Huddersfield Town player ratings: Fives and sixes abound as charitable Terriers are outclassed by Canaries

Huddersfield Town were swept aside 4-0 by a strong Norwich City side on a wet day in West Yorkshire.

The Terriers had actually started the game well, hitting the post inside the first five minutes, but once again they were architects of their own downfall, giving the Canaries a headstart which meant they could not catch them.
