***Huddersfield v City EFL Cup Official Match Thread***

Postby nottsblue » Wed Sep 24, 2025 6:47 am

We haven't won this for a few years now. Considering the PL and CL are unlikely trophies to win this season, is it worth actually trying to win this one?

Imagine the team will have 10 or 11 changes from Sunday. Doubt it will be pretty. It rarely is when a team is thrown together that has never played before.

Take any old win.

2-1 Savinho Stones

Iirc our last win was against shitty fans Villa just before locckdown in 2020. So gobby before going in and not to be seeen or heard after the game, even trying tohide their colours.

Pep has already said this one is for the Academy players, Cherki, ait nouri and marmoush are not ready.

Hinted that Erling and Khush were seeing physio team

At least Trafford and Bobb will get a run out along with some that have been on bench we haven't seen yet.

Our last win was the year after Villa against Spuds. Laporte winner.

Yes but that was more or less behind closed doors... counts on trophies list but, not really a final without fans

Reports suggest Philips could have been in with a game but is about to become a father so will miss the match

Should play the nucleus of our first team. If we are winning , rest them late on in the game. A win is far better for our confidence than resting all our first team. We need to get a winning mentality back at this club

I think we'll lose playing 6 :D

I fancy Rico will be in midfield. Slippy shoes Nunes will be RB.

Trafford
Nunes Stones Ake O'Reilly
Sav Gonzales Foden? Mukasa
Bobb
...and someone else!

Philips on the bench? How far down the order is he?

But a side that should be good enough to prevail
