The first half of Tuesday night's encounter at Charlton Athletic was a guaranteed cure for insomnia! It looked, what it was, a cagey match between two sides both shorn of confidence. Things picked up after the break with Town showing more enterprise but the introduction of danger man Lyle Taylor created immediate threats. We were perhaps fortunate when Taylor's header was chalked off for what, at best, looked a marginal offside. This set up the decisive finale where Matty Daly showed, in the 92nd minute, huge composure to fire home the winner. Overall, the Terriers undoubtedly had the better of the match with 59% possession and showing more bite with five shots on target to the Addicks nil.
This coming Saturday we are again on the road this time just across the Pennines to Wigan Athletic who are four places and five points below Huddersfield but with Wednesday's home clash with WBA in hand. The Latics a Championship/League 1 yoyo team are again having a tough time. They have an identical record to that which Charlton had before they faced us, with just two draws to show for their last eight games. Though, to be fair, they do have four home victories which is two more than Town have! Another win would suit us nicely but I think a draw is a more likely result.

With a few players back we can go win this one. However winning at Charlton takes this from a must win to a do not lose. They are much better at home than they are away so I'd be happy with a draw.

Another win would be lovely, but they'll be fighting too.
And we'll be in the awful Fiery Coral kit that has produced very few results of note - is QPR the only point that we have achieved in it?

Personally would just change the word 'happy' to 'okay' with a draw, then would say you are spot on. |

Blackburn ? Correct!  So, that'll be two points then... I know, I know - the kit makes no difference. It's a bit like those moaning about the change of dog which was the sole cause of our relegation.  |

Anything other than a win here is a poor result
These are 23rd in the league and proven again they don't have enough quality for the championship.
If we are to steer away from the bottom 3 wee need to be beating the teams at the bottom and not rolling over like the first 10 games.
Should be a good following from us and hopefully we can see Simpson start with flo in a more forward role.

Be nice to get a little run together in December with a few players coming back.
We'll be a new side come January and then we'll make a late charge to the play-offs. Boom. Easy.

Got to be going here for a win at the very least a draw.
Get pulled clear from this pack by January, couple of solid signings and see where we end up, a push for top half would be a great achievement all considered.

Top half looks a long way off - 9 pts and we’ve played a game more. Guess we’d need around 44 points from 25 games to finish top half. |

If we don't win then the earth will still rotate at 1038 mph, the sun will still rise and set every day, Dogs will still hate cats, My hair will still be thinning, My distain for politicians will still be growing, My wife will still be moaning, Global Warming will continue to be subjective, L..ds fans will still be deluded dickheads, Bradford will still be an almighty shithole, MBenza will continue to be shit.
Having said that I hope we can win.

Hopefully we can pick up at least 4 points from this and the Forest game, that would leave us on 25 points after half a season. Coming away from West Brom in September we looked a million miles from getting that many. The 2nd half of the season we should pick up more points than the first half and leave us safe.

That's not an excuse for fielding an understrength team. I honestly don't know where this attitude has come from, that teams are selective in fielding certain players in certain games. Christ on a bike, call me old fashioned but aren't you supposed to win every game, isn't every game as equally as important? |
