Boro battering Hull tonight, 0-4 at half-time. They turned up late but they must have had one helluva warm up on the bus in that traffic jam.

World Cup draw - biggest load of b@ll@cks ever. You can't be in this pot so you've got to be in that pot and we're still not sure which pot you should be in after we've pulled you out of that pot anyway. We'll work out where you play later. Anyone know how Reo Ferdinand got got pulled out of some pot to be a presenter? He was at least the only one I recognised. Other than the pair of infants obvs.

The coverage of the draw started at quarter past five when Flog It shudda been on. Switched off, came back at quarter to 7. Still not done it.

What a polava.

From HTAFC website:

Huddersfield Town Manager Lee Grant has named six changes to his starting side this morning ahead of our rearranged Sky Bet League One away fixture with Cardiff City, kicking-off at 12.30pm at the Cardiff City Stadium in the Welsh capital.

Having started in midweek against Lincoln City and kept a clean sheet, goalkeeper Lee Nicholls keeps his place this afternoon. Joe Low and Radinio Balker are partnered in central defence ahead of him, with the recognised pair of Lasse Sorensen and Ruben Roosken flanking them.

Club captain Ryan Ledson returns to midfield having been rested in midweek for the cup competition, with Marcus Harness again eligible for Sky Bet League One after serving his one game suspension last time out. Ben Wiles and Leo Castledine will operate from midfield positions too, with both players having scored against AFC Wimbledon in our last league fixture.

Established as an attacking partnership, Dion Charles once again joins Blue & White Player of the Month Bojan Radulović up front for Town this afternoon.

Each playing in midweek at the LNER Stadium, Murray Wallace, Joe Taylor, David Kasumu, Seán Roughan, Alfie May and Cameron Ashia are all available from the bench today. Named as a substitute in midweek, goalkeeper Owen Goodman is again available if required from the bench. Lynden Gooch (illness) isn’t available for today’s match day squad.

As previously confirmed by the Club, we remain without seven long-term absentees from the First Team as Marcus McGuane (groin), Herbie Kane (groin), Jack Whatmough (calf), Will Alves (foot), Zépiqueno Redmond (knee), Mickel Miller (hamstring) and Antony Evans (knee) continue to rehabilitate their injuries.

Piss poor defending there. 1-0 down already.

[Lord Snooty]

Appalling first 30 minutes. Players are half asleep.

---

Totally outplayed in the first half.

---

Classy Cas 1-1

[theo_luddite]

This kid Castledine is starting to have "future full international" written all over him. We've had some good 'un's from Chelsea (or have finished up there) in the past. He's right out of that Chelsea mold.

[Lord Snooty]

Get Balker off. Shocking defending.

[theo_luddite]

Charlton v Pompey abandoned after 12 mins, reasons unknown so far according to the Beeb.

Quick update - medical emergency in the stands.

Just when it looked like we'd blown it ....

.... we have

2nd best to Cardiff wouldn't be the worst option come the end of the season, assuming we start to win more games than we do anything else for the rest of it.
