TOWN v HUDDERSFIELD: Same again for Terriers test


DANNY Wilson has kept faith with the same line-up from Saturday's victory at Carlisle, as Town entertain Huddersfield at the County Ground tonight in League One.

It means another start, and a full home debut, for the weekend's goal hero Charlie Austin, alongside Billy Paynter up front.

The defensive unit of Kevin Amankwaah, Gordon Greer, Scott Cuthbert and Lecsinel Jean-Francois will be aiming for a fourth consecutive clean sheet.

However, they are up against the division's in-form side, with Huddersfield having won their last five games in all competitions.

Former Swindon target Theo Robinson, who almost signed on at the County Ground in the summer, is on the bench, while the dangerous Anthony Pilkington and Gary Roberts are on either flank.

TOWN (4-4-2): David Lucas; Kevin Amankwaah, Scott Cuthbert, Gordon Greer (c), Lecsinel Jean-Francois; Jon-Paul McGovern, Simon Ferry, Jonathan Douglas, Anthony McNamee; Billy Paynter, Charlie Austin

Subs: Phil Smith, Callum Kennedy, Craig Easton, Michael Timlin, Lee Peacock, Alex Revell, Ben Hutchinson

HUDDERSFIELD (4-4-2): Alex Smithies; Lee Peltier, Peter Clarke (c), Nathan Clarke, Robbie Williams; Anthony Pilkington, Michael Collins, Antony Kay, Gary Roberts; Lee Novak, Jordan Rhodes

Subs: Matt Glennon, Joe Skarz, Andy Butler, James Berrett, Jim Goodwin, Lionel Ainsworth, Theo Robinson
