Even though Huddersfield are undefeated in the league since November, Town are in for a tough time at the Reebok Stadium tomorrow.

Simon Baldry is Lou Macari's biggest doubt. The local lad has been unable to train since he aggravated a thigh injury last Monday.

Macari said, "We had three or four players go home the other day but they were back the next day. Simon is the only doubt we’ve got. He has the same problem with his thigh as he did last week. And will probably miss tomorrow’s game unless there is a dramatic improvement in the next 24-hours."

The flu bug, which has hit Huddersfield hard, looks set to take its toll on first team selection. Scott Sellars is definitely out, while Jamie Vincent may not recover in time. Jon Dyson and Ben Thornley will play after missing training earlier this week.

Steve Jenkins looks set to start after a one-match suspension. It will be his first appearance in a Town shirt for eight matches.

With Huddersfield only above the relegation zone on goal difference, boss Lou Macari is hopeful that his side can pull away.

"Bolton are flying at the moment. They’ve got themselves up into second place and have done well in the FA Cup. But we’ve turned the corner a bit and gone nine games unbeaten so we’ll go there with a great deal of hope. The players have responded and improved their performances and I don’t think we can ask anymore from them."

Skipper Chris Lucketti has a similar view, “Bolton are on a roll and are particularly difficult to beat at home. But we are on a good run at the moment ourselves and I’m sure we can hold our own against them.

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce thinks Macari's men will be a danger, "They may be in the lower regions of the table but, on their current form, they would be mid-table or above. Having gone 13 or 14 games without a win, the fact that they've gone nine without defeat shows their resilience."


The Wanderers are boosted with the return of Michael Ricketts from suspension. The Birmingham born forward has scored 17 goals so far this season, including two against 'The Terriers'.
