Huddersfield Town players post social media updates following Swansea victory

Social media

The spirit within the team was obvious for all to see in the game against Swansea yesterday, with Huddersfield Town's players showing a togetherness that suggests the squad are starting to bond into a team. There was further evidence of this online, as the players took to social media to savour the victory. Frazier Campbell sees the funny side of things https://twitter.com/FraizerCampbell/status/1317498994935955456 One of the team's jokers, Campbell shared a picture someone had made to make fun out of the way he jumped out of the way of Koroma's goal-bound shot (the picture and Hoggy's response can be seen below). The mini-Messi comment, I'm guessing, refers to Toffolo's continual popping up in the penalty area and coming very close to scoring two yesterday. Man of th...

“A joy to watch” Players ratings for Town’s 2-1 victory over Swansea

Matches

Expectations were low going into this game against an inform Swansea team that had not yet lost a match. Town defied the odds and emerged from south Wales with all three points following a great team effort in the pitch. It was a disciplined performance that also required a fair share of luck to see us over the line. On balance, the win felt deserved and there were some excellent individual displays from Town's players. Here are my ratings. Ben Hamer - 7 out of 10 A busy game for Hamer, with him making all the saves you'd expect him to make and notching up another game without a goal-conceding error. I thought he was regularly given the ball in tight areas and pressured by the Swansea attack but kept his cool and got the ball out of danger. Some of his passing was a bit wayward at times...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Swansea

Matches

After a disappointing end to the transfer window which saw Town fail to add any new players to the squad, Carlos Corberán has the same old faces to choose from for the game against Swansea. On the plus side, a few of the injuries from before the international break have healed and the likes of O'Brien and Schindler should be fit to play. So here's my predicted starting eleven. Goalkeeper: Hamer Now a fairly obvious selection after being given a chance and so far not letting himself down. The news that Ryan Schofield is back in training and able to use his injured thumb again suggests competition for this position could hot up soon. Defence: Pipa, Schindler, Sarr, Toffolo I'm predicting Carlos will play his first choice back four for the first time today. I believe Pipa came back from...

Betting tips for Town’s game against Swansea

Matches, Opinion

Huddersfield Town take on Swansea City at the John Smith’s Stadium today, in a match that could have huge implications on this season’s Premier League relegation battle. Swansea looked to be certain to go down before bringing in Carlos Carvalhal, but since his appointment, they’ve started an impressive run of form. Town have experienced their own resurgence lately after a brief dip into the relegation zone, with two consecutive victories before last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Spurs. This post is a bit of an experiment, I’m going to pick out three bets I think are worth a punt for the match. I’m not sure if this kind of artile will work, so let me know if the comments if you think it’s something you'd like to see more of. Short odds pick: Both teams to score - Odds: 23/20 This is a...

6 reasons to feel positive after the Swansea defeat

Opinion

The dust has settled from Town’s 2-0 defeat to Swansea, and even though the performance wasn’t great there’s still lots to be positive about Town right now. There’s been a fair bit of negativity in response to the Swansea result, so I thought I’d write my six reasons to not get too upset just yet. Town didn’t play that badly against Swansea Reading some of the reaction to the game from fans on Facebook, Twitter and Down at the Mac would make you think Town were beaten 10-0 and completely humiliated against Swansea. We weren’t great, but it wasn’t an awful performance. When you play well and win it’s hard to remember moments of bad luck or decisions going the wrong way because you won. In defeat these moments stick in your mind. Here are some things that could have gone differently and...

Swansea 2-0 Huddersfield Town – TerrierSpirit.com player ratings

Matches

Huddersfield Town suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City. The problems from previous games persisted, we lacked quality in the final third and made silly mistakes at the back. Here are my player ratings for the game. It was hard to pick out a good performance, as every player was somewhat under par. Jonas Lössl - 4 out of 10 Made a great save when Abraham got a shot away from a tight angle. Completely undid that good work with a sloppy pass that led to the opening goal. His distribution can be excellent but he needs to be more careful and only pass short when players are available. A few more performances like this and Rob Green may be given a chance. Scott Malone - 6 out of 10 Some positive runs down the wing, but his crossing was poor when in good positions. He was al...
