Predicted Huddersfield Town lineup to take on Cardiff

Matches

Huddersfield Town play Cardiff later today with Narcis Pelach taking the reins as caretaker boss. The Spaniard (somewhat unexpectedly) was spared the chop when Danny Schofield was shown the door earlier this week and will lead the team today. He sounded pretty impressive in his prematch press conference and it may well be that he does a decent job today in what is likely to be his only game in charge, given the international break should be ample time for the board to find a long-term replacement for Schofield to be appointed. Trying to predict the team for today’s game is going to be trickier due to the change in management but I can’t imagine there will be a huge change in thinking, given that Pelach has been a central figure in both the Corberan and Schofield coaching teams. Because ...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Wigan – Will Town’s two new boys start?

Matches

Town are back in action again tonight after the unexpected pause in their season following the Queen's death last week. I'd rather the weekend's games had gone ahead with an appropriate tribute to the Queen's life before kickoff but given the game we had called off was a tricky away fixture to QPR, Danny Schofield might have been privately relieved to have missed a fixture where defeat would have piled pressure onto him. Instead he goes into this week with two home games before the international break and has a chance to show that he can get this team playing. Wigan and Cardiff are both teams that can be tricky on their day but aren't exactly world beaters, so four points and a significant improvement in performance should be the minimum expectation for this week given Town are current...

Predicted Huddersfield Town lineup, what to expect from Bristol and score prediction for tonight’s game

Matches

Huddersfield Town take on Bristol City tonight in a bid to register their first away win of their season and to claw their way out of the relegation zone. It won’t be an easy task though as Bristol City are enjoying some good form at the moment and are undefeated in their last six league and cup games. It feels like every team we play this season has a former ghost from our past that comes back to haunt us. This time out it is Nahki Wells that will no doubt play out of his skin and remind us of what we are missing and maybe make Leigh Bromby start to wonder if a second spell might be worth considering (he’s given enough other Town old boys another chance!). Anyway, here’s my preview of tonight’s game… Predicted Huddersfield Town starting XI to take on Bristol City Tom Lees susp...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on West Brom

Matches

Huddersfield Town take on West Bromwich Albion this afternoon in their first game for eleven days, following the postponement of last weekend’s game against Coventry. It’s likely to be a tricky fixture, West Brom sit in midtable after drawing too many of their games so far this season but their team is littered with quality players and even though they are managed by Steve Bruce (who I have held a grudge against ever since his days in charge of Town) they should still provide a stern test for Danny Schofield’s men. Speaking of Schofield, so far I’ve found his team selections a little bit easier to predict than his predecessor. He’s less inclined to make left-field changes and tends to prefer a settled lineup. Carlos liked to shake things up and tinker but Scoffa tends to stick with what...

Coventry pitch doubts may impact selection, will Schofield park the bus?, Sinani revenge & predicted lineup – Norwich v Town preview

Matches

Huddersfield Town have made the long journey to Norwich for tonight’s game where they will be hoping to pick up more points after getting their first victory of the season against Stoke on Saturday. Our last competitive game at Carrow Road was a 7-0 drubbing back in April 2021, when Manchester United loanee, Joel Perreira, made a rare appearance in goals and Town put in one of their worst performances of the Carlos Corberan era. Thankfully, Norwich are nothing like the team they were the last time we visited them, after failing to win any of their first three league games of their return to the Championship they are in poor form, at least in terms of results. Here are a few of my thoughts ahead of the game. Predicted Huddersfield Town lineup to take on Noriwch Usually I’d dedicate...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Stoke

Matches

Huddersfield Town play Stoke at home on Saturday at three o'clock today. What a novelty to finally be playing a game of football when it should be played instead of being shunted about at the whims of Sky’s producers, the organisers of the Commonwealth games and the Rugby League fixtures. Today’s game has a lot riding on it as Danny Schofield seeks his first victory as Huddersfield Town manager at the fourth time of asking and Stoke City will be doing everything they can to stop that from happening. “Must win” is a term that gets used too often in football but with a daunting away trip to Norwich on Tuesday night (our last few trips there have been horror shows) Schofield will be hoping his dysfunctional Terriers will pull it together for this game. He probably isn’t going to g...

All change! Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on PNE in the League Cup

Matches

Huddersfield Town take on Preston North End tonight in the Carabao Cup tonight in a match that may previously have seemed fairly meaningless but now has increased importance after Danny Schofield lost his opening two games in the Championship. Away from the glare of the league campaign he's likely to rotate his squad and give the fringe players a run out but he will also be hoping to record his first win as Head Coach. Predicting the team for these games can be very tricky when wholesale changes are likely but it's also quite fun to try and guess which of the players on the first team will be given a chance. Here's how I think we'll line up. Goalkeeper: Chapman If you go off the official club website, Lee Nicholls and Ryan Schofield are the first team goalkeepers so it should be...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Birmingham City tonight

Matches

Huddersfield Town head to Birmingham tonight for another Friday night game. After seemingly never playing on Saturdays at three in the latter half of last season, we've had our first two fixtures of this season moved to Friday nights too. As much as football under the floodlights has a certain kind of appeal, I'll be pleased once we get back to playing most of our games on Saturdays. Tonight's team selection has a bit more riding on it than usual as most people felt that Danny Schofield got it wrong last week. I'm less inclined to say that as I predicted the exact starting eleven but Schofield does need to make sure he doesn't repeat the same mistakes again tonight. With that in mind, I think we'll see a bit more attacking flair but I don't think there will be huge changes to the ...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Burnley tonight

Matches

The day has finally arrived! The start of the new season. Today is a fresh start for a number of other reasons too as both teams have new head coaches tonight and will most likely be fielding a few new players (though for Huddersfield Town they may be on the bench to start with). Both of tonight’s teams hoped to be starting this season in the Premier League but are having to settle for the Championship. Burnley after relegation, Huddersfield Town following a bitter playoff final defeat. Both teams now have to put those disappointments aside, brush themselves down and get ready for a 46-game Championship campaign. How good you were last season does not matter one bit any more and now it’s all about what you can do this season, it’s a fresh start and that’s the beauty of football. E...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Nottingham Forest tomorrow

Matches

It’s getting close now! After a very long wait and a lot of fussing about tickets, the playoff final is almost here. After 46 league games and two playoff semi-final matches, everything boils down to tomorrow’s winner-takes-all encounter against Nottingham Forest. Carlos said that he has a virtually fully fit squad to pick from for tomorrow’s game in his pre match press conference. If I’m honest, I’m not sure I believe him and he may just be keeping his cards close to his chest to avoid giving an advantage to Forest. But I’m going to take him at his word for the purposes of this predicted lineup and pick the players I think Carlos will pick if all the main players are fit. Goalkeeper: Lee Nicholls He’s been a hero for Town already this season and the stage is set for him to ...
