Huddersfield (h) pre-match thread

[Tbilisi]

Yes, because the CL holders spot wasn't required as Barca qualified for the group stage by league position, otherwise Barca would have used the holders spot and Sevilla would have gone into the play-off round.

Cheers for that

Hope this Middle East trip doesn't fuck things up like last time, think it was a cup game we lost to a championship team, after they got back from the trip ;-(

They will be fine, it's only a 7 hour flight and they're back now, no excuse.

Mate at works a huddersfield fan he txt me last night saying they'd sold 7,000 as of yesterday? not sure if hes on wind up tho?

They will probably have more fans than us :)

Our second team just dont do it for us. I agree with much thats been said on here in that there is no creativity in our second team which is reflected in the results we get. Eg Huddersfield. As for the youth coming through I dont know if anyone agrees with me but Im starting to lose some faith in the EDS. We seem to get players of great potential eg Garcia to name one and we never see him bar the odd match not to mention the good ones we just send out on loan. KI is the only one thats had a decent bite of the cherry and thats only because we were so short of a striker.

Just seen we are the on sunday evening in the league so a decent team for this would be nice,half first team and the rest the b team should do it

 

[Marvin]

I hope Garcia, Sancho and Diaz are involved in the squad at least.

Think these lads may get some time in a few league games this season,depending on how far we go in champions league,although would love to see them on weds night ..

How this looking sales wise? Full house?

flogging tickets through the students union of the university now, so i cant imagine sales are good at all

Apart from the obvious, this tie should be an opportunity for Vinny to get minutes under his belt. Play Fernando and fernandinho to give him added protection. Play as strong as squad as possible. Winning is a habit so none of this weakened team bollox. We did it earlier in the season and gave the other team belief. So much so that they won the fuckin thing when we had the chance to bury them

Full team. No excuse to rest players or try anything new. Treble is on :-)

Full strength side to rip into Huddersfield and get through. We are entering a really exciting part of the season and everything is up for grabs.

Wigan twice,Smoggies,rags,renters last year.

After 35 & 44 years I want us to win everything,or at least leave nothing on the field. We've carelessly tossed opportunities away.

We've had chances to dominate now another one arises.

Go strong agin udders. They're a very fit,committed outfit,but if we're on it we win.

One win at a time,steady as she goes.

Maybe Diaz to start on the wing? Replace Silva and Sane with De Britney and Sterling after 50 mins if needed. Would be nice to play a strong line up with a couple of youth players included rather than a line up of fringe players.

not looking to good attendance wise only home game in a 2 weeks+ period, not good, be lucky to get 40k

Midweek. Traffic in Manchester is shit. The club are struggling to get fans through the turnstiles in time for kick off. Weather is shit. Potentially, if we win, we will have had 3 home games midweek on the bounce. It's on terrestrial TV

Fair few reasons there for people not too attend. Can hardly blame them either

traffic in the city centre is shit, but elsewhere its not that bad and the weather is always pretty shit aha.The main reason is a lot of fans just can't be arsed going. if it was against united or a big team, wed sell out no problem.

40k would be a good return for a cup replay.
