Darren Moore has acknowledged that he would not ideally like to play such conservative football as his side produced against Hull City on Saturday afternoon, but hopes that getting key attack-minded players back available should mean he is able to take the handbrake off after the current international break.

Huddersfield Town named dynamic midfielder David Kasumu and winger Josh Koroma among the substitutes as both made their return to the matchday squad following injury, but neither player was introduced to the fray even after Hull's 92nd-minute winner.

Moore admitted those players were not quite ready to play at the MKM Stadium, but hopes to be able to introduce them back alongside Delano Burgzorg and Danny Ward, while influential midfielder Jack Rudoni will also eventually return from a foot injury.

Moore said: "A lot of people will probably look and see the personnel, the extra bodies that we had back on the bench, but with them only being available over the last 24 hours and having a small amount of training [on Friday], it would have been a tough ask for them to go into as high intensity game as it was.

"I suppose what the international break gives us is a good 10 or 12 days before the next fixture to get some real volume and some real training into them, and with them fit we know it gives the team a different dynamic dimension.

"I said in a week, apart from the two fit ones coming back with Kian [Harratt] and obviously our skipper, Hoggy (Jonathan Hogg)...the rest of them really would have needed more training really. So the others will get that over the international break and I'd like to think by the time we get to the next fixture that those personnel, we've got more volume in them.

"Those players, you know: Dell, Koroma, Kas...you're talking players there that are more of an attacking intent with us really in terms of going forward. We've not really had them. So with them fit it does give the team a different dimension, and they add to the group.I think the group's done fantastic without them, but make no mistake that when they are back, they just give you a different look that we've not had.

"Of course when you're going into games you want all your players fit and because it does alter and change things. But in terms of what we've had over this last week, in terms of what we had to do, we had to make sure that we had to be more solid and resolute in our game and I thought we showed elements of that."
