Should U21s play in the EFL trophy?, socks, haircuts and a mismatch – Notes on Huddersfield Town’s 6-2 win over Newcastle U21s

Matches, Notes

Huddersfield Town beat Newcastle United’s Under 21 6-2 on Tuesday night and the scoreline, if anything, flatters Newcastle United’s youngsters as it was clear from the first 30 seconds of this game that Town would be comfortable winners.

Town’s next opponents had more of a struggle in their return to the Premier League, as Newcastle United were beaten 2-0 by Spurs.
