Town ready for a break ahead of hectic finale to the season
ham and for me they deserved the three points, but suffered one counter-attack.
Then they had a player sent off against Reading after 30 minutes, and for me up to this point it was balanced.
And then they changed shape against Norwich, which is normal when you play Norwich.
They have many quality players to play the way he wants to play. Their style is they want to dominate more games and they want to change their possibility of their position in the table. It’s going to be a real battle.
I THINK so. They haven’t maybe changed too many players, with only Sam Hutchinson the new addition. But if I analyse the game we played last time, there are players back then who we don’t have right now.
HUDDERSFIELD Town head to Sheffield Wednesday tonight looking to increase the gap between themselves and the Championship relegation zone.
A win against the relegation-haunted Owls would be a massive step towards securing another season in the second tier for Town.
Not only that, but Carlos Corberan’s side also have a huge advantage up their sleeve.
After the Hillsborough clash, the Terriers have a 17-day gap between matches. That factors in the international break, but also means Town face two successive blank weekends.
That is because Bournemouth, their projected opponents on Saturday, are in FA Cup action.
The Cherries take on Southampton in a quarter-final clash, meaning their prospective trip to the John Smith’s had to be moved and so Town now have a free weekend whilst their rivals play on Saturday. The fixture against Jonathan Woodgate’s side will now take place on April 13. Town’s players will no doubt be relishing the extended lay-off that awaits them.
Under Corberan, training is said to be high-octane and the infamous ‘murderball’ sessions are stuff of legend. It is hoped that a positive result tonight, combined with the lengthy spell without a fixture, will ensure Town’s players are refreshed and raring to go ahead of what looks like a brutal final run-in.
Their final nine games take place over a
36-day period highlighting the importance of the upcoming rest and recovery window. Town play three games a week up until the end of April, although this could be affected further by Covid-related postponements.
