Plans for left-lane Kar drive

That suggests that the Cowleys do not see Town’s issues as being about the formation as its execution. Cowley said that much of the work ahead of the Wednesday game was about defensive shape and stopping crosses coming into the box - so it will have been frustrating for them to see the Owls score both their goals through exactly that route to goal.

Chance creation will also be high on the agenda. Town have the lowest xG (expected goals) of any side in the division so far this season, which won’t come as a surprise to anyone who has watched each of the Terriers’ games.

If the Cowleys can get a few new ideas into the team in the attacking third, it could make the world of difference – one such idea is putting Karlan Grant out on the left, where Cowley says the forward did a lot of his best work at previous clubs, with Fraizer Campbell playing more of a link-up role that will see him dropping deep. Now to make sure there are sufficient options for him to actu

ally play in.

COWLEY has rejected the idea of having points targets for the coming games, saying: “We’re always proc e s s - d r i v e n, never outcome-orientated. We know the rule is that if we can start to get the process right then the outcomes start to take care of themselves, so that is always where our focus lies.”

Although many fans have been quick to point out that Town need to start getting points on the board as soon as possible, there is good reason behind this. The manager was rightly unhappy with the way the side’s energy levels dropped as the game wore on, particularly after the second goal went in, saying their thinking is too heavily If the Cowleys can get new ideas into the team in the attacking third, it could make the world

of difference
