Match day thread: Huddersfield 11th April 2026 (A)

Gteat to see Bradley back in the squad

Shocked by both how strong that line up is and how attacking it is. Clearly going for it.

Fink back on the bench. We’ll soon see if you were right!

It feels like every week someone has definitively written a player off as they haven’t been involved then they get back involved shortly after.

If Football League World is to be believed Alex Lowry is our highest paid player on a reported Ā£9500 pw. Beggars belief given he hasn’t played all season :man_shrugging:

2.50 a pint in the King Street Social Tap! Might not bother going to the game

Given his history with Huddersfield Duff was never going to play an experimental XI

I think he has had some injury up and downs, and tge CBM / AM partnership is pretty good. But, its become quite noticeable that even when Henderson is first, he doesn’t seem keen on having him with AM.

I’m not sure we have had a Am/Cbm/ EH starting midfield, which i think could work, especially with Fred and Vidi wide.

It seems absolutely mad - and you have to hope we only signed him on an 18month deal, not 2 1/2 years! Otherwise there’s every chance we have to subsidise an exit.

The same source as yours has Finky on Ā£5.5k a week, which stil sounds mad for the constribution to the cause, but I’ve heard someone on here and someone at the game last week quote Ā£12k! Can’t be true surely.

They are not right. They might not be wrong about Lowry wage but Fink is on more.

Only amplifies my implied point about what is a woeful recruitment record.

Add Berry, Tilley and Westergaard to the list (I could add others) and it makes Duffs control of summer recruitment even more critical. It must be Duff led not data led.

As long as we don’t have to rename him Data Duff.

Duff will have a say in all signings, like the January window. But, he should only have a say and all signings should be for a certain style of play.

Im very much against managers having full control on signings, we know Duff has previous for ducking into a bigger job if offered.

Also play offs are still possible. COYB

In his latest interview, it looks like he feels a bit let down by some of the players. They probably know who they are. The message is, show me what you can do if you want to be here next season.

Need to get Alfie May sent off as early as possible!

Norris nowhere near that corner.

I’ve seem a couple of comments like this recently.

The list of managers who were desired elsewhere, who stayed loyal to a lower league team for their whole career must be fairly low mustn’t it?

I think we were very blessed that bigger clubs turned their nose up at Ainsworth due to his style of football.

Many of the traits of our old Ainsworth teams are now very trendy. Loading the six yard box and bundling the goalkeeper, feigning head injuries, goalkeeper cramping up, low blocks.

This was all considered old fashioned, but now it’s in vogue.

We are going to get battered.
