Neil Warnock’s side made the short trip across to Edgeley Park to take on the defeated League Two play-off finalists in the latest of their summer exhibition games

Lee Nicholls – Got caught out by a cross from deep only for the resultant goal to be ruled out for offside.

Matty Pearson – As reliable as we have come to expect on the right of the back three.

Michal Helik – Got away with a loose first-half pass that allowed Stockport to get in one-on-one with Nicholls and score only to be called offside.

Josh Ruffels – Very strong and composed showing as the left-sided centre-back in Huddersfield Town’s back three – possibly the best player on the pitch first half.

Sorba Thomas – Showed good defensive awareness on a couple of occasions to snuff out potential threats and provided a couple of inviting crosses.

David Kasumu – Combative as ever. Offered a useful option out wide by drifting wide a few times.

Rarmani Edmonds-Green – Played so deep in the midfield as to make it practically a back four at times, which in fairness may very well have been the intention.

Jack Rudoni – More noteworthy for his work off the ball that on it for much of the game, yet his effective pressing produced a goal as he won a tackle before immediately releasing Josh Koroma to score Town’s second, and he finished well off a good run for the third.

Jaheim Headley – Probably would have been sanctioned in a competitive game for absolutely clattering into his man on a 50/50 ball early on.

Danny Ward – Opened the scoring after just a few minutes by curling into the far bottom corner from just outside the box.

Josh Koroma – Went close with a couple of chances before finally finding the bottom corner to double Town’s first-half lead.

From 62 minutes:

Chris Maxwell – Came on for his Terriers debut, if it counts (it doesn’t really). Solid between the sticks.

Brodie Spencer – Took over as the right-sided centre-back with Thomas staying on at wing-back.

Loick Ayina – Nice composed work to win the ball and then feed Diarra to start the move for the fourth goal.

Yuta Nakayama – Great to see him back in action and looking in good shape. Smooth and crisp, like when you’ve not had a Dime bar for ages and then go to Ikea and remember they’re brilliant.

Sorba Thomas – The only starter to continue as the whole of the rest of the side was changed just after the hour.

Scott High – Worked hard to drive the ball forward from a deeper-sitting midfield role.

Josh Austerfield – Partnered High as the midfield triangle inverted from the starting line-up to get Brahima Diarra on as an attacking midfielder.

Pat Jones – Got more vital minutes under his belt even if they were in a wing-back role that doesn’t entirely play to his attacking strengths.

Brahima Diarra – Absolutely scintillating as he left three men in his wake before feeding Kyle Hudlin with a brilliantly-spotted and executed through ball. Shooting still erratic, mind.

Kyle Hudlin – Great run to get onto that pass and a lovely finish to the bottom corner.

Kian Harratt – Had a quieter game than some of his prior summer outings but still worked hard to create space for others.
