apparently the ref spoke to both managers at half time, said if they don't make any attempt to win the game he would abandon the match and report both clubs to the FA...

unfortunately some town fans will find the excuse not to spend a tenner and todays result/performance gives them that perfect excuse. many of the same will expect dean to lay out his money to improve the squad. UTT

I've watched us 40 yrs now. I've completely givenp on seeing a great cup run like many clubs fans do. That was a disgrace today, feel sorry for many fans who just went for the cup game.

UTT That's my biggest disappointment today.....the crowd was 1k+ more than I envisaged to be honest! but could you blame ANY of em for not paying to come again?! Thousands of pounds per week per player on each team and it was like watching two district league teams........abysmal.

I really wish that given this was a cup game we had gone all out to win it. If you know a high percentage of the crowd are people who only see us a handful of times then it would have been good business to try and make a statement of attractive football.
I couldn't make the match today but not sure about the logic of not making it a tenner cash on the gate. Some of our internet marketing is utter shite, grabbing a few hundred new customers to your data base is all good as long as you have confidence your product is going to be worth a repeat purchase.
I can only pick and choose a game each month, planning to take my 8 years old son to an away game in the next few weeks. This won't put me off but I'm thankful I wasnt there today given the comments in the board tonight!

its not about improving the squad its getting a fair and honest return from the millions in wages we are already paying..
we didn't have any new pplayers, playing today and this manager like the last 2 cannot get any type of consistent effort or performance from the squad we have, why the hell would dean pay for more players that will come here and underachieve and lack the will and effort to make us a better team?
I wouldn't give powell the steam of my piss after todays 'nothing' .. other than putting shirts on with the badge on, nobody has then earned their money and in the end it was just a load of lads taking the piss and taking the money..

UTT I don't know about improving the squad, if I were Deano id lock the guys in the dressing room and ask them what is going on. I don't care how good or bad the players are , there is no excuse for not putting a shift in. Sadly after todays performance some fans may not really give a shit anymore.

Went in the North Stand for the first time, the fans were great and encouraged for the whole game, brilliant considering the crap served up. Made a point of listening as we left and I can't ever remember such negativity about a team in years. Rightly so!
I've said before, something is wrong at this club, I don't blame Dean in any way but something is not right. Players are not giving anything whoever the manager is. I would have preferred to spend my 12 quid watching some of the young local lads giving it a go. If we had lost 5-0 and looked like we wanted it I would have been happier.
Please CP be honest with us what is the problem. I know they are not your players so just tell us. You promised us a committed team, what we got, not for the first time was a pathetic, lazy performance. Not once did I see a player trying to get the fans going, if you need help from the fans ask, we have seen it before at other clubs. It was a case of walk on, go through the motions and get off.
One other thing, the warm up at the start looked like a joke. Just players shooting at goal. With other teams you see the sharp passing drills. Maybe I missed it but I think not as I was right behind the goal, it was pathetic. You could just tell they were seeing it as a joke. The Reading lads got in a huddle at the start, us, we lined up and went through the motions!
Let's clear out the trouble makers and dead wood, if we can and get so,e passion back.

I would hope that Dean has been in the game long enough now to know that managers/coaches and all the footballspeak is total bollox and just about anyone who has played/watched football for a while could manage a football team.
Maybe its about time the owner/wage payer got in there and had some hard words about contracts and players sitting in stands whilst their agents tried like fuck to get them moves when they are not even playing reserve team football at a little club like Huddersfield???
Might get him a better return than paying some more lads to come here and drop into the 'its good enough, ive done enough' attitude we seem to be getting.

The shooting at the reserve goalie only proves we can't shoot and puts the folk in the FML in danger. Today a volley from Hammell was the only shot out of 100 that I could applaud.

Today was a total embarrassment and I have major concerns about CP. Neither team looked like they wanted to win the game & 1 shot on target from 2 teams in 90 minutes is an absolute disgrace. Yes, the ref didn't help & the game might have been different if he'd booked their bloke the first time they threw the ball away in the first 10 mins, but if we had actually gone out from the start at a decent tempo we would have won comfortably. As it was, I reckon the FA should ban both teams from next year's competition and let teams that actually give a toss take part.
Today was a chance, with no league points at stake, to go out & attack, yet, far from the first time this season, it was obvious that CP had sent the team out not to concede & hope we nick summat from a set piece. I hate people that go on about possession stats, as this counts for nothing if all you do is pass it around the back 12 times then launch it forward as we did all game.
Both Vaughan & Bunn should have been hauled off for pathetic dives to try & win penalties and in a game where there wasn't a bad tackle cos nobody gave a toss about the result on the pitch, Huddersfield Town still managed to pick up a red card. You couldn't make it up. With Bunn looking like he's been found out, Lolley should have been given at least half an hour on the pitch, yet no...5 minutes once more.
I, & my two boys, are season ticket holders but I had to apologise to them today for bringing them up as Town fans, we were that embarrassingly poor. What incentive do we have for going next week? I don't think I can justify the extra match day expense if we are to be served up as useless, couldn't-care-less performance as that. It was a horrible, disgraceful "effort" today.

Totally agree Lodgey. It put me in mind of Sunday mornings on the park when a bunch of lads just entertain themselves by firing shots at the goal, or in this case at he fans behind it. This is a professional Championship club, not a pub team. If that's what the coaches offer get rid of em now!

I've said before, something is wrong at this club, I don't blame Dean in any way but something is not right. Players are not giving anything whoever the manager is. Too many players come to our club and think they're too good for it and it's a stepping stone to better things. Ward is a prime example - only time he's stepped up was when his contract was almost up. Guess what - he became Pele overnight, got a new contract and now we're back to normal. Not enough Peter Clarke's about - that's why I'd have kept him on. No passion, no leadership - even Powell is here as there was nothing better on the table. Put those same 11 today on performance based wages and watch them perform. The money is too easy and not enough at stake for them.

I've been today and was disappointed with the result and the game. But I've been more disappointed with some of the comments in this thread. The players tried hard enough against a team that came to stifle the life out of the game and they achieved their aim. Seen it before, it will happen again and contrary to other views it is impossible to produce an exhilarating attacking performance to order. Desperately need a striker who can dominate in the air when teams such as Reading arrive in Town.

It's skewed generation after generations expectations. There's a real problem because the expectation is always too big compared to the resources,and because of it the fans are never happy. They're not happy when we're winning and they're not happy when we're losing because they think we should be so much better. We can't create the right mentality within the crowd because of this and we're furthered hampered with the home end issue. I'm not gonna stop going down but I really believe the above is true, it's not about having 'high expectations' that drive us on, we need to support our team whoever is playing. The default position for the vast majority of fans is negativity and for the size of club we are we just can't carry that underlying feeling and ever expect to succeed.

First kick in the bollocks for our fans was todays defeat. Second kick in the bollocks would be if Reading draw a top premier league club home or away in the next round. Season over for most unless you enjoy relegation scraps.
