Yeah, we could do with a good, clinical stress-free home win. Taking nowt for granted like as they clearly have some fight about them, but if we can get a couple of 1st half goals then we could really get into them. Love to see Rusyn open his account
Good news and it’s up to us to take advantage. Rudoni’s been an influential player each time I’ve seen him. Play our own game but stifling him should be high on our out of possession plan.
Would be nice to be comfortable 2-0 at half time - but then be greedy and ruthless second half. Get the strikers on the score sheet - even if it’s a tap in at 5-0
Huddersfields last 4 games they've had 26%, 29%, 24% and 23% possession. They will come here looking to frustrate so it is down to us to break down the low block they will play.
It's not about Huddersfield 's problems or how they set up, we have got to be bang at it and let them worry about what we can do to them. Need a decent win to calm down those who appear to think we just have turn up and we win. Sensiblegreenie (Plymouth fan) alluded to some of our fans thinking it's only little Plymouth which is a bit demeaning in my eyes. We're all in this league cos we deserve to be and anyone can beat anyone on their day...there's no such thing as an easy game in this league. Having said all that we're doing better with our home games this season and hope that continues on Wednesday.

have to agree here, they are looking for points and draws will be good for them right now, get straight into them, get pritchard on from the off and give jobe a rest, i would prefer to see ekwah have a break as well but not sure two midfield changes at once will be good as i would like to see adil replace pritchard around 55 minutes or so...get rusyn on for the same, hopefully be a good game for him to break his duck and let mayenda finish the game off.
Pritchard is a good shout although he lost his head a bit in the home game last season - so desperate to score he was shooting from all angles. Deffo agree re resting Jobe but I don't think we can leave Neil in there on his own. Suppose you could play Neil & Pritch with Aouchiche in the 10, but that looks a bit lightweight. Boy do we miss Corry Evans
...........and Clarke and Roberts have waltzed through their defence 10 times each only to take that extra touch on the byline that makes the angle too tight to cross
