Why do we only ever seem to lose against teams in the various cups who are completely uninteresting and who we make naff all money from. If they're going to lose in the cups, can we at least make a bit of money from it for once, or maybe lose against a big/interesting team, rather than completely uninteresting, financially worthless teams like Reading, Charlton, Hull, etc? Yea like when we went to little old arsenal and nearly ended up winning it And how often does that happen? 9/10 we get drawn against an uninteresting/financially worthless team and lose. |

Huddersfield Town just never help themselves do they? I had planned to come up for the game, but I've got a bad eye and couldn't have driven. A 450 mile round trip saved there. Sounded absolutely desperate. If Huddersfield Town can't be bothered to take an FA Cup game seriously, then Huddersfield Town can have no complaints that supporters can't be bothered to turn up. Town need to take a long hard look at themselves. So you're saying those stay away fans are psychic then? Don't understand what you're getting at. Are you looking for an argument? I think MANY (most?) Town fans will be on here now and will not be the slightest bit surprised that Town have gone out of the FA Cup with a whimper.....yet again. Does that make them psychic? No, it's almost expected with Town. Supporters go on about Town rarely ever getting an attractive draw, but you make your own opportunities in the Cup. So, good luck to Bournemouth, they'll probably get Man City or Chelsea next, because they took today seriously. Town clearly didn't. Despite everything that I've just said, I'd still have been there if I could have. |

No shots on target! Does this show that Vaughan and Nahki can't play together? Did CP play 442 to show it doesn't work? Umm Those are 2 utterly bizarre things to say |

Dean slipped up when he decided to give the job to Chris Powell - Should have given it to Hope Powell then at least we would still have "Hope" - bad dum tsssshh We'd have only taken 39 Steps backwards if we'd given it to Robert Powell. Like it,this will go over most people's head. |

How a professional team can start a game like that is beyond me.
It has nothing to do with formations. Everything to do with desire, energy, belief.
I haven't been to a game for a while due to funds and have tried to remain positive on here. After that today though I can understand what a lot of the naysayers are saying. The approach/belief of the team is definitely concerning.
Not sure how different players will change things...

Thanks just seen your apology. Soz if mine offends, it's about the Arsenal post. You're seeing too much good mate where today there isn't any. I didn't go today or listen to it so think that helps. Think I'm just used to town being so inconsistent and I've just accepted it now and decided we will never be any different. Like at the Rotherham game, I wasn't upset or annoyed or surprised we pissed it away at the end. Don't know what that means but think its that I've just kinda given up on us. still hold out hope we will have our time in the top flight during my life time. |

Chelsea...three times, West ham,everton hull,arsenal,birmingham,even back to Liverpool are all recent.. Ish..draws against prem teams. |

Lost against a poor reading team, lost against a very poor brum team, threw away a two goal lead to a poor rovrum team just managed a win against a terrible Bolton team lost (still can't understand how) to a shite Fulham team oh and lost to an awful Bolton team away. I'm fed up of excuses from management. If their that awful why are they beating us so easily? I genuinely believe we have a solid mid table squad so why are we languishing in the bottom six? Players don't want it or happy to settle for 21st place? Poor management? Or is the overall picture the fact that we are little ol Huddersfield and I just view my beloved team through rose tinted lenses?

Same old. Oh for a decent run in the cup - I'm sure most teams have them at some point. Disappointing yet again.

Poor today, I was particularly unhappy with Smith and Bunn, Smith is very negative and Bunn stays out of the game for long periods. We missed Butterfield energy and forward drive in midfield.

Stop it your not allowed to remember those games, only the bad ones. Seriously though it would be interesting to see the stats on how many times we have had a prem team in cup compared to other teams in lower divisions. |

Hating going out but it doesn't feel half as bad as going out last year. We had a real chance of going places last year and threw it away.

Today we had a chance to get to the 4th Round. Both against mediocre Championship teams. Both at home, both ended 0-1. Town failed, both times, don't see the difference personally. |

There is a much higher chance of getting a decent draw if we play 2 or even God forbid 3 games in the FA cup each season.
Today was a good opportunity to find some form, excite the fans and get through to the next round. Instead we have pissed off our fans, lost an opportunity and we have a key player now suspended for next week.

Am I cynical or was today about CP proving some points?
We can't play a 4 man midfield with 2 wingers.
We can't play 2 upfront with 2 wide men.
We don't have the depth to rotate the squad.
Maybe I'm doing him a disservice but, after the blood and guts display vs Bolton, where he still got stick for the formation and perceived negativity of 4-5-1, maybe it was a case of showing the hecklers why he doesn't do as they demand.

Look at the bright side.
At least we have less matches to sit through knowing we are crap.

Last year it was a fourth round tie not a third - we'd beaten Grimsby in the third (3-2, last minute OG). For what it's worth it didn't help last year that the draw put Charlton with Sheffield Wednesday in the 5th, then Sheffield United in the QF. Awful performance today (two man midfield does not work when the opposition have 3 across the middle - Coady and Hogg weren't in the game at all and were chasing shadows). |

Well, if so, he proved his point! He gave the fans what they wanted (ie 2 up front) , but with 4-4-2 you need penetration down the flanks. Give Hammill a start, fair enough (sounds as though he didn't show much?) - but why not ditto Lolley, for Bunn - he's been poor for a few weeks now, and Reading know all about him, after his good game at their place in the League. |
