LEAGUE ONE OFF TO EXCITING START
Gambling website totalbet.com has released their odds for promotion for this season. The favorites are Tranmere at 6 to 4. Other serious contenders are Nottingham Forest (7 to 4), Brentford, Bristol City, and Hartlepool (each 2 to 1), and Huddersfield (10 to 1). It would be an uphill battle, but finishing in the playoff spots is at least a very acheiveable goal for the Terriers this season, according to the oddsmakers.

HUDDERSFIELD TRAVELS TO PRIESTFIELD TO TAKE ON GILLINGHAM
Two key injuries still plague the Terriers as they travel to Gillingham. The same lineup will be submitted for the match as was submitted for the Brentford match, but Jones will have a close eye on a couple of players that didn't perform to his expectations in the opener.
Mendes comes on for an over-worked Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Nathan Clarke makes his debut replacing Andy Holdsworth who picked up an injury in the 16th minute. The scoring is opened in the 28th minute when Pawel Abbott intercepts a bad backpass and knocks it home from a good distance. The first half comes to a close with chances being just about even, but Gillingham having slightly more possession.
Mendes gets on the scoresheet for Huddersfield in the 53rd minute as he pounds home a rebound off of a Pawel Abbott shot to give the Terriers a surprising 2-0 lead. Gillingham answer back almost immediately when Scaramozzino fires a free kick over the wall and into the back of the net. Mark Hudson again replaces James Hand, this time in the 88th minute. After two minutes of extra time, the final whistle is blown, and Huddersfield wins 2-1.
