Huddersfield Town: Opposition Scout Report
--
Since we last played Huddersfield (1–1 draw), Cowley has been able to bring in a couple of players to improve his squad. Chris Willock (22) has joined from Benfica on loan, Emile Smith-Rowe (19) from Arsenal on loan, Andy King (31) from Rangers and Richard Stearman (32) on a free transfer. Cowley has utilised the loan and free transfer market well to bring in experience in core positions and exciting youngsters to improve the team going forward,

As you can see, Danny Cowley has been playing a 4231. He seems to have found his favoured back line, but hasn’t found his favoured front 5 as he was regularly changing 1/2 players each match in the forward areas. Despite this, since the 2–1 victory against Bristol City, he has kept the same team for the next 2 games (with Chalobah starting for the injured Hogg). I believe this to be his strongest team.
