Matchday Thread: FA3 Huddersfield T v Port Vale

[Seamus O'Wye]

Not all that unusual, Tommy Cheadle and Basil Hayward played at centre-half and centre-forward, as did John Charles but not for the Vale.

 

...as did Peter Swan more recently.

Very true, but it would be a brave move to sacrifice Smithy from the defence, more likely foolhardy.

[Jacky Noff]

It's the 3rd round of the cup and & £10! Jeez some miserable buggers on here.

 

Looking forward to this one more than any in last 3 or 4 mths

 

There'll be 1500 - 2000 vale nidiots there

I think away from home, especially with the personnel currently available we should be going 3 at the back with wingbacks.

 

 

 

 

.............Alnwick..............

.........Smith..Streete..Knops......

Purkiss...........................Kiko

..........Grant....Taylor...........

...............De Freitas...........

.........Thomas......Cicilia.........

 

Given we only have one striker, Thomas pretty much has to play up top too, but Kiko and Purkiss will still provide width and have more license to get forward. Kiko would particularly be suited to this system i feel because he looks good going forward and is a nice footballer but he's definitely not an out and out defender.

Is that all ya got?

Apparently we've sold 950 as of yesterday and have 11 coaches going. So looks like you're wrong.

Mate I'm pretty sure he's going, it was just a joke I think.

I hope Alnwick keeps pretending he's Buffon. If he has an off day it'll be a cricket score.

Alnwick will have nothing to do tomoz because every player will play above themselves.

Yes we r naff but if your clubs future depends on it u would expect a fabulous performance .

What have we got play for in the league .

STAY UP thats about it as usual or midtable mediocrity .

Lets be positive tomorrow is the dawn of a better PVF C and a win could be the start of something special .

A defeat ends the season so really we need all the home attendance go tomoz .

Im sure Alnwick will be fine and i want to c that Mr Brown have brought inventive and creative football into there training this week .

Like quick free kicks ,like corner kicks full of imagination and thought .

We can win but lets not write us off vefore we kick a ball .

This is Huddersfield we r playing not Arsenal ,Chelsea or Man City .

Why should we fear them .

Hope the players r up for it and those who aint dont select them as we in the away end will be able tell who wants it .

Advance tix of 1000 all sold out :)

[Terrier]

Hi, Huddersfield fan here logging in for the first time.

I see you've sold your initial allocation of 1000 and with pay on the day available it should be a good following from vale and with you sharing the stand with our more vocal supporters it all makes for a decent atmosphere.

 

All pay on the day for us so no indication as to how many home fans will be in attendance, in the league we're averaging around the 20,000 mark but the club obviously don't think we'll reach near that mark even with the good prices as one of the stands is shut.

 

Here's to a good game and safe journey to the Vale fans coming up, any questions re pubs etc and I'll be pleased to help if I can.

Where's the best place to get a pint of Cannonball?

Human or UnHuman? I know both the Grove 10 mins walk from the Railway station and the Kings Head at the Railway station serve Magic Rock beers but if they have Cannonball (either) at the moment I don't know, the Magic Rock brewery has a bar there called the tap room 10 mins walk from the station and on the way to the ground open from 12 and that would be the best bet.

Thanks for that. I'm sure you are enjoying your season under Klopp style management and bar perhaps Newcastle and Brighton [who have I suppose far bigger budgets] you must stand a chance of going up this year after a very long time in the lower leagues. The glory days of the 1920s might be just around the corner!
