Huddersfield (h) pre-match thread

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

All of the 3rd tier of the South Stand and the East Stand half of its lower two tiers.

do they have the usual away blocks in tier 1/2 and the whole third tier ? ( i can't open the link for some reason) seems a bit strange. id have just given them level 2 and 3 like everton had.

I was thinking monaco was after this game,as it's not go a decent strength with someone to create and put it to bed early on,hopefully

i want us to win everything we enter but i also realise that its impossible to pre-guess a pep line up so i will leave it up to him and see how he feels is the best line up to win us the game.
i dont think kun will start the game. maybe fernandinho in for yaya? navas and nolito in for sterling and sane maybe ?? but then again, maybe we should start with our best 11 and hopefully get the game won by the hour mark and then bring a few off? i dont know. choices choices choices hey!

perfect time to blood a youngster. put out a near full strength 11 with kid, will be great experience.

that team should do fine at home against a second string huddlesfield.

I agree. does seem a bit messy. This is the relevant bit from that link:

Supporters registered on the FA Competition Cup Scheme are advised that due to the extended visitors allocation, a number of seats will not be available in the following areas:

• South Stand Level 1 – Blocks 114 and 115
• South Stand Level 2 – Blocks 214 and 215
• South Stand Level 3 – Blocks 314, 315, 316, 317 and 318

So I have assumed that they have got 113, 213, 313 (the normal away end) plus the blocks above which gives all of 3rd tier, and roughly half of the rest of the stand. I imagine that they will sell them block by block so might be that they return some tickets.

I have no idea what Huddersfield's travelling support but they are riding the crest of a wave at the moment. I believe they won again in midweek.

I thought we'd struggle to get 40k for this, but with both teams doing well, perhaps it will be more.

Just one in a strong side and maybe one on the bench. That is the way to do it

I see City are out training in UAE. Good time to go away. I hope they come back in time. I have a recollection of them going away before a Cup match, returning the day before and getting beat but I forget the details.

Yes, but which Saturday ? ;-)

 

[Mancityus]

Yes, but which Saturday ? ;-)

Following Saturday, kids should be able to handle the job at home in their absence.

Full strength for Huddersfield and hopefully Boro, then we can get back to Wembley again, can see us winning it this year.

Somebody said similar agin Wigan.

I'll wait until Spanish Dave is leading the team up the steps at Wembers before commenting.

We'll have to play Arse,Renters,Spuds (IF we beat Smoggies) in the semis/final to win it......how's that feel ??
