I'd have tried to go for the win, but would have held all the defenders back.
I definitely agree with the decision to keep the ball in the corner - for two reasons:
1) Some of Huddersfield's most dangerous attacks - including their goal - actually started from our set plays in the final third. And linked to this...
2) Remember two seasons ago v Huddersfield? We had a corner, Jay Smith trod on the ball on the edge of the box, they broke away and scored in the last minute to grab a most undeserved win.
Huddersfield are clearly a team who can be devastating on the counter-attack. When we had numbers behind the ball yesterday they struggled to break us down but when we committed men forward and our attacks broke down, they moved the ball around ominously well at times.
Ultimately, we had played with 10 men for a good 40 minutes and were knackered, mentally and physically. Point gained.
