I say again, let's bring back Ken Davy shall we? Short memories some of you have. What's Ken Davy got to do with not being able to organise a defence or signing journeymen dross from Blackpool and Birmingham ? We've come a long, long way since those days but people criticise and spit their dummies out everytime we get beat. Of course I want us to play better and win but I also try to have some perspective and patience in my SUPPORT.

Some of you lot on here are worse than pathetic. 11 points clear of 3rd bottom (effectively 12 with GD), with only 11 games to go & apparently it's the end of the world for some. 4 more losses than the bottom 3 until the end of the season? Oh yeah, we'll be fine then. We've only had 2 severe losses this week.

Why should fans be content with losing 3-0 then 4-1 in successive games? Yes we are a distance from relegation but the football and results are poor. Fans pay to be entertained and have every right to voice concern at hammerings. Who said anything about being 'content'? If you think some of the utter shyte spouted in this thread (& usually after every defeat) is 'voicing concern' then fair enough, but I'll call it what it really is - utter shyte.

So what teams are we hoping will be shitter than us next season as this seems to be the long term masterplan.

Surely Powell is not thinking of retaining Hudson , Edgar and Wallace for next season. All three players would struggle in lower league football , and towns abysmal defensive record is a statement in itself. The club seems to be aiming to crawl over the safety line which will be mainly down to other teams failures, and that does not send out the right message to those fans who the club rely on to re knew their season cards for next season. What the club needs to be doing with the rest of this season is trying to build a team that could put in a challenge for next season, and all the negative play shown by Powell is certainly not the same Huddersfield town that I have known throughout my lifetime.

Let's just look at the FACTS. Last season after 35 games Town had 44 points sat 14th, 15 points above the drop zone. Goals 45-46 GD -1 This season after 35 games Town has 42 points sits 16th (17th if Leeds get 1 point tomorrow) 11 points above the drop zone. Goals 45-60 GD -15. That is NOT progress. Agree but Town's definition of progress seems to be - merely staying in this league

Just seen the highlights. Were Hogg (2nd goal) and Coady (4th goal) trying to score OGs? Chuffin dangerous.

If you think some of the utter shyte spouted in this thread (& usually after every defeat) is 'voicing concern' then fair enough, but I'll call it what it really is - utter shyte. Of course its voicing concern. Its a football forum, you have to accept a difference of opinion and a difference in how that opinion is portrayed. I think you need to man up and appreciate that its not always all smiles and roses, sometimes folk need a rant and come on here to do just that. I am generally a very constructive poster and I agree there are certain posters who gain more pleasure in us losing than us winning, today however was another poor performance and it will (rightly or wrongly) draw some contrasting opinions.

It's blokes like Coddington I feel sorry for who set off down there at lunchtime and is still a few hours away from getting in right now.
That's where my frustration comes from.
2 big defeats away, they should be doing better than that for the away fans doing 500+ mile round trips. That's what's disappointing me about Powell.

Very well said. Its highly likely those fans will say nothing and just go again next week also. They deserve better than 2 demoralising defeats.

Maybe some on here are happy with year on year mediocrity, because that's all we are going to get with the current mind set of Hoyle and Powell, who seem happy to have us as perennial relegation scrappers until our luck finally runs out again and we end up back in League One. Do me a favour, with 60 goals conceded I'd even back non league Emley or Ossett Albion to net a few against us.

Hudson will be on a good screw so we won't be getting rid of him and hasn't Wallace just signed a new contract. As for Edgar he's ok as a back up centrehalf but as a midfielder he makes Antony Kay and Tommy Miller look like Platini and Zidane !!! The worrying thing about that is Powell stated that he would only sign players that were better than what we had and improve us !!

Just had a text from someone who went and said the Town fans sang their support for 90 minutes (same as at Charlton). When you compare that to some of the 'supporters' on here it makes you think.

I'm sure once those who've been singing at the game tonight will be just as pissed off with the shite served up over the last 2 games as those venting their spleens on here now.

Keep smiling
There's a team that's dear to it's followers, Their colours are bright blue and white, They're a team of renown, they're the talk of the town, And the game of football is their delight.
All the while upon the field of play, Thousands gladly cheered them on their way, Often you could hear them say, Who can beat the Town today?
Then the bells shall ring so merrily, Every goal shall be a memory, So town play up and bring the cup, Back to Huddersfield,
We're Yorkshire! We're Yorkshire! We're Yorkshire!

Two who went both texted and said Town gave it a good go but were beaten by a very good side tonight

Clearing out the 'dead wood' in January was always needed, but with the lack of recruitment, it seems the squad is too thin now. With a couple of injuries, we seem to be down to bare bones and unable to adjust any playing style effectively to counter the opposition.
We seem like a 'one trick pony' sort of team - sometimes the setup works, other times it fails badly.
Complacency through a lack of competition for places or a 'can't be bothered today' attitude could be an issue? Many can have an 'off day' in their job and get by, but that doesn't work out on a football pitch.
I realise that the score is the only stat that really matters, but the other stats tonight were woeful...

I'm not defending the performance. Of course it was a poor one, just like Charlton which I saw with my own eyes. But, a lot of what you call 'voicing concern', which you later labelled as a 'rant', is completely over the top, as per bloody usual.

We were comprehensively outplayed by a team at a different level to us tonight. Nothing to do with lack of effort or trying. Same as at Bournemouth where we lucky to not be similarly tonked.
The made us look very ponderous in defence. They were all over us from start to finish.
We aw not really competitive against teams with quality quick players with slick passing and movement like Brentford, Bournemouth, Derby etc.

There is no way this squad should be shipping 3 and 4 goals on a regular basis, however good the opposition at this level! What sickens me are the continued repetition of poor errors - bad set piece defending, allowing too much space, basic mistakes under no pressure a la Hudson at Norwich, smith v boro, Wallace crap clearance at Bolton to name but 3!

To get quality costs money and we havnt got the cash to attract better players are so it seems. Anyone who thinks we are safe are deluding themselves but we are capable of staying up but its going to be a close thing

That's what I don't get about allowing the cull - it was surely to allow more time for the young lads to come thru, and yet 5 wks on we have only seen Carroll and Boyle's 90 sec cameo......I'm at a bit of a loss right now understanding what we are looking to achieve, particularly as majewski and Gerrard have hardly featured and goburn has made way for Edgar after doing well in his last game.

Gobern had a cracking game once, forgot which it was at home. Even he is much better than Edgar David's .
