Ed Clancy Cup - Huddersfield -vs- Barnsley - 20th Aug - 15:00

[Craig]

YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE!!!

Two teams brimming with confidence after good starts to the season. Would be happy with a point and delighted with all three.

Imagine it will be the same line-up that started against Derby and QPR.

 

[AnkleBiter]

Classic Yorkshire fixture this. Should be a cracker, 20,000+ there, both clubs in high spirits which is unusual!

Big test for us to show whether we're the real deal or not. I think we'll scrape it.

 

[Jamo]

Will be a very tough test. Honestly thought we'd get mullered by at least one of Derby/QPR but we dominated both games and deservedly got 6 points, and with Huddersfield starting the season on fire this should be a cracker. Can't wait.

Would be happy with a point, no reason why we can't get all 3 though with the way we're playing at the moment.

 

[HtfcWArrior]

Been looking forward to this fixture with both teams starting the season well. I think this game will be a 2-2 draw.

This game will test if we can challenge for the playoffs and with a big crowd I can see us winning this game!

Good luck Barnsley!! UTT

Looking forward to this, can see Scannell starting instead of Lolley after his performance Tuesday at Villa and possible reverting to the 4-4-1-1

Ward

Smith
Hudson
Schindler
Lowe

Scannell
Mooy
Hogg
VLP (who's been shite so far)

Kachunga

Wells

Was about to ask how's Van La Parra doing?

 

[AnkleBiter]

Please stop trying to claim Ed

 

[tarnluke]

Gutted I can't make the game today. Should be a cracker.

Funnily enough, before the season started and looking at the fixtures, this was the first one I thought we might pick up some points in. Strange how things work out!

As long as we have a real good go again I won't be too bothered if we lose this one. I'm more bothered about us beating Rotherham next week.

I'll be optimistic and say 1-1 and hope that we have another quality performance and result.

 

[Craig]

Gutted.

Swings and roundabouts though. We were on the positive end midweek.

 

[Nook Terrier]

That long throw off Roberts will win Barnsley around 10 points alone this season.

Second half we were awful, should of been 2/3-0 up at half time but we didn't capitalise on our dominance.

Buzzing with the win though, Kachunga and Löwe were bloody awesome again.

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

 

[AnkleBiter]

4th late goal scored this season, all 4 by Wagner's subs Bloody loving it atm, even though we were fortunate to nick that. Was just coming round to the idea that a draw was alright... Barnsley impressed me 2nd half, well drilled and have some quality, don't just look like a promoted side in form simply because they're in high spirits. Good luck to our frenemies.

But yeah... TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

 

[Super_horns]

Nice goal by Hogg - didn't see that at Watford too often (he played well for us though)

 

[tarnluke]

Harsh on us to concede in the last minute to lose. Our 2nd half performance warranted the point from what I've heard. That's football though and both teams were trying to win so it was always going to be harsh on the loser.

Personally I think the extra days rest for Huddersfield told, particularly in the first half where we looked tired.

Still lots to be positive about and also much to improve on. We now have a full weeks rest for what is in my opinion a very important game for us against Rotherham.

Fair play to Huddersfield though, look a real good side this season and hope they do well.
Be interesting to see how they get on if they lose a couple though.
