Huddersfield Town v Rochdale Match Thread

This Sat has another big match at the Home of Football. I'm not talking about Boots v 38/Cas/Tez/Inter/Wetherby, no I',m talking about another HUGE battle of the roses between Huddersfield Town & Rochdale. Simon Grayson leads his troops into battle in his 5th game in charge and has already recorded a fine win, 2 draws which were snatched from victory for us and a sqeeky bottom victory too. 8 points so far delivered from a possible 12 is not all bad and the gap to second has closed in too. Rochadale come intop this game sat firmly at the bottom of the table. They now have John Coleman in charge, who somw might argue did a fantastic job at Accrington Stanley. Personally I think they will park the bus and time waste as much as they can.

Recent away form

It's nothing to shout about for them as there last six games away from Spotland have produced a form guide of L-D-D-L-L-D

Team news for Town

The will he/wont he saga rumbles on. Will he make a return to action this weekend though. Yes, I'm talking about Captain Fantastic. Now this man really does divide opinion of late. Some say he can be a liabilty, who has his pants pulled down by average strikers faster that Tez pulled Boots' pants down lately. Others say he is the man to push us over the line of automatic promotion, with a an eye for a pinpoint accurate pass on the floor to one of his teammates, who in turn is waiting to launch an attack with vigour and purpose under the instruction of his captain.

Higginbotham don't seem to be getting a look in with the new manager either, so I'm gonna say we will go with an unchanged line up for this on.

Pubs

You all have your favourite watering holes now before the game, so don't need me to instruct you to any. Me and Tez though will be in The Vox as usual.

Match ref

David Webb, he was last in charge of the Terriers when MK Dons was beaten 4-1 at home in Nov 2010. McCombe/Kay were booked that day.
