The result leaves the Terriers lying 20th in the Championship table, and they're still looking to secure their safety in the competition for another season with just two matches of the 2020/21 campaign left to play.
Speaking after the defeat, Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan didn't hold back in his criticism of his side's efforts, and stated: "Very negative performance in a lot of moments of the game. Very negative result.
“Very disappointing feeling because we wanted to come here and get the points that were necessary to hit our target (safety). We didn’t do it.
“We started really badly, conceded two goals we had to avoid. We finished with a little better feeling in the last minute of the first half. After, we wanted to go for the game, take some risks and attack more because we knew the most important thing for us was to try and go for the three points.”
Meanwhile, Meanwhile, fellow Yorkshire's second-tier side Barnsley secured their play-off spot, while Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday both lost, as the relegation battle looks set to go down to the wire.
