Huddersfield Town - Yeovil Town

Huddersfield have noticed not so good start and only because other top clubs lost some points, they’re 5th with only one point far from the top. Beside home win vs. Charlton, they drew against Bournemouth and missed to break defense of struggling Tranmere (0-0). Seems they spent all the credits given by fans and management which probably will bring a higher amount of seriousness. Two important players, midfielder Anthony Pilkington and defender Lee Peltier, are returning after absence because family reasons.

.

Yeovil collected decent 7 points so far, but both wins came at home against two sides that surely will struggle, Leyton and Tranmere. Good result was also surviving at Oldham (0-0), but disturbing was their disability to resist against only average sides in League One (Bristol Rovers 1-2, Hartlepool 0-2 at home) and their crash vs. Notts County (0-4). They have limited potential and I predict them a bottom side of the table. Boss Skiverton has a problem with goalkeeper as his first choice, John Sullivan, picked up an injury. He’ll give a debut to loanee, Stephen Henderson, coach Ben Roberts or youngster Steve Boore. Any of these 3 will have to cope with the pressure and rough life at Galpharm.

 

In my opinion, Hudders have been playing much under their full potential and need one trashing to get on the track. Poor travelers, Yeovil, look like an ideal opposition. 3-0, 4-0 correct score.

Huddersfield Town - AFC Bournemouth

In my opinion, Huddersfield are a strong contender for the place number 2 (just behind Sheff.Wed.) and direct promotion. They made an average start with 7 points from 4 games. They carry attacking style of play which, beside convincing wins against Notts County (3-0, away) and Charlton (at home 3-0), brought them two convincing defeats against Everton in Cup (1-5, away) and Posh (2-4 away, all 4 conceded in the 2^nd half after 2-0 lead). The biggest problems are visible when they face a team that “park the bus”, like Tranmere (0-0, at home). Some important players are returning to the squad. Young goalie, Alex Smithies, are back from England U-21, defender Lee Peltier has served his suspension, while winger Anthony Pilkington returns from an injury.

.

Bournemouth have made a flying start of the campaign with same number of points (seven) as today’s opponent. However, beside impressive home win vs. Posh 5-1 other win came from the game against top relegation contender Tranmere (3-0, away), while two last home games ended with the draws. First County scored twice for 3-3, then Torquay resisted in the Cup game (0-0, home). However, injury crisis has struck the club. Striker Symes and midfielder McQuoid are in serious doubt, while another two strikers Fletcher and Lovell are ruled out. New striker, Lyle Taylor, should start.

 

Bournemouth are a kind of the opponent that Hudders like to play against. They carry attacking style and won’t be defending with 10 players, while their recent results call on serious approach. Beside a win, home side should work on self-confidence. Correct score 3-0, 3-1.
