Set pieces are likely to be pretty important at Hillsborough tomorrow.
Portsmouth have conceded 15 goals from dead ball situations in the Championship this season – the only side to concede more is #SWFC (17). Set pieces have been Wednesday's big Achilles heel for years. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ We're coming up to the midway point in the January transfer window and #htafc have already signed 3⃣ players.
Big statement of intent to bring in Bali Mumba. The sort of player who should excite the fans. His versatility gives Town more options in the wide areas.

John Mousinho says Portsmouth's injury crisis is the worst he has had in his time at the club. They will be without 9⃣ players for Saturday's trip to Hillsborough.
If he thinks that's bad, he should have a look at what Henrik Pedersen has got to work with. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Will Alves in the No 10 position? Works for me. A very impressive half of football from him against Rotherham. Stunning opener.
Cameron Ashia has looked lively at left wing back. Still no idea why he wasn’t in the squad on Saturday. Is a huge threat. Bizarre decision. #htafc

The Vertu Trophy feels such a pointless competition until you get to the final stages.
Clubs rest their top players and only the diehard fans go to watch the matches. It’s a farce Premier League U21s play in it too. Is like watching reserve football.
Revamp the whole thing.

🔵⚪️ If #htafc sign Bali Mumba, that’s a great bit of business. Would give them more pace and trickery on the right flank. Not sure where that leaves Gooch and Sorensen. Or will Sorensen be shifted to the left and one of Miller or Roosken may go? Interesting one.

Anyone else think it would be a very #SWFC thing to do to beat Portsmouth on Saturday and secure their first double of the season?!! Or is that just wishful thinking on my part? 🦉⚽️

Had the pleasure of interviewing Dalton Smith and his dad a few times over the years. Brilliant family. Chuffed to see Dalton win a world title. His hard work and perseverance has paid off. It’s great to see good people doing well. #SWFC 🥊

Watched back the highlights of #SWFC vs Brentford - Wednesday did well to keep it down to two goals. Stand-in captain Svante Ingelsson was the only starter aged over 22.
Gutted for Pierce Charles. Hopefully the injury is not as bad as it looks. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Lee Grant on Town’s loss at Stockport: “We’ve still got another gear to find when it comes to our bravery, particularly away from home.
“We have to go back to the drawing board. There’s more in the group and right now we’re coming up short in these moments.” #htafc

🔵⚪️ One of the few positives for #htafc was Murray Wallace. He was immense and didn't deserve to finish on the losing side.
Town have lost SEVEN of their 13 matches away from home this season. They are a soft touch and there's a lack of leadership in the group.

🔵⚪️ Town fall to fifth in League One. They deserved to lose today for showing no attacking ambition in the first half.
The owner has invested heavily in this squad and #htafc have played like they're one of the minnows of the division vs Lincoln and Stockport. Way too passive.

🔵⚪️ Town fans made their feelings clear at full time, chanting: 'Lee Grant your football is s***'
There were boos from the away end towards the #htafc boss as he went over to clap them.
Another defeat to a top team. Their XG in the first half was 0.10. Unacceptable.

🔵⚪️ Alves has been superb since coming on. Has got Huddersfield Town's attack going. Is so positive on the ball and likes to drive at defences.
Moments ago, Gooch was denied by Hinchliffe. Nicholls made a routine save at the other end. Will there be a late winner? #htafc

🔵⚪️ If Lee Grant rated Joe Taylor, he'd be on by now. Lost count of how many times Dion Charles has been caught offside. The front two haven't had a lot to work with, but Charles has struggled to make an impact.
Town have missed Alfie May as an option. 78 gone. 0-0.

🔵⚪️ Wallace exchanges some words with a Stockport fan after the supporter threw some water at him after he went down under a heavy challenge from Fevrier. Looks like the fan has been told to leave the stadium.
