Coventry so much better than us and their first thought is to go forward we are woefully short of talent Thomas can not control a ball and giving it to him under pressure is the same as giving it away.We have absolutely no talented ball player in midfield who can pick a pass and our strikers are just Shit. The 3 centre back and the keeper plus Hogg will just about see us safe but we are crying out for investment in the team and a NEW MANAGER

As well as two seats from Leeds Road I have two framed and signed shirts one of which is the Wagner promotion shirt and the other I think is the red and black striped shirt I got them for being a match sponsor ( Tracy in Hospitality can confirm) if someone explains to me in idiots language how to post a picture on here I will put them all on and all the money raised can go to charity a food bank in Huddersfield would be preferable I have just checked it a pair of seats iron frame work looks good seats are fine and in Blue frame black, and I have 4 shirts all bubble wrapped one pure legal two red and black stripes I think one is a players poppy shirt and the other fully signed plus another Blue & White one which I think was when we sponsored David Mirfin Not certain how this will work but I guess they will go to the best bids

I'd still love a couple of seats/benches from the Old Leeds Road stadium. Or anything else from it to be honest, but seating would be my number one choice. I was away in the military when it was all ripped down so missed taking a piece of my childhood with me. As I'm over in New York I would have to arrange shipping, but sure that can be handled. So if you've got one sitting in your garage gathering dust let me know. I have two in my garage I think we have messaged before I am now semi retired so have more time at home.We can sort out the price but you need to send someone to help me get them out and collect them from York

After getting over the shock of Yesterday’s abysmal performance I have come to the conclusion that Carlos needs to go. This is not a knee jerk reaction to yesterday’s game it is a conclusion based on the fact that he has one style of playing and in my opinion does not have the tactical knowledge to adapt the style of play from the one he picked up at Leeds.
Its obvious to everyone that we don’t have the midfield players who can take the ball with their back to play turn and get the forwards moving and Wilder knew this and simply asked his forwards to put our defenders under pressure then played 5 in midfield. Carlos simply jumped up and down waving his arms around and was not smart enough to match Boro up. Given that the Chairman has no money to buy the type of midfield and forwards we need to play out from the back and Carlos has no plan B then I can only see a struggle again this season as every other team copies Wilders tactics and on this basis I think he needs to go now.
Before you all ask I have no Idea who should replace him I am just trying to explain my thinking on why he should be replaced.

To those who want CC out, my question would be: Who do you want to replace him? In four of our last five, we have drawn against Posh, and lost against Cardiff, QPR and Middlesbrough. But, which manager does better with this particular squad? But we could be better if the tactics weren’t so negative all the time, if there was a plan B or if the right formations were picked from the start. Everyone who thinks we need a new striker has to realise that it won’t matter who plays there if we create diddly-squat. The lack of chance creation recently is worrying and reminds me of the issues we had at this time last season. I find it hard to understand a number of the tactics we employ both home and away, Firstly we leave last years top scorer on the bench destroying his confidence, then in today’s game we start with 5 at the back and 3 in midfield who are completely overrun by a 5 man Boro midfield. In my opinion the Manager should have seen the problem in the first 10 mins and changed the tactics to match Boro up. The game was appealing but Carlos said in the second half we were better. I have no idea which game he was watching because we played Shit from Min 1 to 93 Carlos I am still not sure you are the right man as Wilder made a mug of you today

When DH sold the 75% stake to whichever entity currently owns the shares the money would most likely have come from Big Phil’s companies with perhaps a number of them providing capital from their own cash flow If this was the situation then perhaps Big Phil has without thinking been responsible for his own companies demise probably caused by the anticipated turnover dropping dramatically due to the pandemic. It also raises the question of why if DH wanted all his money back did he not sell to the other bidders he said had come forward knowing the structure of Pure was not as Fluid as we were led to believe.
I don’t honestly know if we should feel sorry for Big Phil or not as it appears the purchase of the shares may well have been the reason for his companies demise and if that is the case and DH is now paying the wages and funding the club going forward then it appears DH will possibly get the opportunity to get the shares back and take full control again ( If that is what he wants?)

Was this a night match? If so I’m sure I was there in the open end as an 8 year old. I can remember quite a lot of blokes wearing Red and White scarves around me . Was this the game that Gilly crashed one in off the crossbar and it seemed to be still shuddering 5 minutes later? The game v Middlesbrough when Town win 6-0 was on a Saturday. I remember it very well even though I wasn’t there because I passed outside the ground just as the game finished and the crowd spilled out, as I was going home from a cub camp, and someone told us the score. Ironically, my first ever game was the season before on 30 Mar 1965, also against Middlesbrough, and that WAS a night match, but only ended 1-0 to Town. Les Massie got 3 and Gilliver got 3

Now I am not claiming to be a tactical genius here but if we mixed it up a bit and played a few long balls from the keeper and defenders this would reduce the merits of the opposing team pressing high on every dead ball situation. I know we need a very young fast Andy Booth up front, but to go a full game with no shots on goal must surely make Carlos want to reconsider his tactical approach which in my opinion cannot work with the players we currently have. Does anyone know the plan? So your plan is to boot the ball up top, to a player that doesn’t exist? Top plan. It might help if you read the post IT MIGHT HELP IF WE MIXED IT UP A BIT

It’s funny watching Town at the moment the team are told to play out from the back but we don’t have a ball playing midfielder like AM or SR who can take the ball from the defence, turn and play a forward pass to get the team moving forward. Instead as every team is working out the defenders play the ball to Hogg ( who bless him is no AM) he then plays it back to the defenders allowing the opposing team to press both Hogg and the defender receiving the ball.

