Neil made an observation, not a criticism. What’s the problem?
Even if it was a criticism, so what? Is he not entitled to voice an opinion? If PNE had lost, it would sound like sour grapes. As it was he thought it was a point worth making.
Some precious folk on here

Thought Preston & their tactics & the Ref, were disgraceful! Alex Neil is an arsehole! - UTT.

One positive from yesterday, nothing to do with the football though; the minutes silence was respected impeccably by absolutely everyone in the stadium. No stupid shouting outs - you could hear a pin drop for the whole of it.

Apart from the last 15 minutes, you were easily bullied. Did think the ref was a bit of a homer but your manager's antics on the touchline were embarrassing, Graham Westley esque. Pritchard looked a class above when he came on. Oh aye, the challenge on Elphick was a disgrace, might be serious injury ! Your time wasting tactics were pathetic. Nothing wrong with our great manager you lancashire lowlife. UTT Totally unnecessary over the top reaction. You really are an embarrassment.

Like Derby away, we never win at Preston. Let’s not worry. Pritchard returning is a big positive. Hogg absence makes a massive difference. Tough fixtures up to Christmas - need to regroup and prepare for the onslaught. They have been a team of physical players and long ball for several seasons. They may do it well enough to make the playoffs but won’t be in the automatic places come May. A gate of 16000 with such a large away following is shocking on their part. 12000 or so home supporters when they are 2nd in the Championship is dismal. For someone usually sensible and rational you do seem to have an issue with PNEs fan base. I would say all things considered we are pretty similar sized clubs.

Speaking to a few before the match who I know they were joking about another billy big bollocks team coming and disrespecting little old Preston. Quite nice that they see us in this light.

Personally I was hoping we'd approach Alex Neil after Wagner left, did a good job at Norwich and arguably doing a better one at Preston as they are probably on a lower budget.

Always considered Preston to be on an equal footing as us in terms of size, along with Blackburn, Burnley and Bolton. Obviously one or two of these sides may be on an upper or a downer at any particular moment in time.

It might well be Prestons time. They are the only one not to reach the PL. AN seems to have a good blend of ages, and as we know, the togetherness is the main key to getting over the finish line. I wouldn't begrudge them. Good honest northern town

From this information I then try to form a rational opinion. I see two clubs in similar sized industrial towns, both with a rich but somewhat faded history, both having plenty of other clubs competing for their support, both with similar attendances over the years. Towns recent success and cheap season tickets mean at the current time our crowds are a few thousand higher, hardly in a position to point the finger of ridicule at them.

Totally agree, look at it this way, two of the most obnoxious sets of fans there are, Wendies and Beeston, constantly bang on about how entitled their clubs are because of the size of crowd they have and it invariably sticks in your craw - no difference if we do the same to a Preston or Barnsley. The likes of AFCB today and Wimbledon from the 90's serve all of us well, you don't have to fill a 50,000 seater stadium to compete.

This defeat was really based on team selection, we must have know that PNE are a physical outfit, we chose to play a midfield with an average age of 21 with no great physical presence, we then compounded this with Diakarby and Katchunga. Even without the assistance of the referee with the first non free kick , the red card and the rest of Stockleys antics we didn’t stand a chance.We really should have played Stankovic as holding midfielder., ,

You are spot on about fans of those 2 clubs though.

Interesting blog from a Terriers fan. www.terrierblog.co.uk/post/preston-3-huddersfield-1-the-worst-game-of-football-ever-playedI'm not saying PNE played pretty football but with our best two players missing from this game ( both mid fielders ) I said we would probably play long ball. Page 3 of this thread. Maybe your manager should have read this forum or one of you should have sent him a text. It was pretty obvious how we'd play the game.... We did what we had to to get the three points. Job done. Manager " lets not hide behind referee decisions"

Manager " lets not hide behind referee decisions" Pay no attention, the lad is a bellend of the highest order & got run off this forum some time ago. The last we heard he was rimming Blake 'the weasel' Welton who was sacked by the local rag for being a shit journalist.

Opposing manager in overachieving by getting best from players at his disposal shock. They've had good results most of the season to date. We are still playing catch-up to some degree. Regroup over the international break and move on.

At least Kache put effort in.

The first goal, the free kick that led to it, can be watched on iFollow by those that have it. The angle isnt great but both players go for the ball but the Huddersfield player goes through Stockley to get it with studs up. If this isnt a foul then you can hardly call Ledson for the same thing on Elphick. ( IMHO when that tackle was made by ledson I thought he might get a yellow but never crossed my mind about a red. You know yourselves when you see your own player makes a crass challenge that it might be a red. ) But some will only see it from a Terriers point of view.

A case of a weakened town team IN PROGRESS v a Preston team that seems to have PROGRESSED abit further, and little or no room for error if town were to get anything out of the game.
Sadly it was clear to see the ongoing problem of lack of quality strength in depth to cover suspensions, injuries and players showing poor form, and this was clear to see in certain parts of the field.
The ref was about the worst i have seen for many a season , and should be reported by the club
Just hope town can bring in some quality when the window opens ,and replace those who seem to have passed their sell by date

We had nearly as many when we were chasing promotion out of the 4th division in 2003/04.

That picture does nothing to suggest it was a free kick. Both players had their feet up but Chalobah clearly played the ball. I might be in the minority amongst our fans but I'm still of the opinion that the yellow card for Ledson was correct and that it wasn't a sending off offence.

Happy? You're not the first to mention it. We dont care. You're not the first person with the 'we are a bigger club than you' syndrome to mention it. Leeds must hate playing you!

Fair play mate. We were bullied out of the game. We didn’t even turn up. We struggled physically, too many players had off days. I don’t think you were great but you did the job, which is what it is all about. All the best this season, be nice if it was your year, I like to see different teams promoted to mix it up a bit.
