I do like this new AI thing on Google. It allows me to read what has been said at the press conference without having to listen to Lee Grant. I asked the question what news came from today's press conference and within seconds, up came this answer.....

Huddersfield Town held a press conference today (Monday, December 1, 2025) with manager Lee Grant and forward Marcus Harness ahead of their EFL Trophy match against Lincoln City.

Key news and updates from the press conference include:

Injury Update: Lee Grant confirmed that the squad came through the weekend match "unscathed" and that they have a "fit and available" squad to choose from for the Lincoln trip, with no new injury concerns.

Match Preview: The team is focused on the upcoming Vertu Trophy (EFL Trophy) match against Lincoln City on Tuesday, December 2. Grant emphasized the desire to progress in the competition and use it as an opportunity to give players minutes and build momentum.

Harness's Role: Forward Marcus Harness spoke about his recent transition to a more central, deeper midfield role and how he is enjoying contributing to the team's system from that position.

Performance Review: Grant expressed pride in the team's character and response in their recent 3-3 draw against AFC Wimbledon, but also frustration at not securing all three points after controlling much of the game.

New Sporting Director: The club recently appointed Chris Markham as the new sporting director. Grant commented he is "excited" and "relieved" to have Markham in place, as it will help distribute some of the workload.

The club is looking to use the Trophy match to "kick on" and improve their league form, with a focus on consistency and high performance.

If by chance, you prefer listening to his annoying voice, here's the Match Preview on YouTube, with Marcus Harness....
