne!

Hope it's not too serious for Smith.

42'

Adam Smith is down...

He sprinted for the ball, and just went down clutching his hamstring.

He's clearly not fir to continue and Nathaniel Clyne will come on.

40'

Decent chance!

Brooks has pinged a delightful ball over the top for King who's drifted unmarked onto the left!

It's superb, perfect for King, but instead of taking it into the area he shoots first time on the volley but pings it wide!

38'

If only!

37'

Elias Kachunga booked...

As Fraser broke on the left-hand side again, he was just chopped down by Kachunga.

We're keeping the home side at arm's length and look comfortable.

Things can change very quickly, but we look more likely to get the second.

30'

Huddersfield fans getting on their team's back now...

They haven't shown an awful lot of quality in the final third (don't want to jinx it!)

But the fans are growing frustrating now with their attacking output.

For us, our fans are loving it! When Brooks, Fraser, King and Wilson play like this, it's so crucial for the team. They're not even at their best yet!

29'

Agreed!

28'

Look at this photo and try not to smile!

24'

A great photo!

Chest and in!

His 50th league goal for us!

25'

Dare I say it...

... we look comfortable!

Since the goal we've been calm on the ball and the home side haven't really had a sniff.

It's the same game plan, be patient and unleash the quality of the front four when we can.

They've been very lively so far!

20'

ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING!!!

SO QUICK ON THE BREAK!

Some absolutely superb play from back to front, Daniels played a superb pass in between the lines to Brooks and we were away!

He slid another brilliant pass through to Fraser on the left and he sprung like a leopard into the area!

His delivery is absolutely superb and Wilson was there at the back post to finish with his chest!

1-0 - brilliant brilliant goal!

20'

GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

HE IS BACK!

CALLUM WILSON!!!!!

15'

Watching on...

14'

Save!

Great chance!

Brooks, Fraser, King and Wilson all touch the ball and play some lovely stuff towards the final third!

Fraser eventually gets five yards of space and threads Wilson in behind in the box!

He's on his favoured right foot, blasts it, but it's quite central - Jonas Lossl still has to parry it away!

Big opportunity for the opener!

09'

Good counter!

Again from us!

Joshua King won the ball in our half and held it up well.

He drove forward and threaded a ball into Fraser on the left. His pace took him near the penalty area, he's very wide and crosses low for Wilson!

It's just a yard away from the frontman in the box, but another positive break with great speed.

07'

First save for Boruc...

Quite a routine one in all fairness.

A silly foul meant that the Terriers had a free-kick just outside the box at an angle on the left-side.

Aaron Mooy swung it with his right-foot towards goal, 25-yards out, but Artur Boruc was able to punch it away.

First save of the game.

05'

Big breakaway!

Jefferson Lerma is back!

He nicked the ball high up the pitch from Phillip Billing and in the area, he tried to pass the ball on to the unmarked Brooks for a clear shot at goal but it just didn't get through!

Unlucky, almost a clear opportunity for us early on!

04'

A lovely corner routine!

Almost pays off!

Ryan Fraser and Charlie Daniels combined and Fraser fizzed a ball into Brooks near the edge of the area!

He's in the box but just can't catch a clean volley into the net!

Really clever play from everyone involved - unlucky!

01'

Let's go!

In our red and black, we kick-off.

Attacking towards our tremendous travelling support in this first-half.

Come on lads - a big game here today!

14:58

Gareth Southgate is in the building...

Sitting around three seats away from us.

Here to watch Callum Wilson obviously.........

We've got a bad record whenever he's watched us, including Burnley away this season!

Let's hope the lads can put on a show for him to persuade him ahead of the upcoming friendlies.

14:56

The teams are out...

Let's go!

The lads are out of the tunnel and ready to go!

A couple of minutes to go as the handshakes are underway...

14:50

One for the FPL fans amongst you!

14:47

In from the warm ups!

And the sun is out!

I know it's only a warm up but as I mentioned in the previous post, the lads looked very good.

A big game coming here, we have to avenge last year's 4-1 defeat.

Almost time!

14:40

I tell you what...

The lads are on absolute fire in the shooting drill!

Goal after goal - Brooks, Wilson, Fraser and King all finishing for fun!

Hopefully a sign of things to come!

14:34

Head to head...

