HUGGINS TO FEATURE?


Tony Mowbray has suggested Niall Huggins may be involved at the Den, and explained the reasoning behind bringing Jenson Seelt into the side midweek...


QUESTIONS ASKED

"I understand that completely. When you lose a game, everyone can question what you do. In my role, I have to try and see the bigger picture. We're playing against a [Huddersfield] team with the second most goals from set plays in the league this season. Why wouldn't you try and bring in a 6ft 4 lad in Jenson who has shown what he can do in the Birmingham game?"


ADD SOME PHYSICALITY

"And then you have Niall, who has had huge injury issues during my time at the club. That would have been his second game of the week then rolling straight into a third, it felt like the right game to rotate and to get some more physicality into our backline at the same time. And yet I understand it [the criticism], especially as we've gone and conceded from a set play."


IMPORTANT DEFENDER

"The sad thing for me was that because of my illness, I missed the day where I would have a good chat with the players being rotated out of the team and explain my thinking. I've had a chance now to have a good chat, to tell Niall how amazing I think he's been and what a joy he is to work with. I talk about that intensity we need, he brings that in every single thing he does. He's a really important figure in our team and there's every reason to think that he'll be back in this weekend."
