Huddersfield Lose To Forest, Out Of Capital Cup
[Updated] Nahki Wells and his Huddersfield Town teammates will have to overcome Nottingham Forest this evening [Aug 26] to progress in the Capital One Cup.
According to the BBC, Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in eight games with Huddersfield, having won five and drawn three.
Huddersfield Town Caretaker Manager Mark Lillis says the squad is ‘up for the fight’ when Championship leaders Nottingham Forest visit the John Smith’s Stadium for this evening’s match up.
Mr. Lillis said, “It will be a good challenge against Forest, because they’re top of the Championship. They have good players with lots of experience and I’m sure they’ll be targeting promotion to the Premier League this year.
“We’re up for the fight as well. It’s great that we’re at home – we’re looking forward to the game.”
“The Capital One Cup is a great competition and I don’t think teams take it lightly. It’s an important competition for Huddersfield Town, because you never know who is round the corner if you progress.”
Nahki Wells grabbed a hat-trick in Huddersfield’s 5-3 win over Chesterfield in round one of the Capital Cup.