I might be wrong on this but by my reckoning we have scored 7 goals from open play in 9 matches. That simply isn’t good enough. We clearly lack a striker but struggle to create chances. At the start of last season we seemed to be able to play out from the back and fairly quickly move forwards and create chances. That has gone and it is hard to see where the goals are coming from sometimes. Big reaction needed on Tuesday. Think about absolutely every other team in the Championship. Every single one of them has a “proper “ striker leading their front line. Someone who has the ability to play with his back to goal and challenge for headers from crosses etc. This is what we miss and why we are so poor going forward. It’s not just a striker we need who has the ability to take the ball with his back to goal We desperately need a midfielder who can take the ball with his back to play, turn and make a forward run and pass. Every team knows we pass back all the time when trying to create space to play out from the back so they close the backwards pass down. We need to go long more often ( and quickly) to keep the other team guessing as we are far to predictable and easy to close down.

Is our club only really worth ÂŁ6.2m ? The debt to Dean is funded from Season Tickets ,Transfer Monies and the clubs remaining income. The normal rule of thumb for a business that is profitable is 5 times EBIT so if Phil can turn the club around into a club that makes even ÂŁ2m per year he could double his money.

Regarding paying Hoyle back, what am I missing? The guy agrees to sell something and then people get the arse when he wants the money for it? Hoyle can take a long walk off of a pier for me if he is getting a cent back of the money we paid for Mbenza. To see him chuck money at such a sack of shit, see the club gain nothing from him and then to take his money back is in my opinion incomprehensible. Did Hoyle go out and scout Mbenza ? Or indeed any of the Flops I would suggest that he did not, most chairmen put the money in with loan notes hoping to get their money back,so if there is anything to complain about it’s that he would have known he would possibly loose all the money he invested and he could have gifted it by writing the loan off but wanted his money back.

Me and the other loons have read your posts ( I think you should check again what you have posted ) but only when the effects of the Wacky Backy have worn off Vallejo and Hogg get the game time that the Manager see fit,and Vallejo spends most of the season on the bench ( which is why his nickname is the judge) Hogg plays every game. AM is 10 times the player Vallejo will ever be so there can be no serious comparison. Finally (I hope) when we are watching Vallejo you see a Bentley I see a Seat at best ( I think they are made in Spain)

I can’t believe you’ve just compared Mooy and Vallejo??? A PL player and a bench player in the Championship 🤔 Like Mooy he’s liable to silly little mess ups? I know Mooy wasn’t perfect but that’ll do me. Please drop in "Pogba" or "Michael Flynn" in place of "Mooy" in my narrative if you like. It still holds true to what I'm putting across and doesn't tarnish the delicate pedestal you have Mooy on which is causing your irrational reaction! You need to get off the wacky Backy sir I have been watching Town since 1962 and Aron Mooy is the Best midfielder we have had since Jimmy Nick (and probably better ) in fact I can only think of Frank Worthington and Trevor Cherry who have been better in my time of watching. Vallejo is a Honda 50 compared to Mooy

Sheffield did not have a shot on goal before scoring Vallejo played no part in the winning goal You didn't watch it then. Vallejo played the ball into the box which Toffolo collected and squared to Colwill. And I suppose then that all 6 Sheffield United shots on target out of the 16 in total came in injury time by your reckoning. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58209743Just watch the footage again it was not a pass it was going straight to a defender before Toffs got in front of them and crossed. Why anyone would call him a Rolls Royce or even dare to compare him with AM is absolutely beyond me.

And you draw this conclusion from 4 games for Hogg and 2 for Vallejo? following our best league performance at the weekend in which Hogg played and Vallejo didn’t Can you rub your crystal ball a bit more and see if we are going to sign a CF and Midfield player before the end of August Did you watch this game? We were piss poor until the last 20 mins and it was only when Coreberan made the subs that we started to attack. Vallejo was involved in the winning goal, whereas Hogg had very little impact on the game. Sheffield did not have a shot on goal before scoring Vallejo played no part in the winning goal

