Helik has been shit this season but I fear for us tonight with Lees, Pearson, Nigel.. I don’t like Duffs formation at all. It makes it harder for the players. Playing Hogg in that QB role is a joke. The man cannot pass the football. Surely he has to play hodge there. Kasumu & Evans in a traditional midfield two and tell them to fucking run. Is there anyone who can hold it up, up front at all? Or are we just gonna hope Koroma curls one from range? The set up of the team is atrocious. It’s as bad as André but Duff has had a full pre season and surely had a say in the new players who’ve come in.. Lose heavily tonight and they should give someone else a go. Can’t do any worse. Are you seriously suggesting Hodge in defensive midfield to protect a back 3? He was dreadful defensively at it at home v blackpool - he was on his backside for the second, but that was one of a number where he was nowhere near the play. That was half the reason we were so deep and ended up playing 532, non existent protection from hodge Kane wiles exposed the back line Hodge did well on the ball - especially second half when they sat 10 behind the ball but that’s not the game today I’d be happy him starting but would have to take a more advanced role |

He must have. Sold out stadiums, fans all behind the team even when behind, good attacking football and create loads of chances. Absolutely nothing like us in my opinion. They had a proper clear out and invested heavily We kept the lads that have been mainly shite for years with a few cheap additions Who thought that wouldn’t work out for us? In fairness most of their players were out of contract, that wasn't the case for us. |

I'm wondering about wholesale change. 352 has been found out, and even if we were playing well, Brum are significantly better than us.
Low block, anti-football and see if we can frustrate them.

Pearson

Hodge

Absolutely zero chance of us getting something from this. I could've picked on many posts but what do you really think the chance of getting something is? The bookmaking industry has a best price double chance "Huddersfield / Draw" as 13/10. Equates to probability of 43.48% (not that far off a coinflip). Whilst I think that is way too short, the likelihood isn't zero. TBH it's probably much more likely than 5% (or one in twenty) so well (comparatively) above zero. |

I remember when we played Palace at home on a night game and we were on a run of either 11 or 13 without a win, Mr Hoyle went in to the Town dressing room to have a chat with the players and we won 2-0. Where art thou Mr Nagle

Whoever is selected has to go out and give it everything they’ve got tonight.. whatever formation or job you’ve been asked to do... run hard. Tackle. Fight for everything, leave one early on bielik & stansfield…& when we do win it back..keep it.. just have a bit of keep ball. Quieten their crowd. We’ve got a striker in form so let’s get it to Josh and let’s have this 0-1 Koroma.. or big Pearson from a corner..
We can turn the season back around tonight with a performance like Peterborough away.. let’s get that energy back tonight and show our promotion credentials. Let’s give these away fans a night to remember!
Thats what I’d be telling them any road… (at volume in peoples faces if necessary. Challenge them as professionals.. What are you gonna be remembered for??!)
Young men need leadership from the front and inspiration especially when they’re on a low run of confidence. I hope some gets into them and behind them tonight.. gets them fired up.. I know the away fans - hard core - will make triple the volume of their number..

Our performances away have been better than at home. Hopefully it's more of a Peterborough/Bolton performance tonight 🤞

No you will get those if Town score in the 93min to lead the game and there is still 3 mins of added time to play and we are down to 9 with Lee and Pearson already sent off and they put Hoggy as a centre back |

Is Duff allergic to playing Hodge or something?

I don’t hate it, but Lees shouldn’t ever be captaining us with his atrocious mentality

Hogg dropped, was certain this is the type of game duff would have had him in for. Plus is kane injured again

Strange but interesting team. A couple of players in there (Marshall and wiles in particular) prone to being completely anonymous so it could be a long night. Hope Bojan stakes a claim finally and takes this chance.

I am glad we are playing invisable man Wiles, lets start with 10 men. The merry go round in the team, is a bad idea. As how about you pick the best team available . All the chopping and changing can't be good for building understanding and momentum in the team.

I get Hogg not playing because when we get the ball we need to try do something with it and also we need legs, but, Hodge instead of Wiles surely?
Kasumu and Hodge with Evans in front of them would be a far better balance.
Thank god Miller is back.
Would have started Koroma as well though but a massive chance for Radulovic to show what (if anything) he can do.
