WHUFC vs Huddersfield -- March 16th, 2019

well thanks to our shit showing in the Cup, we get to play a regular game of footie this weekend.

It's a weird game this... playing the bottom team who are certainties for relegation, it's difficult to get fired up or interested... but then seeing how we've pissed away so many points recently against teams we should have beaten in our sleep - it almost becomes too nerve wracking to want to watch...

but c'mon... who're we trying to kid...

that's what being a fan is all about...

so I'll be up at the butt crack of a saturday.

The good news so far is that we've probably seen the last of Carroll... glass legs has done his ankle again and is unlikely to be fit enough to play before the end of the season and as that's when his contract is up... it's see ya won't miss ya!

any road up...

better go get some shut eye... more of me nonsense awaits in the a.m.

WHUFC vs Huddersfield -- March 16th, 2019 File

Lets look at this pragmatically.

Huddersfield are nailed to the bottom of the table and pretty much resigned to relegation. They have nothing but pride to play for. Individually, the players will want to give a good account of themselves with a view to a move in the summer to prolong their playing career in the top flight.

They do not play pretty tikki takka football. They are hoof ball cloggers. They will kick, pull, tug and wrestle us. Looking at the team picture above, although not official, I'd like to think that's the way MP is thinking.

Lanzini has only recently returned from a long term injury. He is still very lightweight and is likely to get knocked off the ball by the brick wall of 'uddersfield. Nasri, while he may no longer have the legs, still has the brain and the vision to operate behind the front line. He can see the pass, the run, the cross field ball. He also has more of the strength of body and mind to repel the aggressive tactics of 'uddersfield.

Cheatarito has demonstrated his true colours recently. Yes, they won us a game, but last week he was lucky not to be put before the FA for simulation and banned. I wouldn't have him on the bench for this fixture.

Arnautovic is the blunt instrument we need. He has pace, power and is not afraid to get stuck in. If MP has managed, as he can, to motivate Marko for this game, he will be unplayable.

I would love us to really spank them, we haven't really destroyed a team this season. We must be mindful though of our slow start in the last few fixtures. 'uddersfield will be well aware of this, as were Cardiff, and will do their level best to exploit this. I think the reintroduction of Balbuena alongside Diop should be enough to keep Fabianski from having to produce yet another outstanding performance, (nailed on HOTY).

I would like, and think with the squad as above, 5 or 6 nil to us. 1 or 2 nil is more likely though.

After last weeks debacle I just don't know anymore. But once again in my heart I'm thinking they will want to make up for that.

But then you have to remember how we have fucked it up so many times this season against those on a par with us, that we should have maybe beaten or at least turned up for.

Last time out we only managed a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield, and now they are fighting for their lives, so to speak. I predict a tough and at times dirty game. I can't see a loss though, and whilst it should be possible can't see a drubbing either.

Sharp intake of breath, a West Ham win by only one or two goals.
