At this stage, Powell is looking a bad appointment, as much for the style of play as for the lack of results. The one thing we had 6 weeks ago was real fighting spirit and togetherness - that was glaringly absent yesterday.

Highlights show we were generally the better team and created the better chances. Smithies isn't troubled till the flapping incident. And to add insult to injury it isn't a foul

madness to sack him at this stage, give him january to ship out (if we can) the deadwood and bring in 3 or 4. still doesnt paint over the worrying tactics deployed yesterday

From my seat in the riverside lower it looked to deviate up and down a lot but never really swerved off a straight line. It looked a lot like the Cristiano Ronaldo technique of toe ending the valve.

from my seat it looked like a ludicrously unnecessary sideways ball from coady, who had open field in front of him to move into and at least 2 much easier, shorter forward passes.
robinson kept it in and only their player reacted quickly to take advantage. their forward got the ball and ran with it at our defence and 'won' a foul(wether it was or not is quite immaterial, it was given)..
forget if it took a deflection or it moved in the air or even if smithies really should have saved it, our negative, dull tactics and play caused the goal. to say we were the better side is akin to comparing two turds and deciding which is best...
sunday morning standard football from both teams and clearly obtaining money by deception from all involved.

Despite some negative comments aimed against him I thought something was amiss as smithies shot stopping is usually excellent

It deflected off the head of a town player in the wall causing it to go up and down like you side. I believe the technical term is 'a smithies fuck up' even though it deflected.

Powell is far too negative to ever be a success in modern football.
He's the most negative manager we have had in a long while yet we can't bloody defend. You've got to laugh.

We lost to a set piece yesterday,cant remember them having much more efforts on goal,a soft free kick separated us,who let in five,and them who scored six the week before,yesterday our defending wasnt too bad,it was our midfield and forward play that stank the place out...powell deserved to be criticised yesterday but calls for him to go are fucking ludicrous.

Powell got it badly wrong yesterday and i just hope he learn's from that mistake. Birmingham were poor apart from a couple of good players in their side and i thought they were there for the taking.

"What the fuck have those results got to do with where we are now" - Every frigging thing - Because without those results we would be propping up the table with only 13 points, plus they show that we are capable of performing much better than we did today, when Powell and his players all under performed. However come next May, you and all the other "Panickers and Knockers" will be eating Humble Pie, after we cement our Championship credentials for yet another season. I think you know what I meant. A decent 7 match run, and of course no-one was calling for his head then. I am not calling for his head now, all I am saying is that you can`t in all seriousness excuse him from any criticism just on the strength of that successful mini-run. I hope you are right mate, and I am made to eat my words come May. However 3 games - Birmingham home, Rotherham away, Bolton home was surely an opportunity to get back on track. We desperately need at least 4 points from those next 2 or I worry our season will unravel. We can perform better, we have shown we can, but we need to arrest this slide starting Boxing Day.

Some of you Town fans must be the most fickle fuckers on this planet. I didn't hear any of you lot calling for Powell's head when he guided us to wins over third placed Brentford a couple of weeks back, or when we spanked Forest 3-0 at home, or when he took us to second placed Ipswich and secured a 2-2 draw. Eighth placed Blackburn also failed to beat us on their own patch, whilst ninth placed Wolves were hammered 3-1 at Molineux. So stop moaning and get behind Powell and the team for a change, instead of calling for his head after every set back. Top post good lad well said

One thing we should have learned by now is that changing your manager every five minutes just doesn't bloody work. We should judge Powell at the end if the season and providing we stay up we can take it from there. Face facts, we are a small fish in a big pond and any progress we make is going to be slow.

we should judge powell if and when he fails. that's how it goes in football. he failed badly on Saturday and backed it up with the interview where he came across very, very badly. I guess an apology for charging proper money for poor sunday league stuff was out of the question as it might affect the players and their 'morale' a manager of a football team is judged everytime his team play a competitive match, he is judged by his team, not his suit/appearance or wether he is a good guy or not. relatively speaking he gets paid a very good wage and nobody who works hard should feel the least bit of sympathy for him, he has been overpaid for what he does since he left school. I do not see him as a personality and that goes for the players as well, I have no desire to meet them or have their photos or autographs, they are employees and all I expect is that they meet the standards of performance for the division of football they are being paid to be in. no excuses for rubbish or a lack of effort or the ability to do the simple things in football correctly and often. we let in 6 and didn't score in our last 2 games, the team didn't perform well in either and that is down to powell, simple that's how it works. If and when chairmen or boards start sacking loads of underachieving footballers instead of just the manager and his assistant then you can re write the above.

Dean Hoyle I know you don't want to be seen as a sacking chairman, but Christ almighty you are as shit at picking a manager as Powell is a team. Don't let this knobhead be in charge for one more game. He doesn't give a shit about town, all he is bothered about is being in the media spotlight and spouting off about being a black manager,so please tell him Alex Dyer to take their soapboxes and fuck off back to London. ONE BILLY DAVIES THERE'S ONLY ONE BILLY DAVIES............................. Yeah lets get yet another manager.......knobhead!

We are not a small fish in a big pond , we are easily inside the top 40 English professional clubs , traditionally in the second tier of English football.

Everybody on this website is aware of what this team/squad are capable of especially going by the Forest and Brentford performances, and consistency is vital if the team want to to progress. Powell inherited a motivated /slik passing team from Lillis , and all that was required was to add strenth and depth in certain positions. It is Powells job to motivate and get the best out of the players on match day , and the boards job to provide players who have the ability to do the job. Powell has been given a second chance to prove himself at managerial level, and surely past experience tells him that there is little or no room for for error at championship level otherwise you will be punished. I and so many others do not want to witnesses negative style of play especially when the team are just above the drop zone, and even more important to entertain the crowd especially with the reported number diminishing gates.

SHOLD HAVE GONE FOR LENNON TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR FOR A HUDDERSFIELD TOWN CHAIRMAN TOI BUCK THE NO AMBITION TREND !!! To Put the record straight they did speak to lennon and he was impressed with what town had to say but got a better offer and took the bolton job. Not saying he was first choice as Powell was in the frame from the moment robins went.

Have people ever thought it isn't the managers but the owner? Hoyle talks a good game about not wanting us to go bust and complying with FFP, but while following these factors we are not progressing in the championship. It is often said that businesses need to take risks and don't believe that we have took many. At the end of last season he tried to take credit away from Bournemouth by saying that they lost about 12 million, but look where they are now. Mabey we need to spend more money on several players and not just one i.e Wells to really see progression. Opinions?

What will happen to Bournemouth if the above gamble doesn't pay off , especially as they have broken the fair play rules .There are clubs in the play off places that have abided by the rules,and not broken the bank in getting there. Just remember what happened to town when Ruberrys took a similar gamble and failed.

Could you just clarify who "we" is?
