Tommy Smith, Teddy Bishop and Luke Hyam return to the Town side facing Huddersfield this afternoon in place of Jonny Williams and Kevin Bru, who had been suffering with knocks, and the suspended Tyrone Mings.

Williams had been a doubt having taken a few kicks at Cardiff on Tuesday, as did Bru, who was also struggling with a tight groin. Ming picked up his fifth booking of the season against the Bluebirds.

Skipper Luke Chambers is set to switch to right-back with Tommy Smith coming in at the centre of the defence and Jonny Parr moving to left-back.

Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Berra, Smith, Parr, Skuse, Hyam, Bishop, McGoldrick, Murphy, Sammon. Subs: Bialkowski, Anderson, Hunt, Bajner, Tabb, Clarke, Ambrose.

Huddersfield: Smithies, Smith, Peltier, Dixon, Hudson (c), Lynch, Hogg, Butterfield, Coady, Holt, Wells. Subs: Murphy, Scannell, Ward, Wallace, Robinson, Paterson, Bunn. Referee: Richard Clark (Northumberland).

TimmyH added 14:42 - Oct 25 Good to see Hyam back and looks like Mick's again going with his trusty 433 formation of this season, hopefully now Bish has had a bit of a rest we'll see him playing some pretty direct passing this afternoon. COYB!

Daleyitfc added 14:49 - Oct 25 Good news : the vastly over-rated Jonny Williams is not fit to play today, so we have hopes of regaining our shape and stopping the rot. He needs sending back from whence he came if we are to get back to winning ways because he messes up the team every time he plays. We average 0.75 points per game when Williams plays ; for comparison, we average 2.2 points per game when Teddy Bishop plays.
