Huddersfield Town boss Darren Moore was left frustrated by a lack of ruthless edge in front of goal against Blackburn Rovers.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's side had to settle for a third draw of the season after a 1-1 stalemate at Ewood Park. Rovers started the brighter and took an early lead through Adam Wharton.
But instead of capitalising on the momentum that generated, they allowed Huddersfield back into the game and conceded from a Michal Helik set-piece header.
From then, Rovers dominated the ball but struggled to break down Huddersfield's low block. The Terriers counter-attacked well and had the next three big chances of the game, all of which could and maybe should have resulted in goals.

That left Moore leaving Ewood Park with a sense of what might have been with Huddersfield desperate for points to stay in the Championship this season.
“I’ve got no problem with the boys, in terms of the performance,” Moore told BBC Radio Leeds. “The team’s in a good place, in terms of the performance that we’ve been doing, it’s just capitalising and fashioning those chances, and taking them.
“Today, we had to be patient. Our work was good off the ball because we had to be. Blackburn are a good team, we know with their possession stats what they can do, and they’re quite creative with the team, but I thought defensively we did well.
“Probably the frustrating point was in terms of the clear-cut chances that we had today, we could’ve capitalised more on them, and I thought we would’ve done really, but they went wayward today.
“This team’s been against some adversities this season, and that was certainly one today (the opening goal) where they could’ve gone on the back foot, but they never, and responded really, really well, and as I said fashioned some wonderful chances in the game.
“They’re disappointed in there that we didn’t come here and get the three points, it’s the right mindset and mentality for where they want to be.”