Today is the 50th League meeting between clubs but only the fourth in the top division.

The game earlier in the season was a bizarre one, Huddersfield dominated the ball but we won 2-1 at home thanks to Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser's goals.

We have won six of the last nine League games with Huddersfield, including the first day of the historic 2014/15 campaign when Callum Wilson bagged twice here.

Both Premier League games were home wins last season - let's hope it's an away one today!


14:15

Pre-match interview...

Chris Mepham is our player this week to speak to the press before the game.

Already a mature head on young shoulders, the Welsh international had this to say: "At this stage of the season every game is important but today even more so. We want a win."

Go on, Meps!

14:08

One to watch...

The most expensive Australian player of all time.

Aaron Mooy caused us all kinds of problems the last time we were at the John Smiths's Stadium. In fact, that was the date of his last Premier League assist.

Mooy's creativity and delivery will be a huge weapon that the Terriers will look to use to their advantage, he's now six games into a return from a knee injury.

14:00

CONFIRMED!

Welcome back, Callum Wilson!

Missing for our last six Premier League games, he returns straight to the starting line up.

Elsewhere, Nathaniel Clyne drops to the bench, with Adam Smith in his favoured right-back role and Charlie Daniels returning to left-back.

No Dan Gosling again today.

UP THE CHERRIES! 

13:44

15 minutes until team news...

Callum Wilson HAS TRAVELLED.

We've just seen him as the lads inspect the pitch here, where for some bizarre reason it's now blazing sunshine!

We saw Wilson, but didn't see Dan Gosling... Full team news to come in 15 minutes.

13:25

Margaret - we love the positivity!

13:24

Let's hope so Stuart!

13:18

Should results go our way...

We could move up to 11th place.

We'd need a 15 goal swing to have a chance of going up to tenth! But we could go up a place with victory today...

13:04

Roughly an hour 'til team news...

And we could be welcoming Callum Wilson back.

Our top scorer has returned to training, with the manager saying he will make a late call on the frontman.

Jefferson Lerma is back after a two-game ban but Junior Stanislas and Steve Cook remain out.

For the Terriers, Laurent Depoitre is a doubt while Demeaco Duhaney, Adama Diakhaby and Isaac Mbenza are all sidelined.

Full team news at 2pm announced here first!

12:51

Brooksy is back...

What a season he has had.

David Brooks, only 21, has tore up the Premier League this season.

He's plundered six goals and four assists in the top flight this campaign and in every game which he has scored in, we have won (five)!

Only two other players aged 21 or under have 10+ goal involvements this season and Brooks is in good company, with Marcus Rashford and Richarlison the other two.

He played 75 minutes against Manchester City last weekend, so let's hope he's back to his best this afternoon!

12:40

As for us...

The away day woes are all the manager was asked about at his press conference this week.

We've lost last 9 PL away games – conceding 28 goals in the process.

It's been a long and agonising run away from home, one which the manager and team are fully aware of.

Our last away win was against Fulham at Craven Cottage, here's to more of the same from that day today!

12:33

Well said Edward!

12:25

Goals may not be flowing this afternoon...

Goalscoring has been a problem for Huddersfield this season.

In their last eight Premier League games, they've only scored twice.

On top of that, they've only scored more than once in just one of their last 39 games in the top flight.

The threat is there for us all to see though, as eight of their 15 Premier League goals have been scored from set pieces.

While their goalscoring woes have been well documented, we have to stay strong at the back, particularly with their physical and direct style.

12:14

Not with us today, but following these updates I'm sure!

12:08

What can we expect from the hosts today?

Well, they're not on a great run.

The Terriers are bottom of the Premier League by three points and are adrift of safety by 13 points.

Their bad start obviously gave them a bad footing this season, they didn't win in their first ten Premier League games, and have only won once in their last 16.

The formbook indicates a Cherries win, but it really is never that easy.

Hopefully we can capitalise and end our own poor form away from home!

11:59

Welcome...

It's wet, it's windy... welcome to the north!

We're the first here at the John Smiths's Stadium for a big away game in the Premier League.

The lads are keen for a result and hopefully they can return home with three massive points.

You can follow all the action before, during and after the game LIVE here with audio commentary during the game and text updates here.

We've got you covered, up the Cherries!
