What’s going wrong with Huddersfield Town? 7 potential reasons

What’s going wrong with Huddersfield Town? 7 potential reasons

Matches, Opinion
There's something wrong at Huddersfield Town this season. We've lost our first three games, which wouldn’t be horrendous on its own but the manner of the defeats and the way the team have been playing during those games alongside events off the pitch all point towards some rising concerns among Town fans.  So rather than a preview article for tomorrow’s game against Stoke I’m going to try and dig into the possible reasons why Huddersfield Town are so bad at the moment. To save you from disappointment before you get too far, I don’t have the answers, you won’t finish this article with a neat, 5-point plan about exactly how to fix Huddersfield Town’s problems. Instead, I’m going to go over all the things I can think of that might be contributing to the problems and consider how much...

Carlos leaving, Schofield steps up, O’Brien and Toffolo going, Mooy returning rumours – Huddersfield Town roundup

Transfers
Despite it being a few weeks from the start of the football season, there has been a lot going on with Huddersfield Town in the past week, so I thought I’d write a bit of a roundup blogpost where I can get down my various thoughts on the last week or so of things that have been happening.  I usually try to keep my articles around one particular theme but this one, I have to confess, is all over the place.

I may even get around to writing the Mick Wadsworth in Africa article I’ve been talking about writing for so long. But for now, here’s my waffle on the latest Town news… Adios Carlos! What a shock! After the pl...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI for Danny Schofield’s return to Millwall

Matches
Danny Schofield will take change of tonight’s game against Millwall as Town’s caretaker manager, following last Sunday’s sacking of Danny and Nicky Cowley. This makes predicting the lineup particularly tricky in a game which was already likely to see many changes due to it now being a dead rubber. Schofield has taken two training sessions before the game, so not enough time to dramatically change the tactics. I think he’ll stick with the 4-2-3-1 shape but due to his connection to the under 23 team, he’s likely to want to play a few of Town’s youngsters alongside experienced pros. GK: Coleman I think we'll give Coleman one last run out between the sticks before his contract runs out. He's not played much for Town lately but he didn't let us down back when he did play and I'd pick him pur...
