Probably not the post most would expect but I’m starting to feel for the lad . Stupid tackles and wasteful finishing aside he’s maintained fitness and put a shift in every match this season.
Pretty sure at the start of the season he was told his role and it was nothing like he’s been given . At 33 he’ll have expected to be rotated and used where required , whilst he’s actually been one of the only mainstays.
Not absolving him of any blame for the slump we’re in but I don’t think he deserves some of the criticism he gets .

I have nothing but admiration for his work ethic and enthusiasm. The fact that he has remained fit when having to play so many games is a credit to his professionalism. It’s not his fault that his club have failed so miserably in recruiting some help for him up front. At this stage in his career he should only need to be used as a 2nd half substitute.

If a couple of our 'big' signings had only half his work ethic, we would be a lot better off

Awful player. Very low footballing intelligence and striking instinct. Works hard yet any of us could do the same. Continuous stupid pointless fouls ending many attacks. Philips looks better and should be starting.

Not his fault that the club have been inept in having a proper goal scorer in the team. Campbell should be used as an impact sub at best, not the mainstay of our attack.

He needs to come on for the last 20 minutes to see out games we are winning.....oh, wait.

He can’t strike a ball or manage to stay on his feet, added to that he gives away stupid fouls. Can’t hold the ball up or make a simple pass, look at the ball he played when Phillips hit the post. It was a 5 yarder and behind him, criminal for a professional footballer. He’ll be on a decent wage and I’m sure he’d admit himself he’s been nothing but guff in a Town shirt.

For me - he brings nothing to our game - a season too far at this level I am afraid. Reaction time has gone - pace has gone - and he is the cause of many a foul that breaks up attacking play. Would like to wish hime all the best but its time to move on Frazier old fruity - you are past your best.

Nobody can doubt his commitment. I think he would agree that having him as our main striker at 33 having never really been prolific is a pathetic state of affairs. At least he’s remained fit, Ward has been one of the most pointless signings we’ve ever made.

Philips looks better and should be starting. Would agree re the needless fouls. You know for certain if he is behind someone he will balls it up giving them a free kick, so bloody obvious ,so bloody stupid. Works hard physically pity his brain is on a different level.

he tries hard, of that there is no doubt. He's never been prolific scoring goals so for us to think he'd be the answer to our goalscoring problems was a little naive.
For me he's a bit player if we want to progress. We needed a goalscorer n the transfer window and we didn't get one. Could be a massive mistake. (although Phillips looked very good last night).

Did anyone really believe that Campbell and Ward were the answers?

Good enough to be a useful squad member in this division.
Not good enough to be a shoo-in at CF in this division. Except he is.
He's worked manfully & earned a lot of my respect, but he's been over-used & let down more than most by the recruitment team this season.

Did anyone really believe that Campbell and Ward were the answers? The biggest irony is that the "5 strikers" comment was in response to concerns from supporters that we only had 1. Ward, nice guy but never a striker. For all that we've desperately needed a CF all season, few (if any) of us have ever thought that we missed Ward.

Reckon this joker is being paid between 10 and 15k per week and we are supposed to be grateful he has stayed fit and run around a lot. As a striker he is not fit for purpose. His stats are laughable. 11 shots on target in 29 games. 8 goals in 62 games. As someone on twitter renamed him Failure Campbell - very apt.

I’m at a loss why you and others are saying such things about him. Do you think we aren’t all aware of Campbell’s shortcomings? He’s only playing because of the clubs failure to buy a “proper “ striker. It’s that situation that is laughable, not Frazier Campbell.

Poor man's kachunga.
However he isn't one that should be getting any shit, he puts his best shift in everytime he plays, sadly he's probably not good enough anymore.
It's not like he's come for a final contract, he has actually put a shift in.

Gives 100% every time he puts the shirt on. Any ‘fan’ who thinks he deserves stick wants to give their head a shake.
Things are a bit shit but having a pop at players who are doing their best isn’t the answer. It just makes folk look like utter pricks.

Can’t knock his effort levels. Seems an honest guy just lacking in ability. As others have said, if some of our bigger money signings put his effort levels in we might be much higher up the table.
For me the striker situation is unquestionable proof that Phil has screwed up. There’s no debate that he’s left us woefully short. His 5 striker comment just proved he’s full of sh💩t with zero respect for the fans. Not even the happiest of happy clappers can argue against that.

He's had to play far, far more than expected in a season when games have come round more quickly than ever because of covid. The reason he has had to do so is because of more poor recruitment in the shape of Danny Ward.

His better days were behind him before we signed him, like alot of town signings these days. Might of been decent to bring on from the bench but was never going to be prolific. Same with Ward if he was ever fit. Its the recruitment that needs to be questioned.

He was only here for one last pay off, anyone that believes he gives a shit about Huddersfield Town is quite frankly deluded. A few years ago, he said he'd never play for Huddersfield Town, so what's changed?

Do you think either of those signed for us , under Chris Powell, for anything more than a final payoff ?

A few years ago, he said he'd never play for Huddersfield Town, so what's changed? Thought it was Jerome that said that. Cambells scoring record is not great but he puts it in. not his fault club decided against getting in another striker to rotate him with (not a LW who played a few games up top and has an injury record to rival Darren Anderton )
