Some win! Especially since they put out a strong side. Hopefully beat Oxford and then I'm in the fifth round!

Huddersfield's run ends at Grisham Park!
View attachment 359746
Huddersfield's unbeaten run of 20 games came to an end away to 6th placed Brentford. After Rory Fallon gave Brentford the lead, Huddersfield bombarded Brentford. It looked like they'd grab a goal but after 70 minutes Keith Southern was shown red! Huddersfield couldn't get hold of the game and Brentford eventually grabbed themselves a second.
Huddersfield do find themselves currently sitting second, eight points behind top placed, Bristol City.

With 15 league games to go, Derek Brown will certainly be keen to catch up on leaders, Bristol City.

Huddersfield have done well over the past two months, scoring on many occasions. Failed to score only four times this season.
Their most influential player over the past two months has been without a doubt, Oliver Norwood. After returning from injury he has dictated play and his passes and set-pieces have torn defences up.

Experienced central defender Matthew Upson has also been very good along with Joel Lynch and recently 16 year old Trevor Munns. Scottish attackers, Craig Mackail-Smith and Johnny Russell have been lethal in front of goal. Chelsea loanee, Gael Kakuta has slipped up a bit recently, showing complacency and inconsistency.
Huddersfield are currently preparing for a FA Cup Fourth Round clash with Oxford.
They've also began planning ahead as they've sealed deals for several youngsters, who you'll see more about soon.

A busy day for Huddersfield!

Huddersfield have tied up the contracts of both David Beckham and Leigh Griffiths hours before the transfer window closes. David Beckham, who has been without a club since being released by PSG last May, decided to return from retirement to play once again. He said "As much as I've enjoyed coaching England's under 21's along with Stuart Pearce; things just weren't working out. I've returned to play, I'm here until 2015 with the option of extending it another year and I'm happy with that. I look forward to working along with Derek [Brown] and I know a couple of the lads here, it'll be good.". They'll be a full press conference with Beckham in the coming days.
Leigh Griffiths also joined Huddersfield today from Wolverhampton Wanderers, it is believed he joined for a fee around £250k. He was set to join back in August however the clubs ran out of time to come to a conclusion with the deal. Griffiths told us "Yeah, I am absolutely delighted to be here. A few other Scottish lads here and I'm mates with a couple of them. I know Johnny well from playing with Scotland's under 21's, looking forward to pushing for promotion with them this season."
The two who join today are the only new faces in, however, Derek Brown has sealed a few kids on pre-contracts meaning they join come the season's end. 21 year-old Gavin Gunning will be reunited with Derek Brown and Johnny Russell come the season's end. French wonderkid, Lyle Grace (16) will join on a free and Argentine Valentin Vada will also join the forever growing squad in July. Winger Filipo Twardzik's loan deal from Celtic was also extended.

Wembley beckons for either Stoke City or Huddersfield Town, the FA Cup Semi-Final draw took place today live on Sky Sports One during Soccer A.M and as Manchester United were drawn favourably against Huddersfield Town or Stoke City and Manchester City were set to meet Tottenham or Chelsea.
Huddersfield are the smallest side left in the competition, ranking 46th in the English football pyramid (2nd in League One). They've so far saw off Bolton, Oxford, 2008 FA Cup winners, Portsmouth and Premier League side Burnley. Derek Brown's side have required a replay in the majority of games, but have still made it this far. They managed to fight back to grab a draw against Burnley, before seeing them off at home 2-1. They also only scraped passed Oxford and Bolton. 29 year-old Scotsman Craig Mackail-Smith has now scored 9 for the side in the FA Cup, sitting top of the FA Cup Top Goalscorer's list.
Chelsea are also wanting a place in the Semi-Finals. With them ten points off PL leaders Manchester City, they'd love to add the FA Cup to their League Cup victory. They're also competing in the Champions League under Spaniard, Rafael Benitez.
Manchester City, League leaders, Capital One Cup runners-up find themselves in the Champions League Quarter Finals also. They don't fear either London Club.
So, who will be getting their tickets to Wembley? Stoke or the Terriers? Chelsea or Tottenham?
You can get your tickets from here: Home | Wembley Stadium

A Good Time to Support Huddersfield!

Huddersfield are PROMOTED! Today, after a dramatic turnaround against Oldham, Huddersfield are OFFICIALLY promoted. It has looked likely for a while but today it was official. They're also gearing up for a trip to Wembley to take on Manchester United in a FA Cup Semi-Final after beating Stoke City 1-0 in the Quarter Final.
[video=youtube;N5aVTGsyD3Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=N5aVTGsyD3Y[/video]
Huddersfield boss, Derek Brown, has been praised for guiding his side to promotion! Can they catch up on Bristol City with 3 games to go? Will City drop points? Time will tell!

The FA Cup Semi-Final
Manchester United v Huddersfield Town
Wembley Stadium
Attendance: 90,000
Line-Ups:
View attachment 360556
United field a very, very strong side against a depleted Huddersfield side. Huddersfield are without Dixon, Ward, Tudor-Jones and Gael Kakuta.
The Match:
00' Huddersfield kick-off
19' Cleared off the line! Hernandez breaks through with his pace, takes it past Smithies but Lynch got back to clear it off the line!
22' Another chance for United! Young cuts inside and cracks the inside of the post from 20 yards.
28' United cut Huddersfield to pieces. They just don't have an answer for Hernandez as he finds himself in front of goal. He wouldn't miss. 1-0.
36' It's a penalty! Captain Vidic fouls Scotsman Mackail-Smith. Funnily enough, he see's no card!
37' GOAL! ex-Wigan midfielder, David Jones hits it hard and low from 12 yards. 1-1.
45' United don't let Huddersfield get to half time with the draw. Rooney drills it from 15 yards. 2-1.
Half-time 2-1 United
Gutted I couldn't get the lads in at half-time! Eurgh!
48' CABAYEEEE! He hammers it from 25 yards, poorly defended. 3-1.
50' Quick fire double from United. 4-1. Huddersfield sink without a trace. The dream is definitely over now.
84' Huddersfield to get out their own box, Mackail-Smith breaks away, knocks it back for Wotherspoon, goal. 4-2.
Full-Time. Manchester United 4-2 Huddersfield
"We scored two against one of the best clubs in the world. I'm happy. In all seriousness though, gutted the journey ended here but then again, delighted we reached Wembley. If we were better equipped and had some luck I reckon we could have crossed the line into the final, we defended poorly. It'd have been great making it to the final. Would have meant Europe next year! Oh well! Focus switches now."

End of the 2013 / 14 Season
Huddersfield Town
The end of the season is here! A successful one too? Or expected? Automatic promotion from League One into the difficult Championship. A very nice run to the FA Cup Semi-Final, a 3rd round knock out in the League Cup and we slipped out of the JPT as early as we could.
Some quick news before we leap into things. The board bought the stadium and plan to improve youth facilities and training.

Yeah, I'm happy with that. Second is first and first is second really. Either way, we go up. Smithies grabs the most clean sheets. Norwood grabs the most assists. Kakuta was up there until he slipped away after a very promising start.

Needing a back-up keeper, another decent back-up full back and a couple of squad players. I have no idea what to do with the 20million! I could add some real class to it, just not sure who!

Correct! I was so surprised when I saw "Cerda set to join for Huddersfield"! Cannot wait to see how he might do. Means I now have Johnny Russell, Craig Mackail-Smith, Leigh Griffiths and Cerda all wanting a place up front!
Cerda is surely the best bet? He must have bags of potential!
