Huddersfield Town (A) - Wed 24th Sept, 19:45 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[supercity88]

I forgot about Warhurst, and Sangare I've not seen anything of yet.
I'd still describe Oboavwoduo as more of a striker than the rest of the group.
We have a heap of 10s and wide forwards.
It will be interesting to see what transpires. Not long now.
Apparently both Heskeys are in the squad.

If you get a chance to watch the Youth CL, Sangare usually plays up top for us. Signed him from PSG and does seem to be more of a traditional 9. Oboavwoduo usually plays in the ten. He gets good attacking returns but wouldn't say he is a number 9. Semantics and irrelevant though as neither are in the squad having played last night!

 

[bladdered]

Both Heskey's on the bench.

5-1 even Heskey scored!

 

[oldhamblue]

Stones starting is a ridiculous risk to take.

How does he get match fit without playing matches?

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Fun lineup!

Huddersfield is off to a good start to their year. Hopefully, it's an entertaining match.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Six academy players in the starting line up is amazing

A few more on the bench as well.
Outside of these we have the like of Bah, Reis, Nypan, Echeverri on loan.
I think the club are really going out with the old and in with the new.
Exciting times ahead.

Staggered that Foden is starting his 4th game in 8 days

 

[paulchapo]

Good side, Foden and O'Reilly are young enough to do three games in a week as Pep said in his press conference. Going without a traditional center forward is probably a good idea against a lower league side used to playing against one.

 

[KS55]

Surprised that O’Reilly and Foden are playing, but they are young so may not be tired. Will be interesting to see how the youngsters perform.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Stones starting is a ridiculous risk to take.

Why? Stones gets injured more in training than he does in games. Pointless keeping him on ice for a big game when we cannot guarantee he'll be fit for it. If stones is fit, we should play him whilst we can.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Not a bad looking team bit concerned about the creativity though. Desperately need Kov, Marmoush and Cherki back asap

 

[M Gaudino]

hoping to see this epic barnet

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

A good time for Savinho to shine.

10-1 ;-)

 

[BlueInsomniac]

Jaden & Reigan Heskey have both been named in a senior City match day squad for the very first time:

150th Appearance for City Tonight:

 

[ancoats]

The quality is unquestioned tonight in that starting lineup, it's just the hunger and wanting it badly enough over the Huddersfield team that we want to see tonight, They will be right up for it and will be in our faces and we have to stand up and show them we are happy to fight you,

I will take any sort of City win, even pens, but please no injuries

 

[Gabriel]

Can only see Foden and O'Reilly making way early, assuming the tie is won, with the vast majority of starters all needing minutes.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Why? Stones gets injured more in training than he does in games. Pointless keeping him on ice for a big game when we cannot guarantee he'll be fit for it. If stones is fit, we should play him whilst we can.

Stop talking sense.

 

[big gaz]

He needs minutes.

Eccles wants him out from under her feet ;-)

 

[Gabriel]

Tonight marks a Senior 1st Team Debut for Divine Mukasa:

Sounds a lot but Ake has missed nearly 80 games in his time with us. Such a pity.

 

[big gaz]

Back fucked already.
by the looks of it :-)
