Kamil Grabara is getting a taste of his first experience of English football and so far it has been a harsh lesson for the young goalkeeper.

How is he doing?

The Polish keeper joined Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan in the summer and although he hasn't missed a minute in the league so far, he would have been hoping for a better experience.

The Terriers have continued the form which saw them slump to relegation from the Premier League last season and so far have failed to register a win in the Championship, and were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League One Lincoln.

Grabara has remained first choice in the opening weeks, maintaining his place under the caretaker management of Mark Hudson following the sacking of Jan Siewert.

Now, Danny Cowley has taken the reigns at the John Smith's Stadium, so there will be a new man for Grabara to impress, and in order to do so he will have to improve his own form, and that of the defence in front of him.

Difficult circumstances

In his six league games the 20-year-old has failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding 11 goals as Town have slumped to five defeats from six.

His debut didn't go according to plan and he and his team have failed to recover since. A rash decision saw him come out to clear the ball, only to find the feet of Derby's Tom Lawrence who subsequently lifted the ball over him and into the back of the net.

It has been a tough baptism of fire, therefore, for the Reds keeper, but experiencing a dressing room low on confidence could help to build his character and his mentality, particularly once he learns what is needed to overturn bad form.

There have been positives, however, with the Polish U21 international making an average of three saves per game, whilst he has proven capable with the ball at his feet with a short pass success rate of 96%.

He has shown a calmness at times which is impressive for a keeper so young, making an average of eight successful distributions. If Cowley can install some confidence in him and the rest of the defence there should be an improvement, and if he can get some clean sheets under his belt he will begin to make an impression on the staff at Liverpool.

Huddersfield were promoted from the Championship in 2017 with the Reds' Danny Ward featuring 46 times between the posts. His form earnt him a multi-million pound move to Leicester, and Grabara will likely be using his success as a goal to work towards.
