Huddersfield Town (H) - EFL Trophy

[Bertie]

Probably no one bothered, but Huddersfield at home.

(fka Bristol Street Motors Trophy)

Let’s hope there is no signalling or this will be a 50 pager

[paulhanley]

My main interest in this is that its in the midweek before the pie-shaggers at home. We've got this, they've got Chesterfield away.

All supporter and club flags to be replaced by the semaphore variety handed out at the entrances?

[Leyther_Matt]

Toughest draw we could have got, really. Which is probably the best thing given we could do with getting knocked out. 

[Big E]

I am fuming it’s not Tranmere away……men from the boys 😂

But we had a home draw 😘

[Duck Egg]

Anyone going on Tuesday?

The Villa farce last time out, the weather and the fact I'm not arsed whether we progress any further in this competition, should be reason enough to stay away.

See you all down there

[tomski]

Thought the next game was Wigan😂 

[victor meldrew]

I’m in

[L/H White]

i'm out then out then out some more

[waffer cup 07]

Given we didn't play Saturday, i can see Evatt playing a strong side, in a competion we really need to get out of.

[FrancisFogarty]

According to the club website it’s a league game. 

I don’t know what to believe now.

I couldn't be more out if I was @Big E in a pink tutu

Be nice if it was a league game, that way we could scrub the earlier league game at home against them.

[FrancisFogarty]

That’s what I thought.

[Bertie]

Given injuries I wouldn’t risk Thomason or Matete (amongst others) for this.  Which will mean Evatt will start with both of them 🙄.

Doesn't sound like we have many options 

2 man midfield and start Sharples and Arfield for me

[desperado]

I think we’ll see 4/5 start tomorrow who will start Saturday. Justification will be match time required, (Tommo, Tutu) Confidence to get on score sheet (Charles/Vic) and needs must (Johnston)

                      Southwell      
         Cogley. Forrester Johnston

 Williams.   Tommo.   Sharples.   Tutu

                            Lolos    
                    Charles.  Vic

Go with that but I’d swap Thomason for Arfield. I reckon he will play Collins and Mcatee instead of Charles and Victor

Yeh I could see that as well.

I just think Tommo is one of those who thrives off game time and with him being suspended last week would probably benefit from a run out as captain.

It will be one pair or the other won’t it up front, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was McAtee/Collins

Whoever gets to start tomorrow will probably be a bit gutted because it probably means they're on the bench on Saturday!

Exception might be McAtee if he's now a "midfielder", but I'd bet Vic, Charles and Collins won't start both.

[Wanderlust]

We might see the return of CMG to the bench

[masi 51]

Southwood

Forrester

Arfield

Jones

Williams

Victor

Rest from the b team.........And Mathewson who is in neither

“We have had to find a balance between keeping sharp but also using some time to rest and recover with a busy festive period to come". 

Now, & I know I'm being picky here, does that sound like he's wanting to give people time to rest BEFORE they get tired ?
