What do MK Dons and Millwall fans think of Kasumu and Mahoney signing for Huddersfield Town?

Huddersfield Town made their first signing of the summer fairly early and we’ve had to wait a seeming eternity for them to announce their second and third signings of the summer. But we’ve finally made a couple of acquisitions and I have something to write about! So I’ve pushed aside my plans to write an investigative piece about Mick Wadsworth's disastrous time in Africa and instead I’ve looked into what our new signings fans really think about them. In case you didn’t pick up the news yesterday, Town signed David Kasumu and Connor Mahoney yesterday. Both were free agents but as Kasumu is only 22 years old we have had to pay compensation to MK Dons for his development (someone on Twitter guessed £60,000 - which seems low but not crazy). I’ve waded through the online com...

My 9 favourite tweets from Town’s win against Bristol City

Social media

There were plenty of interesting tweets shared online after Town's victory against Bristol City on Saturday. Here are a few of my favourite ones. Steven Chicken has a go at a dizzy penalty https://twitter.com/JalehLShoghi/status/1522917017241718786 Fair play to Examiner writer, Steven Chicken, for having a go at a dizzy penalty at half time. While his execution wasn't the best, I doubt Mel Booth would have done the same in his heyday. You can read Steven's write up of the experience on the Examiner website, including a veiled threat to puke up on a fan. Nigel Pearson is generous with his praise for Town https://twitter.com/Cathalg56/status/1522951302896132102 He's usually a bit of a grump but Nigel Pearson was very generous in his praise for Town in his post-match c...

The 8 best tweets from Huddersfield Town’s thrilling late win against Cardiff

Matches, Social media

Town continued their incredible unbeaten run with a very late win at Cardiff on Tuesday night. These moments don't come along often so it's no surprise that many fans took to social media to savour the moment. Here are a few of my favourite tweets about this memorable victory. Chris Green offers to do Carlos' laundry! https://twitter.com/htafcChris1994/status/1496953105979621377 Corberán is usually so intense on the touchline but it's unusual to see him celebrate like this, which is why this knee slide makes me smile so much. I get fed up of managers pretending they're not bothered when their team scores, much better to join in the celebrations. Thankfully he wasn't wearing his cream chinos as grass stains can be pretty hard to get out of light coloured fabric. Sorba Thomas ...

My 9 favourite tweets about Town’s incredible victory over Fulham

Matches, Social media

The victory against Fulham on Saturday felt like a defining moment of our season. Up until this game I'd been quite sceptical about Town's chances of sustaining a playoff push into the closing stages of the season but now I'm starting to believe. I'm not the only one either, as many fans and people connected to the clubs took to Twitter to celebrate the victory. Here are eight favourite tweets from the weekend. Carlos puts out a rare tweet https://twitter.com/CarlosCorberan/status/1495088372351741956 Carlos has tweeted just twice during his time as Town manager before the above tweet, so it shows that he thought things was a significant moment. I didn't know he was on Twitter at all and I was even more surprised to see that he actually follows the TerrierSpirit.com Twitter a...

How Huddersfield Town’s players reacted to the Millwall victory on social media

Matches, Social media

One of the best parts of Huddersfield Town's success under David Wagner was the "Wagner wave" when the players and coaches celebrated wins with the fans at the end of the game. Other teams' fans mocked us for doing it but it always felt like a special moment when everyone came together after a victory. Unfortunately the current circumstances mean that fans can't celebrate in person with the team, so it's nice to see them sharing their delight at the win on social media. Here are a few of yesterday's social media posts from the players. Harry Toffolo's big achievement https://twitter.com/Harry_Toffolo/status/1322585813151002626 It's incredible that Toffolo has managed to put together such a great run of games. With so much squad rotation and how easy it is to pick up injuries...

Huddersfield Town players post social media updates following Swansea victory

Social media

The spirit within the team was obvious for all to see in the game against Swansea yesterday, with Huddersfield Town's players showing a togetherness that suggests the squad are starting to bond into a team. There was further evidence of this online, as the players took to social media to savour the victory. Frazier Campbell sees the funny side of things https://twitter.com/FraizerCampbell/status/1317498994935955456 One of the team's jokers, Campbell shared a picture someone had made to make fun out of the way he jumped out of the way of Koroma's goal-bound shot (the picture and Hoggy's response can be seen below). The mini-Messi comment, I'm guessing, refers to Toffolo's continual popping up in the penalty area and coming very close to scoring two yesterday. Man of th...

Huddersfield Town fan creates beautiful portraits of the squad

Social media

While many Huddersfield Town fans have spent the international break reading endless articles about transfer gossip, one instead chose to use the down time between games to create some amazing works of art. The owner of the East Anglian Terriers Twitter account has put together portraits of the current Huddersfield squad and they're pretty special. Take a look below: Ben Hamer I particularly like how this one captures the haunted look in his eyes. The kind of look you only get after you've accidentally chucked the ball into your own net. (In fairness, he's been good so far this season but it's hard not to make cheap jokes.) Ryan Schofield Despite having thumbs made of polystyrene, Schofield looks pretty happy in this pic. The colours are all mostly within the lines too. Top work. Joel Pe...

Huddersfield Town FIFA 21 player rankings – Best XI, who’s underrated, who’s overrated and what is says about our squad

Opinion, Social media

I’d like to start by saying that I’m fully aware that this article is not for everyone. If you’re not interested in the FIFA 21 player ratings for Huddersfield Town’s squad then that’s fine, just don’t read on. We all know the ratings made up by a video games company don’t have any effect on reality (although I’ll come back to this later) so this article is really just a bit of fun and might be interesting to those people that are curious about how the geeks at EA have rated our current squad. If nothing else, at least its not another article speculating about Karlan Grant's future. In case you’re not familiar with how FIFA works, each player is given an overall rating out of 100 with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo getting scores in the 90s and Bradford City players being in the 40s and ...

8 of the best tweets following Town’s draw with Rotherham

Social media

Here's a quick round up of some of the best tweets about Saturday's last-minute draw against Rotherham. Joy and desolation captured in one image https://twitter.com/SkyBetChamp/status/1312427443597307906 I love this picture as it really sums up how football is often a zero-sum game - your moment of exhilaration and joy is coming at the expense of the other team's dismay and frustration. When you're used to being on the other side of that transaction it becomes even sweeter to snatch a point when it looked like all was lost. Retired blogger gives Rotherham some credit https://twitter.com/JohnInGlenavy/status/1312422771968937985 John, who used to run the TerrierBlog website, gave Rotherham the credit they deserved and attracted some stick from fellow Town fans. I thou...

Huddersfield Town players respond on social media to 1-0 victory over Forest

Social media

Huddersfield Town won their first game of the season last night and their players took to social media to celebrate. Now we're not able to celebrate victories in the stadium together, these messages online feel more important. With that in mind, here are the posts from the boys following the first three points of the season. Romoney Crichlow expresses his pride https://twitter.com/rcrichlow_/status/1309609319059644417 What a great performance from a young lad on his Championship debut. He looked at home on the left side of central defence and I can see Naby Sarr having to push hard to overtake him in the pecking order. Koroma blames Forest keeper for keeping out his effort https://twitter.com/longlivejk11/status/1309630210048917505 Koroma was one of our standout ...
