The Huddersfield Town Sentinel
Match18 Aug 2029
Huddersfield Town taken apart
1‑5 to Middlesbrough, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Tempers go at Huddersfield Town
Cristhian Mosquera was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad20 Aug 2029
Alex Paulsen stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Alex Paulsen and Huddersfield Town agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad20 Aug 2029
Huddersfield Town lose Ephraim Yeboah
138 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Squad20 Aug 2029
No hiding place for Rodrigo Bentancur
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rodrigo Bentancur, and the manager let it.

A masterclass from Will Alves
Marked 8.58 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Boardroom20 Aug 2029
Huddersfield Town board go back on their word
Something was promised, a deadline passed, and it did not arrive. Trust inside a football club is built over years and spent in an afternoon.
Boardroom20 Aug 2029
Nobody left the Huddersfield Town dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

A long bet from Huddersfield Town on Timothy Reid
He is 17, and nobody at Huddersfield Town signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
- Market Huddersfield Town sign Michael Bailey, one for the future
- Market A long bet from Huddersfield Town on Jason Dixon
- Market Huddersfield Town buy the years ahead of Liam Fisher
