The Huddersfield Town crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Wigan Athletic here at The John Smith's Stadium. Holmes, an attacker, was the best player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 7.2 (out of 10). Holmes hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 0-2 defeat away at Millwall before that.
