Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Huddersfield Town vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

Ugh. Sounds very, very plausible.

But is this correct? We haven't lost an away match to any team currently below us?

If true is it just a meaningless stat, or do less talented teams struggle against us when they are forced to attack?

Will be fckn gobsmacked if we get anything here. We've played with little enthusiasm most of the season when there is actually something on it...2-0 home win

be interesting to see if we experiment with the team a little. Not that we have a great deal of options..

Will Wood be back in the team?

I hope he doesn't change a back four that haven't conceded in two games.

The players today could really back up what they have been sharing in the media about intensity.

Another Bristol City or Boro performance would be very disappointing

 

[Manselton Jack]

Same team again

 

[Smurph]

Same team again

Thankfully

Good test of their mentality today. I sincerely hope they've turned a corner and don't revert back to those performances you've mentioned.

I know there's a 'team on the beach' vs a 'team on a mission' narrative here, but sometimes that does throw up some weird games.

There's so much pressure on Hudds, especially being at home, that if we could withstand any early aggression, we could take advantage of them trying to force the game and the crowd anxiety etc. I'd be more confident of us doing that with Placheta and Allen in the team, but we'll see. I just hope we don't fold like a pack of cards...

Lots of pressure on them, the opposite for us. This could go one of two ways.

We knick an early goal, they go to pieces

Feel like we're going to play like the Brazilian team from the 1970 World Cup final (I can dream).

Thankfully

Not if they play like last Saturday

 

[Swanjaxs]

Feed off Huddersfield's anxiety, simple as that, or just not give a feck and roll over, will be interesting to see how this pans out...

A win is a win at this stage of the season. It's not like we're blessed with options to shake it up.

Get in to them from the off, high press, chase everything down.
