before the game CP said in an interview that our change in fortunes was due to us playing for 90 minutes,instead of just 60. Well today we played for about 30 minutes...it's like we keep falling backinto the same old routine, time and time again. is it the players who are like a lazy racehorse and need a good whipping, or the manager/coaching ? We've had several managers and maybe 100 players over thepast 4 years,but they all end up the same..I just don't get it tbh...it's blooming frustrating for everyone.

What an awful performance for a tv opportunity to show that we are a decent side. Miller and Davidson were appalling. There was one occasion when the camera caught a Wolves player pissing himself at Miller's whingeing. For a big guy he does come across as a wuss.

Only caught the first half on a stream (perhaps fortunately fell asleep at half time, it was 1.20 am here!) however I thought Town, apart from the goal, were just the better team...maybe they stream a different version of the game to the colonies?

Ill let you into a secret Oti- you know fuck all about football mate if you think the current team wouldn't piss all over our promotion side. That is so far wrong i should not even comment.

Really? Steer's ok for me, 'maybe' slightly at fault for their first? But agree we need a striker, I'm 'kinda' ok with Miller but he's so god damn one dimensional if it's not working for him - which let's be honest - it mostly isn't - we're fhooked. Is Vaughan fit? Available? Does he want to play for us? We're crying out for him up front. Steer's been fine, but we can only have five loan signings and with Murphy coming back to fitness, I think the priority lies elsewhere. This keeps getting banded about - you can have as many loans as you want but can only name five in the team sheet. Max of four from one club. So we can bring a loan striker in whenever we want. .2.1 A maximum of 5 loan Players (Standard, International, Emergency or Youth) can be named in the Players listed on a team sheet for any individual match played under the auspices of The League. This figure shall include any additional loan of a goalkeeper approved by the Executive under the provisions of Regulation 54.

What are you on about? Have a coca cola next time. Pretty straightforward. You're the most cocksure person I have ever come across (or at least your persona on here) and will always think you know better than our manager, no matter who it is. Also, any time someone poses a question to you, you conveniently avoid answering the question. Even when I agree with you, I still find you annoying, purely because of your tone. And what question have I avoided? Powell is shite limited manager and won't be getting a reprieve off me just because he managed to win 2 games. Enough said.

If we send Steer back, bring a striker in, then Murphy gets injured again, we could always go and get Steer (or another keeper) back on loan. Seems a no brainer to me to not extend it and strengthen elsewhere. I also doubt clubs will be too keen on loaning us a player that we might not play because we've already got the maximum amount of loan signings for the match day squad.

No, Ive re-read it, and it all seems sound enough to me, so comment away. I can imagine you were a fan of the football we played to get promoted. Lots of aimless hoofing and scrapping. No creativity whatsoever in midfield. Very dull football to watch. Good enough to get us up in L1 ( thanks to having an outstanding striker mainly) but would see you relegated with weeks and weeks to spare in the championship. Stick to Off Topic mate.

Cap, you should be worried that you agree with Oti so much on off topic issues, when he proves himself capable of such nonsense as this!

we lost because the team didnt work hard enough, we ball watched for at least two of the goals and we failed to go and play where the ball was enough..
we didnt lose because wolves were in a different league to us..
the team and the tactics employed after a bright start let us down, again..
we cant play for 15 minutes and hope to get the result..
we cant shove on towards the end whilst being two down and just hope we dont get dicked for a third.. try and win the game from the start, keep the positive approach whatever the score is, winning or losing.. stop trying to just do enough in fits and starts, it does not work for us because we will concede..

Cheapest place to drink I found, although fairly tacky. Amazing country is Iceland. You've changed your tune slightly there, your original comment was the promotion team would beat the current side 5-0 every week. I think you're forgetting some of the bang average players who were regulars in that team (Miller, Kay, McCombe, Naysmith, Ward etc). I'd argue without Rhodes we'd have been mid table. He was so much better than any other player in the league, it was almost cheating having him in our side. You're also got selective memory to say there have been no top performances since we've been up. Beating teams that went on to get promoted in every season we've been in the Championship is a far better result than sticking 4 past the likes of Walsall and Port Vale who would have had budget a third of ours.

Had a great view from where I was sat and said (quietly given my position) straight away it was a dive - never thought ref would see it like that. Made me think - should a dive like that be a red card because if the ref calls that the other way Steer is off. Thought that at the time. It sounds harsh but it might make the forwards think a bit more before trying it on so much. In real time on TV I thought the worst but on replay great decision by ref. ALF had lost control of the ball, pushed it too far to be sure of going round keeper and slotting it in. Decided to launch himself over keeper, then he sticks a leg out low behind him to make sure there is a slight contact, no way keeper can get out of the way. Blatant cheating and something that's narked me for some time. In the end it had no real influence, we didn't deserve anything despite looking quite decent for first 15-20 mins. Knew Afobe would score.

Selective memory is the issue Oti has. Hes either missed every good performance over the past 3 years of which theres been many ( or choses to ignore them or underplay them for his own agenda) or he only ever saw the very best of the promotion team and even then fails to recognise they were playing against vastly inferior opposition.
Same 'fans' have their own agenda to knock the club in any way they can. No idea why they do that when they call themselves 'supporters', but it seems to make them happy. As in this case, it just often comes over as cluelessness. The irritating bit is anyone who doesn't fall in behind their negative drivel is a 'happy clapper'. Like actually supporting Huddersfield Town and being proud of it is now a negative thing to do.

Thought Benik took his goals well, our problem is we don't have a striker that will score us 20 goals a season, Big Ish and Wells arent good enough i'm afraid.

I think its a case of desperately needing to be 'proved right'. So for example a poster doesn't like a managerial appointment, he then goes on a campaign to be proved right- ignoring anything positive, exaggerating anything negative. Could be about a particular player, or DHs running of the club, or the academy or anything else or a combination of them all.
Everything said has to fit into that agenda of 'told you so- i was right all along' , even if it means posting endless Huddersfield Town-hating drivel about a club they probably love deep down.

Have we beaten a single one in that time? Right - thanks for being specific Jesper Mattsson, the Swedish international who made 1 single appearance for Sweden in 1995. I am confused about your timeline... Mattsson was born in April 1968 - you said you recommended them to Town in the mid 90's, in 1995 Mattsson was 27 and made his single appearance for Sweden against Iceland on June 1st that year. So did he become an international or was he already an international? Now you flew with Jackson and Yorath who took over in Oct 1997, in Rubery's plane who took over at Town in Jan 1999 to view the player (who WAS an international at this stage). He joined his final club Nottingham Forest (after a trial) a month earlier on Dec 10th 1998 at 31 for £300k. He made 5 starts and 1 sub appearance for Forest before retiring - I think we got off lucky there Who were the other 4? - I love a bit of detective work
