What about you all taking some responsibility for the present situation ? What do you think about those unnecessarily offending and insulting remarks about all the players on social media ? Do you really think it is supportive and encouraging for players who are already having a tough time ? Strikers need confidence and service. Without service, no goal and without goal, no confidence ! You think that last year he suddenly became the mere shadow of his former self - just like Steve, by the way ? No, Tom Ince and VLP left and they were not replaced. Who could play as a lonely targetman amid a PL defence without any service ? And FYI, Laurent has not lost a pound whatever you think but he has already scored 6 goals (+ 2 assists) in 5 games. Oh yes, in a shit league ? Gent is the very same team that eliminated Tottenham of the Europa League, or Valence and Lyon of the Champions League and won against the F.C. Zenit. You're wasting your time trying to educate this bunch mate. Lo lo is decent enough, certainly decent enough for us. Mismanagement was the issue. The issue was him turning up fat and disinterested at the start of last season but you crack on with your weird, anti-Wagner stance. |

Nothing to do with him having to go out time and time again, knowing he was getting fuck all to work with then? |

Bonjour Madame Depoitre, I liked Lolo, But have noticed he is a much leaner Lolo compared to last year, If he aint lost a pound he must have worked very hard in the gymnasium to convert his fat to muscle, I therefore conclude his second season at Huddersfield shares striking similarities to his season in Portugal, Another season in his career where he didn't really give a shit and was happy to collect his vast wagepacket and have his barnet reseeded with his pubes.

Its easier with a bit of effort, Trap the ball, Shield the ball from the defender, Lay the ball off, Get in the box.
Not hard when you are a big unit and if you are fit, mobile and can be arsed.

Had plenty to work with at Leicester when he fluffed a one on one and then planted a header straight at the keeper from 3 yards out. Looked like a League 1 striker that day. Maybe he should have stayed, he'd have got his chance next season. |

I'd have thought professional pride might have kicked in at some point. |

You are right, the best proof is that things are so much better for Huddersfield now that he's gone ! He was clearly THE problem ! :-D

Would you even dare to tell him the same if he was in front of you ? It is so easy to be outrageous and offensive while hiding behind social media. Hang on a minute, Depoitre was the one who mouthed off to the press most folk had forgotten who he was by about last xmas. dont come on here giving it big because he's getting stick after moaning about toilets and car parking spaces while he picked up about 20k a week for doing fuck all, not even the bare minimum of keeping fit and you have the audacity to come on here saying the fans should take some of the blame for it all going wrong?? feck me fans who the majority probably dont have spare income yet spend thousands following and supporting the club no matter whats happening on the pitch/in the boardroom... the only people to have zero blame for the fuck ups of last season out of touch, spoilt, classless idiot |

Lolo spoke some home truths, and it's similar to what Webber said that we're set up like a League One club. Given events this year, and where we are right now, and with even L1 managers turning us down, who can honestly say that Lolo and Webber were wrong?
League One, here we come!

Webber said that before we went to the Premier League and before £20 million was pledged to Canalside. As regards League one manages turning us down, Bowyers was bullshit as we never offered him the job and the Cowleys is coming from the Daily Mail. |

It's one thing to try and be positive, it's another to live in denial.
We're in dire straits, but I think we can still finish mid table with the right appointment.

What are you on about? Let's get one thing straight. We ARE in dire straits, I am not denying that. What I am saying is, I don't believe half the crap being spouted about managers turning us down we haven't even approached, Bowyer being one. If you don't believe that I suggest you're the one in denial and deluded. EDIT. I apologise if that's too positive for you. |

You're wasting your time trying to educate this bunch mate. Lo lo is decent enough, certainly decent enough for us. Mismanagement was the issue. He was in his first season, not in his second. The difference on his level of performance between the two was alarming. Perhaps mismanagement was partly to blame, but the player himself has to take some responsibility for his poor performances as well. He hasn't done that, but you seem perfectly happy to accept it. We didn't create much for LDP in his first season, but he still worked hard, held the ball up and scored half a dozen goals. He fed off scraps, but still put in some very good performances. He didn't do that at all in his second season. Is that all down to mismanagement? The style of play didn't change over much, so what did? LDP's fitness and attitude - that's what. The change was incredible, and if you can't see that then there's little point trying to convince you. |

It is difficult to understand the mentality of players. If we were all good at it we'd be called Pep. The brighter players will have recognised when things were going wrong. Some will continue to fight some will give up. At that point it's down to the management to motivate. With what happened with Wagner who became disillusioned it is not hard to see that some players may have downed tools as well.
I suspect the key to this is what happebned with Wagner. His leaving so suddenly allied to Deans illness basically pulled the rug.
At that point the sharper players knew the writing was on the wall.
This has continued with others including Smith wanting to leave. We could understand those with a big ego or a perceived value leaving but Smith wanting to leave was inicative of discontent within the playing staff.
Depoitre has come across as an astute individual. His comments are politically cautious I suspect there is a bigger story to be told. For him to switch off in the way that he did was remarkable.
When he was on it in the premier league he caused problems in a way that Mounie never did just by his physical presence.

As vital as it was, 1 goal in 18 months post equalising at Southampton in Dec 17. |
