In that case we were stood out in the fresh air of the open end, or as close as we could get to it, for the 2nd half and took a stroll across the hallowed turf (what few blades of grass were left of it) after the final whistle.

Sounds like the Wicked Witch of West Yorkshire Sport is back on our case again after spending most of last season elsewhere.

Don't get the Grant thing - we're still paying his wages so play him and make The Baggies get their finger (or cheque book) out.

As one of my former bosses used to say - "Sh!t or get off the pot"

Good to hear Ramma Emmo Gree is available.

Head Coach Carlos Corberán has named his Huddersfield Town side to open the 2020/21 Sky Bet Championship campaign against Norwich City today; 3pm kick-off at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Carlos has handed a Huddersfield Town debut to new signing Pipa, with the 22-year-old former Espanyol man lining up at right back for the first time today.

There are two other changes to the side that faced Rochdale last weekend, with Richard Stearman and Adama Diakhaby coming into the line-up for Romoney Crichlow and Danny Ward; the latter misses out today through injury.

After an impressive pre-season and Club debut against Rochdale in the Carabao Cup last weekend, 19-year-old Academy graduate Ben Jackson also makes his Sky Bet Championship bow against the Canaries this afternoon.

Fraizer Campbell makes a welcome return to the substitutes’ bench today having missed pre-season through injury, where he’s joined by Rarmani Edmonds-Green, who has also recovered from a minor issue. Young Terriers Josh Austerfield and Mustapha Olagunju make way.

Alongside Ward, Corberán is without the services of Ryan Schofield (thumb), Tommy Elphick (knee), Terence Kongolo (foot) and Lewis O’Brien (quad).
Newest recruit Naby Sarr, who joined the Club on Friday evening, is not available as he must quarantine following his arrival from France.

Horrible Hannah is in the building. Nnnnooooooo!!! Why isn't she at Anfield watching her beloved L666s?

[Lord Snooty]

Half time report. Not much to report.

---

Can't work out if the sound is 5 seconds behind the pictures or if it's Oggy just being behind the play.

---

Mbenza on for Jackson.

---

Brown on for Diakhaby

---

For fex sake

[theo_luddite]

WTF was he thinking? Or if we was partially concussed from the elbow in the face, wtf was he doing still on the pitch?

---

I thought the sound was at least 30 seconds behind the play a few times. He's always about 5 seconds behind on DAB radio but that's not his fault.

[Lord Snooty]

Shame really. Stearman was probably man of the match until that.

[Lord Snooty]

Hamer really had nowt much to do, but still managed to spill a soft shot. Toffolo was wasted. Plays excellent as an attacking wing back, but for some reason seemed to be a roving midfielder giving away daft free kicks. Stearman had a good game until……

Pipa looked very good, both defensively and attacking. Jackson played a few good passes, but he's not O'Brien, yet. Diakhaby looks to have improved his defensive side, but he's all about pace and he never got to use it. He needs to be looking to get some runs in behind their defence. Koroma had a shot just wide, worked hard and we need to stick with him.

Bacuna and Pritchard both poor.
