Darren Moore: Huddersfield Town boss criticises side's 'appetite'

Tuesday's 3-1 defeat by Preston ended a run of four games unbeaten for Huddersfield, but they have won just two of Darren Moore's 14 matches in charge

Huddersfield Town boss Darren Moore said his team "got what they deserved" after losing 3-1 at home to Preston.

The Terriers conceded inside the opening three minutes and were 2-0 down at the break.

They are two points above the relegation zone, having played a game more than 22nd-placed QPR.

"We weren't good enough as a team. We didn't approach the game with the right appetite," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

"We got what we deserved, which is nothing from the game.

"When you start like that and perform like that it is very difficult to get anything."

Moore, who made a triple substitution at half-time against the Lilywhites, has won just two of his 14 matches in charge of the West Yorkshire side since replacing Neil Warnock in September.

Owner Kevin Nagle said earlier this month that sacking the former Sheffield Wednesday boss was "not even a consideration".

They travel to fellow strugglers Millwall on Saturday and Moore remains confident that he can turn their fortunes around.

"One hundred percent we can do it, and we will do it," he added.

"We're not happy tonight, not by any stretch, but there's still a lot of football to be played and points to be won."
