Our attendances are utterly ludicrous. Fewer in ground than v WBA and that was a massive fabrication. Probably about 14k there today I must have been at a different match. I was amazed how many were there given the circumstances. |

Did the refs watch buzz for the first goal in that goal
1. If it did is he’s saying it just happened to stop working within the next 45 minutes
2. If not then did he do anything about it

Crowd 18,195 according to BBC but I’m sure I heard (and laughed at) Rambo announcing it as 19,800 or thereabouts as I left at final whistle.
Genuine question since yesterday was my first Town game this season - was yesterday poorer than the other games this season or not? As I’ve said before, I only saw Town play 11 times last season and I don’t watch games on TV. My only win was that God-awful 1-0 game v PNE. Only five goals in those 11 games too! The last time I personally saw Town score more than once in a game was the last game before lockdown v Charlton on 29 Feb 2020, 4-1 to Town.

If not then did he do anything about it I think it takes a very unique set of circumstances for it to fail. If he had tested it after our goal it would probably have worked fine. It was just like the Sheff Utd one squashed closely against the post. Something about it causes issues for the cameras |

We’ve been laughing at them for grossly overly exaggerating theirs for years. I don't know, but if we have sold 16k season tickets there's about 6k on holiday or not bothering. |

aint it based on tickets sold? so 16k season card holders, the away support and walk up fans, that will come to aound the figure announced I’m not bothered about how many tickets we’ve sold, I’m only interested in how many folk are actually in the ground. Sadford shitty have been peddling this big crowd bollox for years. It was more that many more performances like today and supporters will start dropping off in numbers. At less than £300 for a season card, you can pick and choose which games you go to. Cheaper the ticket the less value it has. If you've paid 500 quid you're going to make the effort.. That's why Bradford can sell 15000 at 10pence and only get 6000 in the ground last season I do think they're getting fairly decent numbers this season with the expectation. |

EFL have released a statement that basically apologises to Town but without those words being used. System issues with hawk eye. Goal should have been given and a draw would have been a fair result. However, that's the third game I've been to this season and I think it was the worst I've seen us play.
We don't look to be getting any better, can't see where a clean sheet is coming from and don't look capable of scoring many goals from open play this season.
Really missed the boat not signing a midfielder last week, still think that we miss O'Brien more than Corberan. Reckon that's why he hop footed it and left, cos he could see the writing on the wall and wanted to leave with his reputation in tact. I'd give Schofield another two games but if it's two more defeats then I'm afraid to say he should be releaved of his duties.

He knew losing LOB, Toff, Pipa, Sinani, Colwill, Sarr and probably knowing/seeing the club's targets to replace them meant we were in serious trouble. Really don't blame him, if you can't get backed as a head coach after finishing 3rd with a team who were backed as a relegation favourite then there's no point is there. |

We have now received an initial assessment from Hawk-Eye, the providers of the Goal Line Technology service in the Championship, that during a second-half incident with Huddersfield attacking, the match officials did not receive a signal to their watch or earpiece as, due to multiple factors, the ball was no longer being tracked following it entering the Blackpool goal area. Separately, PGMOL have confirmed officials were unsighted due to obstruction by players and therefore unable to award a goal. While the system was tested and functional prior to the start of the game, further information is expected from both Hawk-Eye and PGMOL following a full review of the incident. Technology is there to support the decision-making processes of match officials in the Championship and it failing in such a manner on Sunday is a matter of great concern. For clarity, the referee’s decision is final and the match result stands.” Unluckiest club in the country these last few months |

As I’ve said before, I only saw Town play 11 times last season and I don’t watch games on TV. My only win was that God-awful 1-0 game v PNE. Only five goals in those 11 games too! The last time I personally saw Town score more than once in a game was the last game before lockdown v Charlton on 29 Feb 2020, 4-1 to Town. My view, Walton, for what it's worth. Yesterday was very typical of Town's games this season - at no time were we looking as though we were desperate to score, we played one man up front - Ward, who I don't think won more than one header - and even if he had there was nobody within 15 yards to get his knock-down. . We set up defensively but where it is slightly untypical was that the players - Hogg, Nicholls,Lees etc - now seem to have a mistake in them. Kaine started his first match well - he's getting worse by the match. Our midfield was non-existent - Russell has been commented on enough. Tino had an off day again, or has been found out/marked out. As "usual" he does not play 90 minutes. We replace Ward with Rhodes - too late, as usual, but rarely play them together.We, as usual, have no-one to break this cartel. We play people out of position - I could go on and on but, yes, yesterday was typical. Again, typically, you can argue glass half-filled etc - some will say the disallowed goal shows we're unlucky but, for me, we aren't unlucky we're just poor. Even our solitary victory and one draw this season were lucky. We all knew what we've needed transfer wise for a long long time. Since then our midfield/attacking threat has gone and not been replaced adequately. We do ,however, have a relatively untried and inexperienced striker coming in in December - he talks the talk but his profile shows he's absolutely miles away from having even started to walk the walk. In terms of money spent then Mr Hoyle is obviously in profit, but I feel it's counter-productive. Where he DID need to spend - and still does - was in getting in a manager who knows what he's doing and not one who has no experience whatsoever, and I feel sorry for Danny S in some ways. A Sean Dyche might not have come, and would certainly have upset the Hoyle/Bromby arrangement but appointing Danny Schofield within what seems minutes of Carlos leaving shows that at no time were Hoyle/Bromby even considering any "proper" outlay on a more proven manager - the absolutely vital position in the club. Goodness me Phil H took some stick but he was miles ahead in being able to sort out this club. Just one quote - " all the new players we bring in will have a history of playing every game - we'd previously brought in players who couldn't do that". Seems we're back to the running of the club like it was pre-Hodgkinson. I'll be fascinated if Dean Hoyle sticks to his promise of arranging frequent get-togethers with supporters.He's a brave man if he does. |

