Six things we learned from the Accrington Stanley friendly

Matches, Opinion

As I said in my preview of the Accrington Stanley friendly, I'm not a big fan of preseason games. I find them frustrating to watch even though I know that they're meant for building fitness rather than entertaining the crowds. Having said that, there are a few things we can take away from the game which are quite interesting. Here are six things I noticed: Embed from Getty Images Nahki Wells may have to play deeper to get game time Last night Nahki Wells played in the second-half 11, alongside Laurent DePoitre. I thought this may have represented a change in formation to accommodate two strikers but it seems that Nahki played deeper, as a number 10. He later played in central midfield when Kasey Palmer replaced Mark Hudson. I don't think he's likely to play in the midfiel...

PREVIEW: Accrington Stanley v Huddersfield Town – Pre-season friendly

Matches, News

Huddersfield Town play their first friendly of the pre-season against Accrington Stanley on Wednesday evening. It's Town's first game since their historic playoff final victory that saw them promoted to the Premier League. I suspect this game will be substantially more low-key.

Matches, Opinion

This season will see David Wagner and his team coming up against some of the best teams in club football and have to solve problems that seem impossible. Before any of that, the club have a problem to solve that's as tough as any of the tactical challenges in the Premier League. Away ticket priority. Town will receive a maximum of 3,000 tickets for away games in the Premier League next season. It seems very likely that demand will outstrip supply and some fans will be left disappointed. The dilemma for the club is how to divide the tickets up fairly. Or if some people will miss out, who is the most deserving of a place at the front of the queue? Embed from Getty Images Who are the different groups of people with a claim to priority tickets? There is a thread on Down At The Mac wh...
