Notes on Huddersfield Town’s commanding 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers

Matches

Huddersfield Town won 4-0 away at Bolton on Saturday. While it started out as a cagey and closely matched contest, the game ended up as one-sided as you can imagine and Town rubbed their opponent's noses in it with a display of complete dominance in the second half. A slightly unsettling and perplexing experience for a Town fan. We're used to being on the receiving end of these drubbings, not handing them out. But it was weird in a good way and while Bolton were awful once their confidence had evaporated, Town were as good as their opponent was poor and the scoreline is a fair reflection of both sides overall performances. After a run of three defeats before the international break, this game felt significant in terms of Town's momentum. Now, rather than dwelling on a few recent wobble...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI, Ladapo signing reaction, injury updates and Michael Duff’s pre-Bolton thoughts

Matches

Huddersfield Town are back in action today against Bolton Wanderers. And there may even be a fresh face up front for the Terriers. In this blog post, I'm going to talk about Town's new signing, the laundry list of injury updates that came in the pre-match presser, I'll summarise a few of Michael Duff's other comments ahead of the Bolton game and try to predict the lineup.

I'd be surprised if he's lumped in with Yaya Sonogo and Oumar Niasse as free agent signings that failed to make an impact. My genera...

Bolton away preview: Town set to play second-string in FA Cup

Matches

Town travel to Bolton for the third round of the FA Cup today. I remember when the cup was a relief from the trudge of playing in the league and a chance for glory. This season it’s a distraction. Playing in the Premier League is so entertaining the FA Cup feels a bit like a sideshow. David Wagner has consistently rotated his team for cup games during his time at Town. He argues that he does the same in the league too, but that’s usually two or three players, whereas today it is likely to be somewhere between 9 and 11 players. Goalkeeper: Joel Coleman As I’ve mentioned above, I think there will be wholesale changes for this game. Joel Coleman is confirmed to start in goal, giving Jonas Lössl a day off. From Wagner’s comments, it sounds like he’s chosen Coleman over Rob Green en...
