Huddersfield Town v Swansea City – Your matchday pack

The Swans look for a third successive league win when they head back into Yorkshire to take on a Huddersfield side who have just three games to save their Championship future.

The Terriers are currently occupying one of the three relegation places alongside Sheffield Wednesday and already relegated Rotherham as they look to avoid a Yorkshire treble of the trap door opening to League One.

However, with just five points separating 17th to 23rd there is much to play for and the Swans will be in for a tough test tomorrow and certainly will need a marked improvement in performance from the bore fest that greeted us last weekend when Rotherham were beaten at the Swansea.com Stadium.

As ever, JackHarris is on hand to bring us the matchday thread for the game (this can be found here) which gives you the chance to discuss events from the John Smith’s Stadium both pre, during and post match.

Might be a good game to start a hungry u-21 player or two. Maybe Abdulai or Cotterill in midfield or Lissah at the back.

If Placheta is out - and it seems likely he will be - can we just find someone remotely suited to that position to play there instead of Pato or Lowe or Cooper? Start with Govea or dig that Arsenal youngster out from the back of the sofa and dust him off.

This game could have all the hallmarks of Boro away. Long north trip with us being safe now not so much under the scrutiny of playing at home against a full house with a team scrapping for their lives.

Could be a real test of where we are at mentally.

Hopefully we play with intensity and reward the fans travelling.

Imagine how massive this game would have been if we'd only taken, say, 1 or 2 points from the last 2 games. Doesn't bear thinking about but does put into perspective how close the trapdoor was getting when we'd always had the extra gears at our disposal but were seemingly content to spend most of the season in neutral.

According to the pundits, we have little chance of getting anything at Huddersfield. Mainly because we're on the beach now ( some would say we've been on the beach the whole season) bizarre stat we haven't lost to any of the bottom 11 teams away this season.

John Busby will be the man in charge when Swansea City travel to Huddersfield Town on Saturday (3pm kick-off). It will be the ninth time the Oxfordshire-based official has overseen a Swans match following his promotion to Select Group 2 in the summer of 2021.

The most recent of those matches was a 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town, while prior to that he was in charge for the September fixture between the Swans and Millwall at the Den; goals for Jamal Lowe, Matt Grimes and Mykola Kuharevich sealed three points on that latter occasion. Busby began his career as an assistant referee, and served in the EFL for eight years before switching to the whistle and joining the National List of Referees in 2016.

In total this season, he has overseen 30 matches – mostly in the Championship – and has handed out 117 yellow cards and one red. On Saturday, he will be assisted by Richard Wild and Ian Cooper. Matthew Donohue will be the fourth official.
