"My words to the boys in the dressing room were. ‘I can't ask for any more today but we've left two points behind.’
“We caused Huddersfield real problems and some of the football was really good to watch. We go away disappointed that we haven't won the game.”
“Huddersfield looked a bit crisper than us in the first half,” Evans said. “That comes with the freshness of not playing a few days ago.
“We defended really well – there was a great clearance off the line by Shaun McWilliams – and counter-attacked without any real quality.
“We moved two or three of the lads slightly for the second half and things opened up for us. We missed some big chances. Mallik could have had a couple of goals. He worked incredibly hard, as all the players did.
“Even before Huddersfield had a man sent off, we were the better side in the second half.
“We've pressed and pressed trying to get the winner. We've broken forward three v two and four v three but didn't bring that final bit of quality out of the locker.”
