Huddersfield strikers, Josh Koroma and Danny Ward, are out with hamstring injuries. Their goalie, Ben Hamer, was taken off halfway during their 5-0 defeat. Think their manager (ex-Leeds asst, Carlos Corberan) shuffled up his lineup for that game due to fixture congestion issues. So I don't know how much we can read into that 5-0 hammering they suffered. Every team is facing the same toll of injuries/fatigue due to this pileup in fixtures. Hope we can nick it 1-0 and keep the unbeaten run going. Kelly will be a big miss, but hopefully the rest of the team now knows how to manage games better and has a little more confidence in themselves.

With no Kelly our midfield opens up and they will be able to go straight through us like other teams did before he came into the team. I don’t have much faith in Sheaf who was poor yesterday.

Surely the fact we had a long break before the season and have one of the youngest teams in the league is going to start being an advantage at some point

Yes and no. Issue is the sheer amount of games we are playing each week which is causing more injuries than normal in a season. Every club including us are suffering from it.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Didn't we play these in a behind closed doors pre-season friendly earlier this year (think Juggy went to it)?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Players are being run into the ground with this volume of fixtures. Should have accepted a late finish to this season which could steadily have been caught up with over time rather than forcing through a finish at the normal time.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Watched the highlights of their game yesterday and the way they let Stanislas waltz through them was criminal. They looked shite in defence, yes Bournemouth are good but they still gave them far too much time and space.

 

[Mcbean]

One would assume MR would be looking for a good result after his time there ?

Ooh contentious.

So they should delay the euros to fit our season in? All teams have the same schedule so hardly a disadvantage to anyone

No reason why not, at all. Next season could start a month later OR they could have put more fixtures in March (currently 5) and April (currently 6) rather than have 8 in December.
More fans likely in midweek Spring matches also.

I think there is 1 goal in this game and I am not confident

I think there will be 2 goals in it, one at each end of the pitch.

It’s the players’ health I’m more thinking about

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

There may be a bit of a backlash from them given their poor result whereas i'm hoping we're not complacent from what was a quite poor performance but a win.

Instinct tells me we should go 2 up top for this - Biamou in for Shipley - but I'm most concerned about the the loss of Kelly. Sheaf isn't the same player and seemed quite rusty. Might be one of those players that needs to be playing regularly to keep his standards up. Tempted to bring Giles on on the left.

Hopeful of a win but not expecting it. Would be disappointed if we lost though.

Any word on Kelly yet ?

Hopefully it’s a tight one nothing more

I fear it’s not. Must be so frustrating as it was bound to happen with all the games

Yeah 2 a week mate but we can’t really rest him as sheaf doesn’t seems to have for cold again

The euros are next summer. This season cannot go on beyond current fixed date.

Google translate.....

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Huddersfield like to play out from the back, so we need to press them, as apparently they give away a few chances through this (sound familiar?)

 

[Johhny Blue]

If Max scores it for some it wont count at all

Would it still be important?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Surely the fact we had a long break before the season and have one of the youngest teams in the league is going to start being an advantage at some point

But aren’t they growing older as the season progresses?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Hamer first half and Max 2nd 2-0

 

[Johhny Blue]

Groin

Yes. That Kelly

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Pretty good sides do not lose 5 nil.

Or 3-1 then

 

[Deleted member 2477]

And the third.

which ever team scores more than the other will win. unbeaten run comes to an end on this one Im afraid. Going for 0-2 and a penalty to them for the second

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Or 3-1 then

They’ll be a reaction and it will be start the 11 that aren’t injured for us so 1-1

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I hope O’hare, Sheaf and Hamer will play well if they do we will because the game will be won in the midfield

 

[mrtrench]

What a bigoted and bourgeois way to look at the game.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think it would be sensible to play 3412
Wilson
Osti Fadz Rose
Dabo Hamer Sheaf McCallum
O’hare
Walker Biamou

I reckon 1-0 either way if we win Walker will score if not they will score a penalty

It could have been put back a month if sense had prevailed. No dates are 'fixed' or sacred - that is a choice and a poor one.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Taking one result in isolation isn’t the best way to judge a team, luckily we have a league table which puts them above us.

Draw will be a good result
