Toney starting for Scunthorpe against Bradford on Sky. Been on the bench for most of his spell there so can't see him having much of a future with us, but good to see the lad get a game.

15 points from their last 9 isn't that impressive. Certainly can't see them passing us, despite having to play us. We are 9 clear of them with a +22 goal difference (which might get narrowed but definitely not overturned - unless we lost to them by 5 or so at SJP), so we can basically afford to lose 3 of our games and then match them over 5 games. That's not going to happen. I still have my doubts over Huddersfield, but that's assuming they win their game in hand over those at the top. Potentially 4 behind is much closer than 9 at this stage so I'm not worried about Leeds at all. I'd be very surprised if they made up the 8 points on Brighton as well. They could end the season strongly and pip Huddersfield to 3rd, that's not beyond them (still unlikely IMO) but the top 2 are just too out of reach for me.

1 win in 10 since selling the likes of Winnall and Hourihane clearly won't have helped fans opinions, but doesn't look to be having too great a time of late: http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/adam-armstrong-cant-hit-a-barn-door.254897/

Looks like Huddersfield's Izzy Brown is now injured and has pulled out of the England U21 games. Looking like a very costly game that Bristol one with the heavy defeat and losing Hogg for the season.

There is Middlesbrough away to be added to that list, but obviously won't make any real difference if you're just seeing 7 points. One way they can look at it is they are 7 behind Swansea with a game in hand and they still have to play them at home. Plus their goal difference is better. They have 3 'big' clubs and Leicester away which are tough, but they should be looking at getting points from the other games, particularly West Ham (who have lost to 2 strugglers in a row now), Swansea and Bournemouth at home. However, this was arguably their easiest game on paper and they didn't take advantage. You can get 9/1 on them to stay up now so it is clearly unlikely.

Massive result!

He is one of their better players and has just come back from another injury Mind, that Billing was impressive against Man City in the cup the other day and he scored their winner against Reading the other week so a decent enough replacement to bring on.

Awful scenes. The odd pulled hamstring you wouldn't mind seeing, a routine 2-3 week out, but this doesn't look good at all. At least there is movement from him now

They do have a game in hand though. Before yesterday we could afford to lose 2 games and then match their results, now we just have that 1 game buffer. You'd obviously still prefer to be in our position but they aren't going to go away easily and yesterdays result hasn't just come out of the blue, we may have been unbeaten in 10, but we were pretty poor in a few of those games, that first 40 mins vs Villa in particular. Massively important that we win next week to take us into the international break.

Yep, that's kind of how I see it. I know they can be the most dangerous, but in our last 4 games none of the opposition will have anything to play for. Cardiff have been in form (although no wins in 3) but their fans will see that as a big game and it probably will be tough. With Barnsley, Preston, Wigan, Burton at home and Ipswich and Birmingham away you'd like to think we'd win most of those. So if we do get something like 19 or 20 points, say 6W 1D 3L or 6,2,2 or 5,4,1 etc then that will be a total of 96 / 97 points and would then mean that Huddersfield would have to win 9 and draw 2 or win 10 and lose 1 of their last 11 games to pip us and that will be very unlikely. We can basically lose 2 of our final 10 and then just match Huddersfield in their run in to gain promotion. Very strong position.

Bit of a disadvantage that we'll likely lose a few of our players in the forthcoming international games, most of our rivals players will have 2 weeks off, yet we are expected to lose: Ciaran Clark - Ireland vs Wales Daryl Murphy - Ireland vs Wales Paul Dummett - Ireland vs Wales Grant Hanley - Scotland vs Slovenia Matt Ritchie - Scotland vs Slovania Aleksandar Mitrovic - Georgia vs Serbia Mats Sels - Belgium vs Greece Senegal (Diame) and DR Congo (Mbemba) both have friendly matches. Senegal have 2 but both are in Europe. Doesn't look like Ghana have any games announced. Not sure if Anita or Elliot will be in their respective squads. Yedlin and Hayden would have been on duty as well but I assume injury will rule them out of their respective matches. Quite a core of the team gone there which would have been better resting / training together for 2 weeks.

My mate had a fiver on every game to have at least 1 goal, returned over £200. He won't be pleased

Huddersfield lead now

Not tonight though i doubt, Rotherham are down to their bare bones.

Will fire Huddersfield up just as much to be fair.

Best set of 3pm's for a long long time. Sunderland look screwed and Brighton losing 3-0 and Duffy looks injured. Hopefully we get at least a point (would love 3) and totally round it off.

Wood on fire!

Their bench has all first teamers on, best we can probably hope for was a few knocks to their starters so their regulars would come on, but we really can't gauge anything from this match

Not bad at all and interestingly in the last 5, we've won 3 of the games that were on Sky and didn't win the 2 games that were not, that's a major contrast to earlier in the season.

It will be a second string tomorrow though. They made 8 changes to the City game from their midweek win over Rotherham and then after the City game made nine changes to the team that beat Reading last week. Team news for Huddersfield Town vs Reading on Tuesday 21 ... www.htafc.com › News 21 Feb 2017 - Wagner makes nine changes to the XI from Man City. Wagner is banned from the touchline in both games which might help a bit

Can you tone it down man. You don't have to keep repeating the same negative s**** at every possible opportunity you know? I've noticed pretty much every post by him is negative, probably an undercover mackem. To be fair, there are plenty of those (us) on their forum.

Much better response

Was that 9 wins and 4 draws from the final 13 or 10 wins and a draw? Very ambitious either way mind I think we'll struggle to get 26 points.
