Huddersfield Town caretaker manager frustration almost sign off deal.

Worthington gave a very sombre farewell to Andre Breitenreiter, who was observing, following a very positive four games in interim leadership.

Worthington stated, “The game went pretty much exactly as I had anticipated. Hull is a talented squad with good players who are also well-organized.
Given Wednesday’s exertions, I believe that the energy levels weren’t quite as high in the first half.

“However, I felt like we really found our energy again in the second half, and the substitutions provided us a little bit more momentum, as I had anticipated.

To get back into the game so late on, it was a bit of a sucker-punch to lose it in the end.

These are the highs and lows; that’s the championship. This is the reason you are penalised if you cannot turn off for a moment.

“Those are the delicate lines that oppose elite teams. You are penalised.

“I feel bad for the players. Of course, the players are unhappy, but they’re a solid team, and they’ll pick themselves up on Monday and prepare for the following week.

Worthington thought that Huddersfield’s 1-0 victory against Sunderland at home over the week had an effect.

“We talked a lot about it and we prepared the players as best we could physically leading into it,” he stated.

“We anticipated that it would be somewhat similar in that we would try to stay in the game and have an effect from the bench. I felt the game proceeded as I had anticipated, which is why it’s disappointing.”

Worthington intends to return to his role as academy manager as soon as German Breitenreiter is granted a visa.
