John Smiths Stadium Saturday 5th November 2016



Let's start this match thread on a POSITIVE note. It's November 5th or at least it will be come the day of the match and Huddersfield Town are 3rd in the Championship! Now at the start of the season we would all have taken that position. OK we've suffered a blip or two in recent weeks and to coin a phrase used by the Beesotted Brentford Twitter account "it looks like the wheels on the Wagner Revolution bus have fallen off" Well folks I'm here to tell you that they haven't fallen off, we just had to take them back into the garage for a bit of wheel balancing after a couple of dodgy journeys away from home in the past month
Ok last week at Fulham was pretty poor but sometimes these things happen, I mean who thought Norwich would get spanked by the same score line at Brighton?
Yes the Wagner Revolution continues this weekend with a home game against Birmingham City, Birmingham is regarded as the 2nd City of England and as it Stands now BCFC are the 2nd team in the City behind West Brom, with Aston Vanilla bring up the rear. I'll be honest BCFC have slipped under my radar so far this season, the only times I've seen and noticed how they've got on is when they've been on the old SkyBox so that's a defeat at Burton and a home draw against Vanilla which happened to be last weekend. Despite the indifferent start Birmingham sit just outside the Play offs in 7th spot(only Goal difference keeps them out) and a mere 4points behind us so this won't be easy

Last time out(line ups) &. team news

Expect at least one change for the Terriers as Hogg returns from a one match ban to hopefully add some steel to our midfield

Club connections.

Nico Vasen,Ian Bennett,Paul Barnes,Simon Charlton and Chris Marden,Lee Clarke and Fat Boy Brucie.

Quite a few connections really but probably more so on the management front, Clarke and Bruce both started off well at Town and then faded. Clarke had a never ending massive budget for League 1 but couldn't quite get us over the line and has since lugged his Bingo selection machine to far flung places like Birmingham,Blackpool and now Kilmarnock. Meanwhile Fat boy Brucie who was given the El Bow by Rubbery has been on and off the merry go round several times having taken in stops at Sheff Utd(where he eventually resigned) Town(sacked) Wigan(resigned) Palace(resigned) Brum (Resigned) Wigan (resigned) Sunderland (sacked) Hull (resigned) and now Aston Vanilla where he will shortly be either resigning or be sacked.









Wakey match prediction

Town 2 v 1 Birmingham
Wells and Palmer

[Lord Snooty]

Nice one, Wakey.
Another club connection of course, is Frank Worthington. I wonder if he'll be wheeled out at half time or not, given his condition.

[EastLondonTerrier]

Bunn, Hudson/Schindler, Lowe & Deano I would expect to lose their places. Quality thread Wakey as always. Can see Schindler & The Hef paired together again. VLP back in.

[jjamez]

Vaughan and edgar both played for brum. As has jukevitch and lee novak.

Wouldnt expect many changes tbh lowe will play, hogg back in, maybe heff too with rajiv out wide.

[Lord Snooty]

Bunn out. Picked up hamstring injury. Palmer also doubtful.

[theo_luddite]

Let's see. We've won 3 and lost 3 of our last six. Brentfud, have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 6. So if our wheels have fallen off, when do Brentfud (playing Fulham on the telly just now) plan on fitting theirs? Answers on a fiver to the nearest Quikfit fitter, or me).

---

And they are currently 1-0 down.

And oh yeh, nice thread Wakey as ever

[theo_luddite]

Looks like Fulham have got their wheels back on. Jack required at Brentfud please!!! Stick another brick under that back wheel will ya please.

[Lord Snooty]

The u18s are 6-0 up against Hull City after 76 minutes. Oh I do wish the first team could give us something like this this afternoon.

[jjamez]

Stankovic craine and paurevic all not involved with the first team this afternoon
