Don’t panic! 5 reasons to not worry about defeat to Accrington Stanley

Matches

If you’d have told me 30 years ago that Town would lose 3-0 to Accrington Stanley one day, I’d assume you were either lying or Town had gone bust and were playing in an amateur league. Thankfully it was just a friendly game which lead to this defeat, and it’s not worth getting too upset about it. Reaction from Town fans after game was mixed.

Six things we learned from the Accrington Stanley friendly

Matches, Opinion

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. I have to confess that I'm not a big fan of pre-season friendlies, so won't be going to this game.
