Huddersfield Town 1 Nottingham Forest 0 - player ratings

Although the visitors had the better first-half chances, Town deserved their win, sealed by an outstanding volley from Fraizer Campbell.

Chief football writer Stuart Rayner assess the performances of the victorious team.

Ben Hamer – two crucial first-half saves 8

Pipa – one outrageous bit of skill 7

Richard Stearman – solid and leading as always 6

Romoney Crichlow – will presumably soon make way for Naby Sarr but looked the part 7

Harry Toffolo – crossed for the goal 7

Jonathan Hogg – some good passes but another referee might have sent him off in the first minute 6

Juninho Bacuna – wasted some good late chances to make it easier on Huddersfield hearts 6

Isaac Mbenza – less influential than opposite winger Josh Koroma, but he played his part 6

Alex Pritchard – played well in the hole, finished the game as an unlikely No 9 7

Josh Koroma – a constant threat 8

Fraizer Campbell – led the line well and an outstanding goal 8.

Substitutes:

Carel Eiting (for Hogg, 43) – unprepossessing debut 6

Adama Diakhaby (for Mbenza, 66) – along with Koroma, guilty of some late misses 5

Jaden Brown (for Campbell, 81) – N/A.
