    I would play a competitive team here as I think its our best chance on paper of 3 points this week . There are no easy games in this league, we really need the 6 points to put real pressure, on those teams around us, battling for the play-offs, but 4 will do to keep us well in the running so I would go with :-
    patto
    hume seelt ballard hjelde
    O/9c
    ba niel ekwah
    rusyn clarke

    subs bishop, pembele, rigg , mundel, adil , jobe, & roberts

    We sometimes see one of our biggest fans, Jude Bellingham, coming to watch his little brother playing for us.

    Do you think he has a hotline to Beale to make sure that Jobe will be playing so that he doesn’t come all this way to find little bro being rested.

    I don’t buy into this ‘he’s contracted to play every game’ thing even though he does play almost all the time but surely Jude will want to know if Jobe will be playing (unless he’s checking up on us to join us when we go up)

    Feeling confident. I sincerely hope Beale delivers another victory to shut his detractors up and keep their numbers dwindling. And of course to lead us ro a play off place

    2-1 to the lads. Rusyn and a late winner from sub Aouchiche.

    Feeling confident, I think we will keep it tight first 20 minutes then go through the gears.

    Fancy Neil to score tonight as well

    I don't blame them for thinking this. We've lost more games than them this season and have only won 4 away games. If I was any team coming into a home game against us I'd expect to want a win.

    They're wrong though like.

    I'd love it if Rigg starts but I don't think he'll do it on an away game.

    Think it will be the same team as Sunday but with Jobe in for one of Roberts or Ba.

    Interestingly (I think), despite it seeming our home form is infinitely better than our away form, we've actually lost the same number of games home and away so far this season. We've just only won 4 away games but 10 home games.

    What?

    Also, only Rotherham have won fewer games than Huddersfield ...

    ... they're at the bottom for a reason.

    just checked and we’ve lost the same as them. We’d lost more than them before the weekend. Staggering really. They’ve just drawn so many.

    I suspect they'll want a free for all ...

    ... we need to calm the game down, frustrate them and hit them on the break imo.

    Attacking them wouldn't be sensible, I suspect Southampton found that out.

    This season. Both teams lost 12

    The real story is the fact they've won 6 out of 31

    I can see this being a draw unless we score early
