Few players stood out in a low-quality game, and those that did tended to for their work-rate more than their flair.

Cameron Dawson – a couple of jittery moments on his first Championship start of the season 5

Dominic Iorfa – solid performance from the centre-back 6

Michael Ihiekwe – did not look like someone who had not played since August 6

Di'Shon Bernard – like the rest of the back three, not over-taxed 6

Liam Palmer – a quiet game by the right wing-back 6

Will Vaulks – an energetic midfield display with some good set-pieces 7

George Byers – also got about well in midfield 6

Callum Paterson – worked hard as ever in a derby more about graft than guile 7

Reece James – got up and down well as left wing-back 7

Lee Gregory – charging down a Lee Nicholls kick was probably the closest a hard-working shift came to producing a chance 6

Michael Smith – did well to create a chance Paterson might have put away 6

Substitutes:

Malik Wilks (for Gregory, 61) – decent run-out from a forward who only made his first appearance in midweek 5

John Buckley (for Paterson, 77) – little opportunity to make his mark 5

Pol Valentín (for James, 85) – N/A

Not used: Diaby, Hendrick, Vasquez, Cadamarteri, Musaba, Phuthi.

Lee Nicholls – made one brave save at Smith's feet but a few shakey moments as well 6

Matty Pearson – a typical steady Pearson performance 6

Michal Helik – defended well and even made a shooting chance for himself but put it wide 7

Josh Ruffles – nothing spectacular either way before he was replaced by Tom Lees 6

Tom Edwards – got into a couple of decent crossing positions without finding the killer ball 6

Jack Rudoni – put in a good midfield shift 6

Jonathan Hogg – Huddersfield will have been pleased to have their captain back – it was his kind of game 6

Yuta Nakayama – like most, he worked hard to little effect 6

Sorba Thomas – looked the most likely creator for the Terriers 7

Delano Burgzorg – promising performance from the striker but nothing to show for it 7

Josh Koroma – missed a good chance Dawson presented to him 5

Substitutes:

Tom Lees (for Ruffles, 62) – never let anyone down after coming in cold 5

Kian Harratt (for Koroma, 66) – will be frustrated his late "goal" was disallowed 6

Ben Wiles (for Edwards, 66) – ran well from midfield 5

Brahima Diarra (for Burgzorg, 83) – N/A

Not used: Edmonds-Green, Maxwell, Headley, Hudlin, Jackson.
