What I'd like to see: Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Meghoma, Charles, Downes, Rothwell, Brooks, Mara, Edozie What I expect to see: Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning, Stu, Smallbone, Rothwell, Brooks, AdamA, Fraser Strong squad either way with a string bench behind it. Lot of games coming up in not much time so we're going to need to rotate. I think Stu needs a rest, Fraser is looking a bit jaded and Downes likely to be out.

Midfield three has to be Downes - Smallbone - Stu Front three is harder. AdamA hasn't played well through the middle and Che is Che. So I'd go Mara at CF currently. Right wing looks like Brooks right now though maybe a bit harsh on AdamA. Left wing really nothing to choose between Fraser and Edozie. Fraser is more direct. Edozie really cruises past his man. I'd go with our earlier setup of start Edozie then punish with Fraser towards the end.

Mara has done some serious work in the gym. He absolutely shrugged a couple of players off a couple of times there. Can't see a case for starting Che over him any more. Tough choice between Edozie and Fraser for the other starting spot up front.

What an odd game. We were terrible for large parts of it and I have no idea how we managed to win. Our passing was aimless and we didn't attack or defend with purpose. When we did we sliced them apart. Roll on the next game.

Mara!

How is the ref saying no to that penalty?

Lovely finish that.

There we go. Now let's win this.

It's just lazy misplaced pass after misplaced pass. Credit to Huddersfield for marking our midfield out of the game but honestly this is pants.

Play with the intensity we came out after half time with and we win this. Keep doing what we're doing and we lose 4 or 5 -2

Our intensity has dropped off again

2-2!

Oh look the ref's found his yellow card.

It's not Huddersfield. It's us. We're flat. We keep giving the ball away and inviting pressure.

Ref's got a fiver on our run ending. Lots of challenges being ignored.

Baz out quickly there.

Lucky not to be 1-0 down there.

Our passing is a bit sloppy at the moment.

That should've been a yellow

I also worry about jinxing it. But this is the best football Saints have played in ages. Maybe even my lifetime. If we play our best we win no matter what Huddersfield do. And it feels completely strange and wrong thinking that.

On such details records are made (or otherwise)

We're going to lose our minds when we get to 25 unbeaten

Yup

Not

After all the hurtful things we've been saying about Huddersfield we don't deserve to win.
