How many Huddersfield Town debuts will we see against Guiseley?

That's the question on everyone's lips and keyboards ahead of the first pre-season friendly of the summer.

We already know this encounter has come too soon for Manchester City loanee Aaron Mooy , but there are plenty of other new faces for us to run the rule over in a Town shirt for the first time.

Scannell the hero

Huddersfield Town’s new faces were on show, but it was old favourite Sean Scannell who ensured victory in their first friendly.

Scannell struck just before the break at Guiseley, where the visitors always looked comfortable and in control against their National League hosts.

Scannell hit a post before he netted, while both Nahki Wells and Kyle Dempsey hit the bar from distance.

Sean Scannell’s goal gets Town’s pre-season off to a winning start.

82mins: Lolley goes close!

Collective gasps from the spectators as Lolley’s drive flies just past the upright. That would have been special.

  • Share

81mins: Nearly a debut goal!

Jack Payne so close to his first for Town after being played in neatly by Harry Bunn but his sliding shot is just wide of the far stick.

  • Share

75mins: Williams on, Paurevic off

Welcome to the action Jordan Williams. He’s only 16 by the way.

Ivan Paurevic goes off - the late end to the Russia season means he’s a little way behind the others in terms of fitness so this was always planned.

72mins: Germans impressing

Michael Hefele, Centre back, has just volleyed a ball straight to the feet of Loewe. That is not bad at all young man, Loewe is fouled, and then puts the free kick into a very dangerous area that just evades a Town head - who else but Hefele.

63mins: German down

Chris Loewe is taken out. He’s fine to carry on but during his time on the ground one of the spectators yelled: Welcome to England!

Hefele was right on the scene to reply - consensus is he shouted “Not England, everywhere!”

  • Share

55mins: Now we've started!

Oof, chances coming thick and fast now. Chris Loewe definitely an attacking left back - he’s racing down that wing and pulled off a really neat move to leave his opposite number lagging 5 yards behind him. His cross is cleared, just, but falls to Dempsey who strikes the crossbar.

Much better.

Hefele making his presence felt

The big German has just fed Loewe and then unleashed a guttural yell that I think was meant to say press. He’s certainly a leader.

50mins: Save!

Great stop from former Town keeper Ed Wilcynzki to deny Elias Kachunga his goal - all the work done by Joe Lolley with a great driving run.

HT: Guiseley 0-1 Town

Scannell’s goal the difference. Very much reminiscent of the first friendly of the season this.

44mins; GOAL!!

At last, Sean Scannell breaks the deadlock! Assist by one Christopher Schindler.

Every day's a school day

41mins: Woodwork!

It does not get closer than that! Nahki Wells unleashes a long, long ranger and it smacks off the bar. Argh.

  • Share

35mins: Nahki shoots over

Wells won the free kick - central, around 20 yards out - and took it himself. He’s not that far over the top of the crossbar but the keeper is untroubled.

  • Share

32mins: Billing at the heart of the action!

This time the Dane attempts another spectacular 25 yarder and the keeper just gets there to save it. Town finding the final ball hard to come by at the moment.

  • Share

28mins: First chance for Guiseley!

Cursed by me there, Hogg gives away the ball in midfield and suddenly Town are scrambling. Schindler did well to force his attacker wide left, and therefore when the ball came across for Oli Johnson the angle was so narrow it went straight back across to the covering Schindler.

  • Share

22mins: Chance Town!

Not a lot going on, although Hogg and Billing mopping up everything in midfield to excellent effect but there is a quality chance- Billing feeds Hiwula and he plays in Scannell who hits the post!

  • Share

Bit harsh on Jason!

Let us bury those memories of Kane’s set pieces forever. Please.

  • Share

13mins: Take a bow Philip

Fantastic through ball from Phil Billing goes a full 60 yards and gets a warm round of applause but Jason Davidson is just offside.

  • Share

9mins: Town on the front foot

As you might expect, Town doing the pressing and they win a corner, but the short corner routine fails to come off. Scannell doing well on the right wing so far, looking to protect the ball and run aggressively at his full back.

  • Share

Schindler unruffled

The record signing so far proving he can do it on a Wednesday night at Guiseley. Not much to do with plenty of possession for Town, but looking totally composed and at ease. More please.

Yep

I just said exactly the same

Kick off

Away we go!