Just got back and what is still Blindingly obvious is that we don’t move the ball forward quickly enough, Holmes and Campbell are just not good enough and ohhhhhhh do we need a big strong and quick CF who can bring players into the game by holding the ball up and can score goals. Also why did we not go for it tonight with a full strength team and build on the win from Saturday winning instills confidence. I'm sorry but I can't accept Holmes taking any stick after the way he played last night. He's had dogs abuse for ages, plenty of it justified, but I thought he was excellent last night. Constantly linking up and finding pockets of space in the final third, and but for an excellent bit of goalkeeping would have scored an absolute worldie of a goal. Nobody knows better than he does that his overall performances haven't been up to scratch but lesser men would be hiding from the action, something he certainly wasn't guilty of yesterday. If that Duane Holmes turns up more frequently I don't think many will have any complaints. Even the one who turned up last night is simply not good enough his first touch on lots of occasions was terrible he gave a goal away against Fulham trying to dribble back and across the field and did it at least half a dozen times last night. Campbell is far to slow never looks like scoring, Ward and Holmes we simply should not have wasted our money on. We need to improve and in my opinion we could do a lot better than these 3

After watching tonight, it struck me how much more effective our midfield looked without Hogg. Vallejo set the tempo really well and ensured that the midfield didn’t sit too deep which allowed us to press further up the pitch without the ridiculous gaps that we’ve seen between the front 3 and the rest of the team. Unfortunately, I don’t think Vallejo and Hogg work well together in the same line up, but if it was a choice between the the two then Vallejo wins it, hands down. What are everyone else’s thoughts? Hogg plays in the Championship and is the mainstay of the team week in week out Vallejo can not adapt to the pace of championship football it’s OK playing against Everton reserves who gave him time on the ball ( even the he took to long to play the obvious pass, took far to many touches, and slowed the game down. its Hogg and the Lad from Norwich for me looks far better than Vallejo in my opinion

I am starting to think Oggy has lost the plot some of his statements are quite ridiculous (I don’t think he has any more information about what is happening behind the scenes than anyone else)he also IMO needs to take off those Blue and White tinted glasses, At least Glennon tells it as it is At least Glennon talks a load of shite you mean. Schofield was his number one this season over Nichols and that was from an ex-goalkeeper. Wow

Praise be to the lord. How confident are you that the deals will be done in time for us to bring in some quality? Honestly, even if they leave 3 seconds before the window closes & we have to wait until January to replace them I don't think that would necessarily be a bad thing. Just getting them out of the club with enough profit to get a replacement mid way through the season will do for me. Perhaps I am a lone voice in the wilderness but like it or not theses two are better than some making the team at the moment, play them put them in the shop window and if it’s the last thing they do for the club let them help us get points on the board. Now please shoot me down if you think applying logic and common sense to the problem is the wrong thing to do, but Mbenza in place of Ward has to be a step forward and if the first 3 games are anything to go by we will need every point we can get.

Rhodes has to start at the weekend. Ward carries zero goal threat and every ball upto him bounces off him. As Frank Worthington used to say ( in the case of Danny Ward) he traps it further than I can kick it

What? We may have watched different games tbh. High and O'Brien were everywhere, tackled and always looked to go forwards. Hogg made some important challenges. Lee's and Turton were solid if unspectacular. Ward was.... Ward. I don't understand why he's allowed near the pitch. Sarr, High, O'Brien and Thomas were brilliant for me today. Nicholls 6 - didn't have too much to do but not having Schofield there clearly adds confidence to the defence. Turton 6 - somewhat ponderous at times, needs to increase his speed but there's definitely a player in there. Lees 6 - didn't put a foot wrong Sarr 8 - beasted it. Won every header and every tackle. One of his best performances for me. Colwill 6 - did his job, nothing more Hogg 6 - made the challenges and tactically aware O'Brien / High 8 - both covered every inch of that pitch and did everything. Impressive Thomas 9 - MOTM. Electric pace, confident direct and positive with high energy. Deserved a goal. Good stuff Ward N/A - I'm unconvinced he touched the ball Koroma 7 - tried hard but didn't quite work out, improving and will find his form again Carlos 4 - playing football and actually looking to score are different things. More urgency and creativity are needed in his tactics. His continued selection of Ward is, frankly, negligent at this point. When Preston went forward they had numbers, when we did it felt like everyone was too scared and we were reliant on a couple of players to do everything. Must do better. How you can award anyone in that malfunctioning midfield higher than a 6 is a mystery to me. A midfield that has absolutely no movement in front of them from absolutely useless Danny Ward, and a defence that never tries the odd long ball over the top for Thomas to use his pace but still farts around at the back going absolutely nowhere, probably because we have no midfield players able to take the ball with their back to the game and turn to start an attack.

Truly abysmal performance Nicholls Sarr and Thomas were decent! What will happen is Preston will sack their manager and start climbing the table. We wilm persist with Carlos and leave it too late to bring anyone else in. He really has to go now! I was not a Carlos out man until tonight the score just papers over the cracks, the game was a dirge no quality players afraid to pass forward and despite trying all night I had absolutely no idea what system we are trying to play. I thought the Chairman wanted entertaining football? well tonight it was in my opinion just as bad as under the Cowley’s. Somewhere in amongst the players on the pitch tonight there is a mid table championship team but unfortunately I don’t believe Carlos can find that team.
