Picking new signings, taking shots, finding a philosophy, Bacuna’s revenge and an intriguing barometer – 5 questions about Huddersfield Town’s trip to Birmingham City

Matches
Tomorrow night sees Town take their first away trip of the season and their second Friday night game when they take on Birmingham City at St Andrews. It’ll be an interesting test for Danny Schofield and his Terriers, after a poor showing against Burnley last week he will most likely fancy his chances against Birmingham but. While Birmingham might not have the talent or footballing ambition of last week’s opposition, they won’t roll over for us either and we’ll have to earn any points we get tomorrow night the hard way. In this article I’ll look at some of the key questions we’ll find out the answers to in tomorrow night’s game…. Will Schofield keep faith with the old guard or give his new boys a run? Against Burnley, Danny Schofield’s selection was panned for featuring none of ou...

Schofield’s coaching style, new players, five subs, ghost fans, Kompany’s transition – 6 questions about Huddersfield Town v Burnley

Schofield’s coaching style, new players, five subs, ghost fans, Kompany’s transition – 6 questions about Huddersfield Town v Burnley

Matches
Huddersfield Town and Burnley have got the honour of cutting the ribbon on the new football league season tomorrow night in front of the Sky cameras. In this article I’ll preview some of the potential talking points from the game.  Opening day fixtures can be misleading, after a summer of anticipation, their significance can be blown out of proportion and rather than a single result they are often seen as a signifier of how the whole season will go. But in fact they are just one game and because Town are a team in transition it’ll be even harder than usual to draw any kind of conclusions from tomorrow night’s game as they’re most likely going to need a few games to find their feet. Anyway, here are a few of my thoughts about tomorrow night’s game… What kind of head coach wi...

5 questions that will be answered when Huddersfield Town take on Luton tomorrow

5 questions that will be answered when Huddersfield Town take on Luton tomorrow

Matches
Huddersfield Town will play Luton tomorrow, hoping to register their first win on the calendar year and break the five game winless run we're on. There's even more pressure on this game as a wide section of the fanbase are feeling dejected after the transfer deadline passed without a new striker being added to the ranks. The official line may be that we're happy with our options up front but the undignified scramble on deadline day to sign any striker with a pulse suggests the club realised, too late, that we do definitely need more backup for Fraizer Campbell. Town's recent poor run has meant we've gone from comfortably midtable to skirting perilously close to the relegation battle (or potentially right in the scrap if games in hand go against us). Here are some of the questions ...

5 questions that will be answered when Huddersfield Town play Stoke later today

5 questions that will be answered when Huddersfield Town play Stoke later today

Matches
Huddersfield Town take on Stoke this afternoon at the John Smith's Stadium and will be hoping to break their five-game losing streak and register their first points of 2021. Stoke present an intriguing challenge as their recent form isn't great but they've got some quality players in their squad. The previous meeting, earlier this season ended in a 4-3 defeat for Town in an entertaining but infuriating encounter at the Bet 365 Stadium.  Here are five questions that will be answered this afternoon…  Will Carlos play the same starting eleven?  My opinion is that we'll see an unchanged lineup today. That's why I'm writing a more general match preview rather than a post dedicated exclusively to predicting the team.  Duane Holmes is likely to make the bench b...

5 questions that will be answered when Huddersfield Town take on Reading 

Matches
Happy New Year Town fans! Huddersfield Town will take on Reading later today in their first game of 2021 in a Championship clash which should be a good test for Town. Reading were this season's surprise package when they topped the table in the early stages but have since reverted to the inconsistent kind of form that is typical of so many Championship teams.  As Carlos seems to have very few options and is sticking with the same core XI players, I'm going to carry on with a more general preview of the game rather than trying to stretch out "no changes" into a thousand word team prediction article.  1. Can Town break the good-game-bad-game cycle? Lately we have fallen into a pattern of playing well one game and being a bit flat in the next one. So while it's good that w...