Why are we not scoring set pieces? I don’t know the answer, are we missing Matty Pearson? Will Helik have the same effect? And where feck is Mahoney our new set piece taker? That's how football goes. You have seasons where it feels like you're going to score from every set piece and your keeper will make worldy saves and not make a single mistake. Then you have seasons which are the complete opposite Is that really how it goes.. all by chance ? Pure luck ? |

Blackpool's fans view of the game is fair: avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/huddersfield-were-awful.35463/My personal favourite: Huddersfield's defence was awful. Gave the ball away at least three times in front of goal. Their attack was impotent and they had no idea where the goal was. Their midfield was just poor. Apart from that they were pretty good. |

Probably going to get a bit over analytical now, but if goal line tech is from cameras fitted in the stands, I presume it must be perfectly aligned to the posts and crossbar? So that if hawkeye sees the ball disappear from view as it goes past the woodwork & then reappear beyond the woodwork, that's what alerts the ref?
Appreciate it means nowt given the statement about it not working, but just imagine if you're a coach, go back to old school, stick a defender on the post at corners and hope that in these events it can't make the call because it can't work out if the ball has actually gone past the post.
This will be old news by tomorrow, there'll be a dozen other stories about how a shoelace caused a dodgy VAR decision to be reviewed in the only league that matters to the football media...

Read Dannys take on it and Russells.
I dont think we deserved to lose but we were at home and didnt deserve to win over the 90.
Some of what we did was perplexing in its dullness and negativity. Some of the giveaways were going back a couple of seasons.
The lack of urgency for long periods was hard to watch.
Winning being pretty dull is often a very fine line, as we saw last season and as its proving, its too close when you end up losing in nothing much going on games like Sunday.
Pat coming on at least brightened it up a bit.
The main worry I have is that it did look at times the there were more orange shirts all over the pitch for long periods, thats hard work and tactical positioning. If we are getting both those things wrong then we are in trouble?

I don't know, but if we have sold 16k season tickets there's about 6k on holiday or not bothering. I was one of the not bothering, glad I did. If the match had been played Saturday, we’d have been there. What we did instead could have been postponed but I saw no reason in the games I’ve watched so far this season to do this and it seems to have been a good decision as I had a great afternoon. There are many who weren’t there still on holiday or involved in local cricket, the ground should be more full come the end of September but things also need to improve massively on the pitch and I would expect the appointment of a new head coach (assuming it’s a decent appointment) if it happens to also improve the mood. Just cannot see Danny turning this around and I’m expecting a very convincing QPR win on Saturday. Whether this forces DH to make a decision or continue to stick his fingers in his ears and sing la la we will see. |

They also had a few people out injured as well, but that's not suggesting those injured were any better than the team they did put out. Another bad day at the office yesterday, we're probably approaching the point where that has to stop. I'm still a wait and see where we are at the 10 game mark sort of person, but it's going to be a long season and at best we're going to be somewhere around mid table mediocrity unless we do a Forest. |

Well Hello once again folks from Westie - just back from spreading the Huddersfield Town word in The Emerald Isle of Ireland !
Well yesterday was probably a must win and while ahead on statistics like shots etc - and had a perfect legitimate goal disgracefully disallowed - we still lost and it goes without saying we are creeping into a bothersome situation now - yep when your lucks down it’s bloody well down as Sunday showed and I feel for Danny Scholfield, but ultimately it’s a results driven business, and while I still desperately want him and of course ultimately Town to succeed - we do need to start to pick up wins soon - and sooner rather than later...
QPR on Saturday ain’t gonna be easy - but without a doubt we need a win of any sorts before the international break !

Regarding the EFL statement. Surely the whole point of goal line technology is to track the ball when it enters the goal area? What an appalling conclusion from the governing body of an increasingly corrupt game of chance

Is Macari back in charge for us? Macari was a good manager for us, took over when we certs to go down and almost pulled off the impossible, season after we reached the palyoffs, on the whole his tenure wasn't a bad one. |
