Carlos Corberan's tactical tweaks fail to pay off as Huddersfield Town fall short at Wembley

So close yet so far away. Huddersfield Town's promotion dreams are over after Nottingham Forest edged a tight, scrappy Championship play-off final.

Levi Cowill's 43rd minute own goal was enough to condemn Town to another year in the second tier. The Chelsea loanee turned in James Garner's cross into his own net.

The Terriers huffed and puffed after the break but failed to test Brice Samba or substitute goalkeeper Ethan Horvath. It was not to be Carlos Corberan's team, who had two huge penalty shouts turned down.

Here are five talking points after today's Wembley clash.

Sorba Thomas coming back into the starting XI was always on the cards. The Wales international has been one of the standout performers in the Championship this season.

But few would have predicted Corberan selecting Naby Sarr at centre-back and leaving out Jon Russell in midfield. Given Corberan has tinkered with his team throughout an extraordinary campaign, we should have known better!

The tactical reshuffle meant Jonathan Hogg moved into midfield to partner Lewis O'Brien. Did the personnel changes and tweaks pay off? Town matched Forest up and lined up in a 3-4-3 shape.

But Forest had the better of the opening 45 minutes. Town set up to contain rather than make things happen. They were too passive and showed Forest far too much respect.

Colwill's 43rd minute own goal was an absolute sucker-punch for Town. Had they gone in at half-time level, it would have potentially allowed them to reset and regroup.

After good hold up play from Keinan Davis, James Garner fizzed the ball into the box. Jack Colback cleverly ducked and Colwill turned the ball into his own net under
