Saint Albert

Austin has done his hammy.

Hoj and Boufal, who both should have started are on for Davis and Tadic.

Davis about to come off, according to the commentators. I missed who’s coming on, but the commentators are surprised. Looks like a double sub now.

1-1. Who was supposed to,pick up their number 9 there? A free header.

Good chance for Huddersfield blocked. A Stephens give away set it up.

Damn should have been 2-0

The goal deflated Huddersfield and allowed Saints to settle down and play well. We’d be doing so much better if Boufal was playing instead of Redmond.

I like Austin but it was a very naughty kick to the defenceless keeper’s face long after he secured possession of the ball.

Another decent move but Redmond’s long shot is weak and right at the keeper.

The goalie almost gifted Austin a goal.

Saints are playing well now.

Great football from Lemina.

Damn. Is it a 3 game ban for violent conduct missed by the referee?

Stephens did well coming down the middle with the ball at his feet. His through ball is just too strong for Austin, who leaves his foot in and gives the keeper a bloody nose. That was a little naughty.

Six chances for Huddersfield to the home team’s one, so far. I hope the goal gives the team a bit of confidence and improves their overall play.

AUSTIN!!!! Good header by Hoedt sets him up for a close-range headed goal.

We’re having a decent spell of pressure right now.

Actually on replays it was an excellent FF save.

Huddersfield hit the crossbar.

Great chance for Huddersfield is blocked.

That was some ugly defending.

The commentators on my feed our mistified by the changes to the Saints team.

In his pre-match interview, he blames the Christmas fixture congestion for not picking VVD. He says that he’s been training well.

He’ll be in charge for the Spurs game whatever happens here.

I wonder what Les is thinking, looking at his manager’s team selections? We have two starters injured. Four more quality starters either on the bench or omitted from the squad (VVD, Hoj, Boufal and Romeu). and our only fit specialist right back is not even in the squad. Huddersfield must be thinking that Christmas has come two days early. Pellegrino must see some very interesting things in training, that I do not see during the matches. If we win, it won’t be because he’s picked the best side.
