Other than Brentford, we're the only team not have lost in the last 5 games. Decent that.

On the other hand, Huddersfield only one of 8 teams to win 3 of their last 5 games.

Going to be a tight 1-1 I reckon.

Was replying to the fact that we were the only side, apart from Brentford, to be unbeaten in 5.

Just looking on the Huddersfield board, they have an old match of the day from 1967 on there , ( city 1 hudds 0) attendance 29,600+ including a party of young supporter from Dudley who had walked the 30 miles to Highfield road starting off at midnight Friday night.

No chance on Camp.

In fairness to @Grendel on Hyam I don't think he tried to make him a boo boy, he raised a valid concern that he would be exposed at this level & tbf whilst he has generally been solid he has been beaten far too easily on more than one occasion.

In order to freshen it up I would think Giles will come in & wouldn't be overly surprised to see Walker given a breather too.

bollocks, he tried to make him his latest little target. He also did it after a game Hyam played well in.

Funny he wasn’t called Mr Clueless Negative for that despite being both when it came to Hyam

To be honest, Hyam has been very good this season. Good on the ball, no slouch and a calming presence next to Fadz who has the tendency to be rash, but who has also been excellent. Individually our defence has been top notch. A lot of our goals condeded have actually been the fault of the midfield giving the ball away. Its crazy how many goals we have conceded given the invididual peformances. We do miss marosi as part of that unit.

A win would be excellent. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster.
Can see us being a little more expansive in this one. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Giles start. Important that Hamer remains disciplined and doesn’t pick up a soft booking.

He's almost always the slowest defender to push out playing teams onside & has been easily beaten when defending 1 on 1 at times. Look at the Derby chance which hit the bar, Kazim-Richards walked round him as if he wasn't there & McCleary did the same for Wycombe on Saturday.
Also Wilson (rightly) took some criticism for the corner which flashed across goal on Saturday but Hyam could easily have headed it before but totally misjudged it.

Just to be clear, I think he's doing ok given the step up a level & looks the only CB remotely confident on his weaker side but just think many have slightly rose tinted specs to his flaws, certainly moreso than other players.
McFadzean is often labelled as error prone on here but has actually been our most consistent CB this season.

Heard Dacosta and Hillsner played for the U23s yesterday and that Hiillsner scored a 25 yard screamer from a free kick. Maybe worth having them on the bench against Huddersfield as impact subs.

Dacosta was withdrawn at half-time & will be on the bench, as he has been for the last couple, same with Kastaneer.
Too soon for Hilßner but he played the full 90 yesterday which is encouraging

By the end of play tonight we could either be sat in 14th 11 points clear of relegation, or in 19th, 5 points off relegation. Lets get 3 points lads and keep plugging away!

I think Giles will come in for McCallum, and Biamou in for Shipley.

Does anyone know if the Sky coverage is proper, full coverage? Or is it the usual midweek coverage in SD and with no replays? The fact it's not on the red button would suggest it's proper coverage, but they are also showing Reading v Norwich and thought that might get the full coverage over us.

Yes encouraging news about Hillsner. Maybe we can nick it 1-0 in stoppage time with Kastaneer sliding it in from the halfway line.

Been very impressed with McFadz.

I’d make a new CB or two priority in the summer (I’d be trying to sign Østigård as one), but would expect Fadz to challenge. Hyam is OK but I think to play three at the back at this level we need more quality. I feel the same way about the AM position and Marosi. They’re OK, but near the front of the line in terms of needing to be upgraded to get us to that next level.

Will be interesting when Rose is fit to see who if anyone drops out the team.

Back to no fans following a great turnout of 1 SBA at Last game . . Don’t know who he is but he now has the distinction of being the only away fan ever outnumbered at Wycombe.

In respect to Rose, he was not fully fit when he first played this season. We need to wait until he's fully fit and played a run of games before making an assessment of his ability to compete at this level.

I expect he’ll be first choice. Because he was last season and Robins said he was looking it in training. I agree that his games so far aren’t a judge at all. Look at how Dabo came on with a few games under his belt. He looked like he’d won a competition first game back, looking close to his best again now.

From the CT site:- Huddersfield Town are without their first choice striker and goalkeeper for the match against the Sky Blues

Welcome to our world, we've been missing ours for a month now, are they trying to drum up sympathy for t' Udders?
