Huddersfield Town Round-Up, Wednesday 11th November: Martin Drury Hails Strong Town Side After 4-0 EFL Trophy Win Over Liverpool U21s
Huddersfield Town eased to a 4-0 win over Liverpool U21s in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night, and the team selection for that game has been the main talking point since. Town fielded a strong line-up including Joe Taylor, which sparked debate among supporters given the game's low-key status in the competition, but the thinking behind the selection was explained as management feeling it was just as big a risk not to play key men as it was to play them (We Are Terriers).
Martin Drury wasn't present on the touchline for the win, and his explanation for that has got fans talking, with Football League World describing it as an extraordinary admission that caused a reaction among the fanbase (Football League World). Despite not being pitchside, Drury was clearly pleased with how his side performed, with the Yorkshire Post reporting he was enthused by what the 4-0 victory over Liverpool U21s told him about the character of his squad (Yorkshire Post).
The EFL Trophy win comes after Huddersfield Town's FA Cup exit, having lost 1-2 to Exeter last Saturday. Town's attention now turns back to League One, with a home game against Leicester at the Accu Stadium coming up on Saturday 21 November, followed by a trip to Doncaster on Thursday 26 November.
