Huddersfield Town!...

[Benzel]

I'll be at work and no longer have a radio here, so if someone could provide me with a decent stream I would be extremely grateful.

[Acetripper]

Despite what I've posted so far I'm actually getting excited about this one now and wish I was traveling down. Alas that's not possible due commitments in the morning so I'll be desperately searching for an internet stream and or listening to the local radio commentary.

While I've said I don't mind if we lose the idea of losing any game has become very alien in 2011. Never before have we been in such a position, we've been considerably higher in the Football League but we've never been beaten so infrequently. In 52 matches in all competitions in 2011 we've lost only 5 times. Three of these have been in JPT competitions (when we played mainly reserve players), one was in the FA Cup against Arsenal at the Emirates (2-1) and the other in the League Cup at Cardiff City 5-3 aet.

As a result of this every team we play wants to send us packing and no doubt your lads will be trying just as hard as anyone to knock us out of the FA Cup tomorrow.

Here's to a good game and may the best and most deserving team progress to Round 2

How have you managed to lose three times in the JPT? You won the second leg against carlisle

Oppps... my mistake, we've lost just two JPT matches 4-0 at Carlisle last season in the Northern Area Final and to Bradford City this season 2-2 and then 3-4 on penalties.

The mysterious third game was of course the Play-Off Final defeat to Peterborough last May at Old Trafford. I must have subconsciously erased that nightmare from my memory

[RJack]

Looks like we have a few players out for tommorrow's game.

Ridenhalgh & Jervis not given permission to play tomorrow. Ciobichhi is injured  for tomorrow's game so we will see the return of Kennedy at Left back

Magera is also out injured & Kerrouche is 50/50 which means De Vita & Connell are the only 2 fit strikers we have.

Ferry could also be a doubt for tomorrrow's clash against Huddersfield.

[Acetripper]

Not sure who we'll play to be honest!

Jordan Rhodes is definitely out because he's with the Scotland squad who are playing Cyprus tonight. Hope he gets a game! I think Liam Cooper's club Hull City don't want him Cup Tied so he won't play. We could completely rest last week's midfield and play any combination of Tommy Miller, Danny Ward, Anton Robinson, Oscar Gobern, or Donal McDermott. I guess Novak and Lee will start up front. Anthony Kay and Pete Clarke the centre backs with Jack Hunt and Calum Woods in the full back positions. Although Gary Naysmith might get a game at left back I suppose. We have plenty of strength in depth these days so I'm happy with any combination we play.

Just remembered jack Hunt is suspended doe he won't play!

Yeah, my Peterborough supporting mate always poo poos the fact that you guys go on about your long unbeaten run in the league, despite getting dicked in the biggest league game of last season, as if it doesn't count!

Yeah...we get that thrown at us a lot! I can see why but according to the official statos Play-Off games are a knock out competition and not League games! So we didn't exactly invent our unbeaten run did we?  I don't think we go too overboard about our record either considering how monumental it is! Christ, if it was any of the 'big six' we'd never hear the last of it!

Ask your mate where all the Peterborough fans were at Old Trafford? I didn't actually see any in Manchester for their biggest league game of last season, before or after the game. Their seating inside Old Trafford was pitifully sparse too. That should shut him up!

I think his reply would be '3-0, 3-0' with him dancing around the room to be honest!!

I see where you are coming from but good support doesn't win matches so I doubt the fact they have a poor support makes no difference. Bit of a shame as they must be brilliant to watch with all the goals they score and concede!

We went to sleep for eight minutes at a crucial time in that game and they had players who could exploit our lack of concentration. Grant McCann was simply awesome and ran midfield. As a result, believe it or not some of our fans still want Lee Clark to leave our club, unbeaten run or not. They blame him for that defeat where he played 17 year old Arsenal loanee, Benik Afobe, alone up front against a team that scored freely but conceded plenty too. When we lose our unbeaten tag (which we will at some point) those fans will be out in force again calling for him to go!

It really was an amazing day all the same, being part of a 35,000 following of your own fans, hell bent on having a great time was very special and while they ended up winning and being promoted, I'll never forget the atmosphere as long as I live!

Different contrast to when we went to wembley, it was full of happy clapping cunts that wouldnt sing.

Shit atmosphere

[jimmy_onions]

if there is even a sniff of wembely this year (or a final at some other large ground) the club need to be bombarded with emails re: singing blocks etc...

Or perhaps there was a higher proportion of sober people, overawed by a bunch of drunken oiks ?

[tans]

Nah

[Benzel]

I could've accepted it if I thought they were in awe of me.
