I think the bottom 4 as it is now will be the 4 teams down there all season, MK and Preston might get sucked in as their confidence disappears, just hope we end up on the right side of the dotted line I think you've got to make it the current bottom 5. Pretty sure Bristol will be in contention.

I disagree Jonny, and yes I went today. Whitehead and Hogg offer no attacking threat at all. Both defensive midfielders. Whitehead has been dreadful, he only seems capable of passing the ball backwards. Dempsey got a load of assists last season for Carlisle, and chipped in with 10 goals or so too. What is the point in signing a player like that and not giving him a game at all?! Miller can barely last for an hour. This is a guy that struggled to get into Blackpool's team before we signed him. Hiwula scored goals last season, Lolley has performed brilliantly every time he's started for town. You see where I'm going?! I could write more but it's just making me angry! . How on earth can you say Whitehead was dreadful??? We nullified an ex premier league team all game bar a 5 minute spell due to our play. I agree we shouldn't be so defensive at home but to single Whitehead out is plain daft. I meant during the season so far. Yes he held things up well today but he offers no attacking spark. Him and Hogg are too similar in my opinion, they cancel each other out.

we tried to win the game all the way through.. we had one shot(a long range from Butterfield)to show on target for 93 minutes..
they had 2 and won the game..
the amount of poor touches/mis kicks in good positions is becoming very annoying..
qpr didnt really try to win the game and thats worrying.
watching scannell or davison and then the new lad running on their own in the wide areas is frustrating and annoying..they get no support and have to do it all themselves, its poor..
switching off once in 93 minutes cost us a well earned but mostly dull, draw. we huff and puff at times but miller just never looks like he is going to score and wells just never gets away from the defenders..
wasnt the worst I have seen us play...

Whitehead was comfortably my man of the match today. Any criticism coming his way is just plain wrong. The manager really needs to sort out the attacking play now though. When we broke forward the midfield just sat deep and offered no support and for that reason we never looked like scoring. We tested Green twice all game. With the amount of possession we had that isn't good enougg I've not been today but I thought he played well in the previous two home games. I can't understand the criticism of him (not in the home performances anyway).

Exactly, so your sole contribution to the match thread was to slag off a poster. You have no opinion what so ever about the game. Thanks for your contribution. This thread would never have been complete without your white noise. Did you go today? How is that relevant to someone who didn't go or listen, who just popped in to slag off another poster for having an opinion, which wasn't positive after a defeat? It may have escaped you, but this forum is made up of quite a few fans who live away from Huddersfield and post on here to discuss matches they only listen to rather than attend. It's fairly common you know.

Am i only one who thought that was the best performance we put in this season? And we was just unlucky/lacking a skill forward, but defensively we getting stronger (apart from 20 seconds of the game)?

Not a bad effort and deserved a point. But we were poor up front. If Vaughan is off the scene we need to bring in a quality forward. In fact I'm pretty certain we will. Miller is NOT a first choice striker at this level. He's an impact player from the bench. And wells looked very poor today Must get wins very quickly now if we are to achieve our expected upper mid table finish. The table is starting to look worrying. I know,and only eight months left to dig ourselves out of this hole

Played well, just no cutting edge. Got done by sucker punch as they looked to be happy with draw. Forget JV waste of space We need a striker in by Tuesday IMO or it's a long relegation fight. No cutting edge at all. 3 wins in 23 I think.

No cutting edge at all. 3 wins in 23 I think. It's going to be a long relegation fight regardless of who else we bring in. 12 points dropped out of 15 - relegation form. 3 wins in 23 and you think what Clark got sacked for.

Don't flatter yourself Marcus. I didn't just 'pop in here' to slag you off...
I'm just waiting for the 10 game mark before suggesting where we're likely to end up. It might be illogical for more negative folk to think we might actually win, let's say 3 of the next 5 games and then we'd be on at least 12 points and probably somewhere near mid table.
From what others on here have said it sounds like we didn't play too much bad football but the fact we didn't have any teeth in the final third is the main reason we didn't get a point???

Sounded to me (another radio commenter, sorry) like the main reason we didn't get a point was a mix up in defence, second time in a couple of matches where we've had two defenders going for the same ball and a man coming in at the far stick. You'd think an ex-England full back as manager would be organising his defence better than that.

The question for me is do we need both him and Hogg in the team at the same time?

All this negative bull of having whitehead n hogg in the same team if it wasn't for hogg we would of got ripped apart tday my Mom. Covers so much. Our problem is no movement from the strikers always on their heels. Wells shit outside the six yard box Miller trys but not a first 11 player. Unlucky tday just toothless up top.

Say what you like about Town whether you think they are poor or unlucky but the cold hard facts are:
3 wins in 18 league games. 9 league games without a win. 3 goals for in 5 games this season 6 goals against this season and no clean sheets. 3 points from 15 so far this season.
This is relegation form in any book. Some bookies have shortened the relegation odds to 5/4.
Powell does not seem to have much idea of what to do next.

I agree with most of that. We definitely didn't deserve to lose today, but we probably didn't do quite enough to win either. I thought the first half was poor and Town were far too one-dimensional in their attacking play: far too many high balls to isolated strikers. In the second half we played far better, got the ball down and were the team in ascendancy for the most part. That said, for all our pressure we only had a ball off the line and a few blocked shots to show for our efforts. Some of our build up was nice and tidy but, as you say Galpharm, we don't support the man in possession in enough, particularly in the wide areas. We give the ball and watch. We also don't commit enough men forward meaning we often only have one to aim for in the box. As a result, for all the attacking play we didn't create many clear-cut chances. In fact the only meaningful save came from Murphy not Green. The goal against might have been unlucky, but I said to my dad at the time - Town wouldn't have scored that because we wouldn't have had the second man running in to finish the chance. We'd have just had one man in the box. Shows the importance of support play. On the positive side I thought we played much better in the second half and the three subs all did well, especially Cranie who I thought was generally composed on the ball and read the game well. Hope to see much more of him. The lad from Boro also did okay, but considering how poor Wells was today its a shame he didn't come on earlier. The negatives are that although we are competetive in games, we are not creating enough and we don't look like scoring enough. Perhaps our play deserved a goal today, but can anyone see us scoring more than a single goal a game? We might not be conceding many, but we aren't scoring any either. We need to turn hard luck stories into results. Not all gloom and doom by any means, but we need to become more effective in the attacking third of the pitch. We need to stop the long balls up to Miller because he's not great in the air. He is much more effective on the ground, as the second half showed. We also need to support the wide lads better and get more men in the box. By doing this we may just give ourselves more of an attacking edge.

You'd think an ex-England full back as manager would be organising his defence better than that. Sorry pipes, but calling him an ex-England full back, this gets called too often, Not that he was a bad player, but he only got in there for what was it? 2 or 3 games? because he was probably the only english full back available at that time. Not trying to put down Powell's ability as a player, but just because someone plays in a certain position doesn't necessarily mean it will be their managerial strength.

Powell does not seem to have much idea of what to do next.That's the really worrying factor. Such talent and potential on the bench, Lolley and Carayol sounded very good when they came on. Dempsey always impresses when given a rare chance. Seems like Powell is genuinely afraid of what to do with his options.
