Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Good Friday's championship fixture.
Remember no meat to be eaten on Good Friday
I was thinking about doing something different like Darn, but I'm quite busy @ the moment so a bog standard one will do.

Sorry for all the links, but it saves me copying it all
Town will be without Joel Lynch and Peter Clarke for this game the latter probably being a godsend. So who will feature @ the back for town? Wallace, Gerrard and Smith with Hammill and Dixon/Woods as wing backs.
Midfield of Norwood, Hogg and Clayton
Upfront Wells and Holmes! Yes Holmes, he can run @ defenders and play great little through balls through for Nahki. I know this looks a bit lightweight,but Holmes will create space for Wells.
Don't shoot me down in flames, it's just my opinion.
Would you drop Smithies and give Bennett the last 4 games? I would, it's probably the last time we'll see Bennett in a town shirt, plus it will give Smithies time to reflect on his blunder @ Derby.
I know it's a bit random and sporadic, but that's me in a nutshell
I'll update team news and Brighton news when I've got more time.
Oh yeah, I'm going for a 0-2 defeat I still don't think we'll go down though
and on me as it's Easter.
Huddersfield Town 1 V Brighton & H Albion 1

Sorry Darn, I disagree, three points lost buddy! It's not a point gained when Town take the lead and then sit back, appalling!
What I am happy and encouraged with, is the shots to goal ratio, six shots and five on target! Has Robins finally got them practising?
He did bottle it with the 4-3-3 formation though.
Now then, it could be coincidental, but I received an email from Twitter today. A link to a BBC story that Town have either favourited, or have favourited the BBC page, I'm not sure. If you are still reading this, here is the spin. The story is about Southampton owing shed loads of dosh. Their chairman is saying that they will not sell players to pay the debts off. There is no smoke without fire, does this suggest Town are interested in the likes of defender Luke Shaw, midfielder Adam Lallana and forward Jay Rodriguez?
'The club face a pending £30m bill for their new training ground and owe £27m in transfer payments - £22m of which is due this summer.'
Now, I'm only putting it out there, I'll leave any assumptions and surmising to you.
If you interested, here is the link to the BBC story.

Morning chaps.

Btw, I want Barnsley to beat Leeds today!
We shouldn't be relying on other teams, it's our own doing that we're in the position we are.

Bob on there Hydy, we need Barnsley to stay up!
Darn, read between the lines. There's nothing there! 😳

Morning all, despite the late equaliser that was a point gained and a very good point at that.
For weeks we've been moaning about the players not putting the effort in(except away to Reading). Well yesterday they put the effort in, the lads worked their nads off for the team yesterday. Yes it wasn't pretty by Town and clearly only the away team were trying to win the game for most of the 2nd half but when you play a quality team like Brighton then sometimes you have to accept what you've got and try and hold on to it.
Spot on by the team!
Spot on by the manger!
Roll on Tuesday when we should be looking to finally secure our Championship place for next season.

We were a bit unlucky I think, their keeper made 4 blinding saves..Smithies didn't have any to make really..Yes they had 65% possession, but did chuff all with it most of the time..and their goal was a fluke really.
The ref was rubbish again, ....
I'm looking for Millwall and Barnsley to lose today ..that would leave them both needing to win all their last 3 games...surely impossible...

Exactly Wakey...
defo a point gained..That LV fella knows knowt
before hand....
We hadn't won in Cod knows how long... ages since we'd won at home, bottom of the current form league.
Brighton. not lost away for four games, winning the last two Banging on the door for a play-of spot...
POINT MOST DEFINITELY GAINED.

Darn, a lead for seventy seven minutes pal, then a blunder in defence cost Town all three points. Definitely three points lost pal!
