Huddersfield Town travel to Swindon looking for a second away win in a row, and to consolidate and possibly even move up a place in the league one table.
Town have of course enjoyed a glut of home games in a row, which have all provided plenty of goals and a full return of points, they must now go prove that the away form is sorted and a win at The County Ground would certainly show that everything is on the right track.
Swindon will not make it an easy game with ex-Leeds players Jon Douglas and ‘keeper Dave Lucas in their ranks along with Ex-Bradford and Port Vale striker Billy Paynter firing in the goals in the absence of the departed Simon Cox.
Vital Quotes:
Lee Clark spoke to the clubs official site ahead of the trip to Swindon:-
‘We have to dictate the pace and try to take the sting out of the home supporters by playing to a good standard. That is exactly what we did at Oldham in our last away game’
An away game of course that Town won, and Clark will be looking to make it two away wins in a row at the County Ground
Swindon Team News:
Danny Wilson looks set to name an unchanged line up for the visit of the magnificent Terriers
Player to watch: Billy Paynter
Swindon’s top scorer is the biggest threat to Huddersfield’s back line but its the Swindon defence that hopefull will need to be worrying
Huddersfield Town Team News:
Lee Clark has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Swindon and it is expected that he will yet again name an unchanged line up!
Why change a winning formula!
Player to watch: Anthony Pilkington
Pilks is on fire at the moment and will be key to a good away result on Tuesday Night.
