Excellent picture & sound quality on this FA Player thing, what you'd expect I guess but it's far better watching than Ifollow.

I love our coach but I'm surprised & disappointed by just HOW much he's weakened the team for this fixture. Honestly, my most realistic hope is just that we keep the score down.
Congratulations on getting through to the 4th round.
Looking at your pseudonym, we had a player called Chris Billy who came from Huddersfield in the ‘90’s. Is there a connection?CBilly's slippers":izg1ki7t said:Congratulations & good luck for the rest of the season.
Yep. The name "Chris Billy's slippers" was too long to be accepted by the forum so I had to shorten it. It's a reference to when he was at HTFC, he went through a spell where he couldn't keep his feet - it was as though he was playing in slippers rather than studded football boots.davie nine":18m50ngz said:Looking at your pseudonym, we had a player called Chris Billy who came from Huddersfield in the ‘90’s.

There's mixed views amongst Town fans about this. On the one hand, not likely to go up or down, a cup run might add a bit of interest in what is probably the first season in over a decade where we've not had an eye on either trying to get promotion or fearing relegation.Knibbsworth":1pi3ziif said:CBilly's slippers":1pi3ziif said:Vallejo (making his debut) is 28.

Very odd that a midtable second tier side is treating the FA Cup like they don't particularly want to be in it.
Given that all the Prem clubs put sides like that out these days, I'd have thought it was a great chance for a side like Huddersfield to get to the quarter finals, semi finals and who knows?
Instead they are putting a side out as if the first team schedule is packed with Champions League football, and any chance for a rest weekend is a godsend.

Depends which version of Paul Dalton if we're basing it on their time at Huddersfield.gaspargomez":23u8rv9l said:Fair points. But who would you rather have in your team ? Chris Billy or Paul Dalton ?
