Solid point at a top six rival, but for a poor Grant penalty it should have been the three points. With Barnsley and Luton both winning, will it cost us?
Fair result... Neither team had the quality to score today with both having excellent opportunities to win it
Felt that Grant led the line alone really well yet was extremely impressed with Hackett-Fairchild's cameo (maybe his Charlton career isnt quite done yet, especially as he'll probably be playing next Saturday if we cant find a replacement for Karlan) - Purrington had a much better game than last week and for the most part kept Marcus Maddison extremely quiet
Would have taken a point before the game because I feared how poor we'd be without Taylor. Those fears were well and truly confirmed. We desperately need another striker, as soon as went to 2 up top we dominated.
A fair few sub average performances across the park, a more clinical side would have nicked all three points off us today.
If Grant is off then what a shit performance to leave on. That penalty was so bad it was almost funny. Reeves dead ball skills left an awful lot to desired too, how many wasted opportunities to just get the ball in the box.
'Not that great' overall, will see that as 2 points dropped come the end of the season.
Is Grant really leaving though? When did he last score from open play? Do Huddersfield really think he is going to step up to the Premier league level and save them from relegation?

They just want him to help keep their unbeaten run going!
Good game that, for a nil nil. Two decent sides trying to win.
Crap pen from Grant, looked nervous, not sure it was the correct decision by the ref anyway. Ref was terrible all game though, think the booking of Williams was about the only thing he got right all match.
Williams good in patches but faded. Pratley I barely knew he was playing. Looked very disjointed first half and uncomfortable with the formation. Got on top once we changed back to the diamond and brought Reeco on. Reeco was very good, in fact. Maybe if that change had been 10 minutes earlier we’d have found the breakthrough.
Could have been more, but was not a bad result in the circumstances. Lots of games to come and still all to play for.

I think you need to look at the two penalties from this week and last.
Against Accrington he took himself completely away from proceedings and almost entered his own little world (Harry Kane does and has admitted to doing exactly the same), this week he stood around the penalty area and was letting little pricks like Toney get inside his bloody head

Great that Roland, generous fool that he his, backed Lee immediately who swooped for an excellent replacement/backup for our suspended talisman Taylor... 0-2 to the Addicks!
The most half assed penalty from a player who knew he was leaving
Yeah, nice one.
He's one of our own He's one of our own Karlan Grant ... We'll slag him off and crucify him because He's one of our own
I like Grant, he won us the points last week and was relatively decent on his own today
But that penalty was totally different to last weeks that he absolutely hammered in. You have to question where his head is at with the move, and in that respect it’s as much on Bowyer as it is him.

Sarr and Bielik were the standouts
(2) He's taken four penalties this season, scored three / missed one
Unfortunately wasn't our day.

Taylor's missed a few too this season too before everyone jumps down Grant's throat.
It will be a shame though if he (Karlan) leaves us with a missed penalty as our last memory of him.

What a rubbish comment and insult.
So last week he cared, this week he didn't.
Taylor can miss two penalties and no criticism but Grant misses one and he gets slagged off.
He won 2 points for us last week with pen,
this week the miss costs us 2 points.
It's footballs rollercoaster.
Can't see how an away draw is a bad result against a team in top 6.
Oh, sorry that's in another parallel universe!
He's one of our own
Karlan Grant ...

Reeeeeco. Was surprised how good he looked. Skinned their left back and put in a decent cross a couple of times. Generally looked lively.
Pratley worked his socks of, but goes unnoticed a bit.
Grant tried to be clever with the pen, but the keeper called his bluff. It was never a pen btw. Happened right in front of us. It was outside the box.
Could have done with the extra points though, the way other results went.
Having slogged round the park run, the standing up was a pain tbh.
Good to meet @Bedsaddick and catch up with the Museum’s excellent historian, in the absence of the Museum’s owner.
