The Town take on the Terriers for the first game of 2023. After a very poor start Huddersfield have won their last two games of 2022 so both sides will be looking for a full house of Christmas time points. COYH!! Huddersfield Trivia. Herbert Chapman managed Huddersfield Town before moving to Highbury in the early 1930s. He became one of the greatest innovators of modern football while at Arsenal bringing the Gunners great success until his sudden death in 1934.  Statue of Herbert Chapman at the Emirates Stadium.  |

Cheers Steve, there’s always some ‘Erbert featuring in the MDF.
Both Towns have different managers ( see all definitions of ambition in both cases) since the heady second leg PO game in May last year and the Terriers also lost two of their then ‘best’ players to Forest (although neither Toffolo or O’Brien appear to start for them).
Celebrate our third consecutive win ( or drown your sorrows) in the superb Sportsman pub on St John’s Road, terrific beers, atmosphere, fittings, the lot!
Dangerous player alert - Sorba Thomas. Likely to appear from their bench, always a menace
COYH!!

By no means a classic but the 3 points made it more than bearable. Can some statistician, LL for example, tell me the last time we got prial of wins over Christmas.
Points of note for me was the performance of young Watson, the return of Burke and having a growing confidence in our keeper.
The play-offs beckon yet again, shouldn't be possible with 'teams like Luton'.

In the Conference-winning season we beat Barnet home and away, and Kidderminster 6-0 in between. I can't think we've done it since then... |

How Captain Ron managed to get the referee not to abandon it defies all logic. |

How Captain Ron managed to get the referee not to abandon it defies all logic. That was the one, though the damp home game was on New Year's Day. Boxing Day was the away game, when Jonathan Smith broke his leg. And Kiddy at home in the middle was the day we actually went top of the league and stayed there the rest of the season  . |
