[Eddie1363894574]

Rovers controlled possession in the first half, but neither side has managed to put themselves in front and the match is goalless at the break. Rovers went closest through Rhodes and looked dangerous when getting the ball out wide and putting crosses into the Huddersfield box, but so far Smithies and Kean have been relatively untested in their respective goals.

The match got off to an even start, but Rovers soon hit their stride and began to control the match. King, Cairney and Spurr all put testing balls into the Huddersfield box, but despite a number of half-chances the home side has been unable to find the net. Rhodes went closest to giving Rovers the lead when he slid in to make contact with King's cross, but the ball went narrowly wide of the post after rebounding off Smithies. As the half wore on, the match was played almost entirely in the Huddersfield half, but Rovers have been unable to turn their dominance into goals.

It has been an encouraging performance from Rovers and they will be eager to pick up their first win in three matches following last week's draw with Burnley and the midweek defeat at Leicester.
