A superb start – Notes on Huddersfield Town’s 2-0 win over Peterborough United

Matches

Huddersfield Town got off to the best possible start to life in League One with a 2-0 away win at Peterborough yesterday evening. While Town didn't have it all their way, they were worthy winners and did a particularly impressive job of seeing out the game in the second half and will perhaps wish the scoreline was more emphatic after creating several good chances to extend the lead further but not applying the finishing touch. The first game of the season always has too much importance applied to it, because football fans spend so long anticipating it but even allowing for that, the omens for Town’s upcoming season were good if this game can be used as a barometer. While Peterborough showed some impressive moments, Town weathered the storm and showed some excellent pressing play and us...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Peterborough United

Matches

Technically speaking, there wasn't a break in the football this summer, as the Euros conveniently overlapped with the start of Huddersfield Town's preseason friendlies. But even so, international tournaments and preseason friendlies are really only the equivalent of methadone to the proper football fix that club football brings, or at least that's how I feel. So it feels like it's been forever since Town left the Championship with a whimper and hopefully between the start of May and the middle of August, Town had changed from a dreadful Championship team to a top League One team. We don't know if that's the case yet but the beauty of being a football fan is that a few weeks away from watching games washes away the weariness of a relegation season and a new sense of optimism can seep in.&n...

Easy wins, swagger, playoffs, moaners, Forest overconfidence, no pressure and heavy rotation – Looking back at Peterborough and ahead to Forest

Matches

Playing on a Friday and Monday night doesn’t give much time between games, so I’m going to look back at the Peterborough game and forward to the Forest game at the same time. If the turnaround between games isn’t enough for this blogger to recover then it’s likely the same can be said of the players' legs too, so I suspect we’ll see a significantly changed team against Forest. Anyway, after a weekend of results going very well for Town, we find ourselves sat in the automatic promotion spots and one game away from a mouth-watering fixture against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter finals. So things are going incredibly well for Town at the moment. Another easy victory Just like the Birmingham game last weekend, the Peterborough game was an easy victory for the Terriers and the ...

“The Chelsea loanee needs time to adjust” – Player ratings for Town’s 3-0 win over Peterborough

Matches

Huddersfield Town extended their unbeaten run with a comfortable victory over Peterborough United last night. While there were brief moments of fight from the visitors, it was an incredibly one sided game where Town dominated throughout. Incredibly, this win took Town into the automatic promotion places for the night. While Bournemouth’s games in hand mean it’s unlikely to stay that way it is still remarkable. Carlos shuffled the pack with his selection last night and once again managed to field a team that was more than up to the job of dismantling the opposition. I can’t think of a time in recent memory when Town have had as strong a squad available. Even in the promotion season we relied on a core of twelve or thirteen players and the rest were pretty average (sorry Harry Bunn f...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Peterborough tonight

Matches

Huddersfield Town kick off a busy weekend by playing Peterborough tonight in the league before switching their attention to Forest in the cup on Monday night. Peterborough sit bottom of the league and have recently parted company with Darren Ferguson and replaced him with Grant McCann. They haven't had any signs of a new(ish) manager bounce yet, losing to Man City and Hull in their new boss’ opening two games. In talking about the selection for the next couple of games it would be easy to talk about resting players and fielding weaker teams but our squad is deep enough to be able to rotate heavily most games without seeing a drop in quality in the team. So I think there will be changes tonight but not out of lack of respect for our opponent or to prioritise the cup but simply to ...
