    Since Nick Powell came on Stoke have started to move forward into more threatening areas.

    Once he gets on the ball he has the creative ability to unlock a defence.

    The key now is they have to move the ball more quickly - this is the most dangerous they've looked.

    Stoke finally threaten.

    Lewis Baker links up with Nick Powell and fires a shot at goal that Lee Nicholls comfortably fields.

    Nicholls goes down needing a bit of treatment but he should be fine.

    I'm not going to lie because I respect you too much.

    There's been nothing in this half, it's been really scrappy stuff.

    Huddersfield won't care though, they're going fifth as it stands.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke City

    Stoke make their third and final change.

    Jacob Brown is on in attack for Steven Fletcher, who has worked hard but had very little change out of the Town defenders.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke City

    Huddersfield midfielder Jonathan Hogg is... unwell.

    The experienced campaigner is off-colour so he gets a bit of water and hopefully he'll be ok.

    I'd avoid the area of the pitch he was just stood in if possible.

    Not great this.

    Stoke midfielder Mario Vrancic is helped from the field after an innocuous looking tangle with Harry Toffolo.

    Nick Powell is on in his place.

    Vrancic looks in real pain and I'm worried this could be a bad knee injury. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke City

    Ben Wilmot gets forward well for the away side and cuts inside neatly before smashing a shot goalwards.

    It's straight at Tom Lees but that's a bit better from the Potters.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke City

    Stoke want a free-kick for a foul by Danel Sinani on Joe Allen, but nothing doing.

    The Potters are rightly aggrieved as another call goes against them.

    He's not a right winger.

    A picture paints a thousand words...

    Stoke made a great start to the campaign but they're on for a fifth defeat in six right now.

    Boss Michael O'Neill made six changes from the midweek loss at Coventry but, so far, it's going the same way.

  11. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke City

    The home side start off on the front foot and Potters goalkeeper Jack Bonham is called into action to pluck a high cross out of the air.

    Sorba Thomas' pace caused the visitors real problems there.

    Huddersfield get us back under way.

    The visitors have brought on experienced Wales international Joe Allen for the booked Jordan Thompson.

    Josh Koroma's goal is the difference at the break but it's fair to say it's more than a little controversial.

    Koroma clearly went in high on Stoke defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis but the referee didn't even show him a yellow card, or indeed award a foul, and, minutes later, the former Leyton Orient man gave Town the lead with a deflected effort.

    Stoke were then denied a penalty when Tyrese Campbell went down in the area under a challenge from Tom Lees.

    Huddersfield going fifth as it stands and the Potters heading for a fifth defeat in six.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke

    Ben Wilmot is in the book for Stoke.

    He takes down Josh Koroma, who has been involved in everything this half, as he looked to break forward.

    It's fair to say the Stoke City Twitter admin has been less than impressed with events in this first half...

    For context, in order:

    1) Huddersfield winger Josh Koroma wasn't even booked for a high foot on Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

    2) Koroma then gave the home side the lead with a deflected shot.

    3) Tyrese Campbell was felled in the area but nothing was given.

    When it rains, it pours.

    The corner causes real chaos and Jack Bonham keeps it out after making a hash of the initial delivery before Danny Ward pokes an effort wide at the near post.

    A second goal for Town now would make this a very difficult proposition for Stoke.

  19. Postpublished at 36 mins

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke

    Huddersfield win a free-kick in a decent area.

    Danel Sinani's delivery is overhit but it deflects off Ben Wilmot, who is trying to get out of the way of it, and it's a corner to Town.

    Lewis Starks: That is a horrendous challenge. Stonewall red. No need for VAR - the ref had a perfect view and wasn't far away at all. How on earth he thought that was a good challenge I don't know.

    J West: He saw it clearly. Ten yards away, straight in front of him with no-one in the way. The ref is just poor, like the whole standard of refs in the country.
