He asked for more intensity and a higher tempo, and he got both - they just could not sustain it. They ran out of steam during the second half, and were forced so far back they were basically sitting on the edge of their own box.

Most of their second-half attacks were lone runners into a channel and they obviously threatened a lot less.
Huddersfield Town will host Wigan Athletic for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Huddersfield have highly variable results. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize on their advantage at home stadium. On the other hand Wigan will try to provide a strong resistance. Wigan are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Perhaps, the visitors will try to return unbeaten in this game. They will probably try to try all three points or even one point. My pick - Huddersfield Town to win.

West Brom just have to improve their form or they could be pipped for automatic promotion.
