Well down from Lossiemouth for that one. Thought we were reasonable first half. Less said about the second half the better. My daughters partner came tonight, he normally watches Aberdeen, he pointed out that we can make up to five subs and wanted to know if our coach did! I'll be down again in the New Year so hopefully we have "turned the corner" by then? I feel gutted for yous after travelling that distance and losing Lossie - but, hey ho, I’ve been there maself with Town on quite a few occasions for sure ! Not sure where we go from here but defeat at Middlesbrough seems unthinkable but anyway we’ll see how it pans out (I’ll be on a ferry crossing for the whole match on Saturday) - potential stormy waters for Town... hopefully not for me !!!! Have a safe journey back up North the lot of yous - enjoy the Lossiemouth game on Saturday - they’ll probably get a better result than Town will at Boro’ and good luck to them for the rest of the season ! Cheers Westie, Another thing we noted was why don't we leave someone up at the 1/2 line when the opposition have a corner. By putting Holmes on the 1/2 way line will probably keep at least 2 of their players out of our box, probably a CB & FB. |

Fkn hell. Where to start? Last night was awful. I can't remember a game of football I've enjoyed less. I've got a root canal next Thursday and if you said I could skip it by watching the game again I'd politely decline. So many questions. Why did we persist with 3 centre backs (including our only recognised right back playing at left centre back) when they offered so little up front? What has happened to pressing for the ball? We were actually quite good at that, yet last night we were content to give the worst attack in the league acres of space all over the park What the fuck is this thing at half time? Spending time with the subs? It's not only mental, it's fucking amateurish and disrespectful to pretty much everyone concerned - the players, the coaches, the fans and Dean. Why only one substitution? We were one nil down, at home, while sitting second bottom, and he made one change from a permitted 5. We had attacking options on the bench. I suspect if Kasumu hadn't got a stupid booking, he'd have stayed on for he full 90. What was our tactical plan? It seemed to be to lump it forwards aimlessly when we had the ball in our half, but then play endless backwards and square passes when in theirs. Twice in the second half we had throw ins in the final third and within 2 passes were under pressure on the edge of our own box. One of them, at around 68 minutes (I made a mental note I was so incensed) Duane Holmes won a throw that he was the perfect choice to take - if he'd waited 20 seconds we could have filled the box and he could take one of his regular long throws into the box. Nah, he rushed it, threw it backwards and suddenly PNE had an attack. Why do we persist with Sorba on corners when they aren't working. Our best crosses last night were from Jackson, why not let him take one? I listened to Fotheringham on the drive home. How the fuck did he impress at an interview? Hack football clichés inarticulately conveyed and contradicting himself from one sentence to the next. Even as a Scot I struggled to comprehend what he was gibbering on about. We run the risk of becoming a total laughing stock. We really do. The best game I've seen this season in terms of our performance? The one game Narcis was in charge for. Hard to see anything other than League One unless something changes, and fast. Not sure if you have heard an interview with Bromby but he’s thick as mince too so anything MF said will have impressed him. |

Abysmal, atrocious, embarrassing... Fotheringham should be using all these words to the players this morning before training. I'd also mention that they have let the club, down, the fans down, the town of Huddersfield down and the old favourite, themselves down. You can remind them that most of the team could be playing League 1 next season and not to automatically think that they can jump ship. I wouldn't give any player credit whatsoever (although Thomas probably deserves some for turning his form around). Way over the top perhaps, but now you have them at probably their lowest ebb, you can start to rebuild them.
However, a fair bit of blame has to rest with the head coach and only he can realise that perhaps he needs to change some of his ideas and the way he interacts. Not all is lost and he seems to have some good coaching staff.
The biggest thing is to realise is that we have a massive O'Brien sized hole in our midfield. I's OK when we are losing because the opposition drops off and we pass it around quite nicely, whatever good that does us. To solve this, he needs to bring someone else into midfield and play one up front... sorry Danny. Who that someone else is I've no idea.
The coach needs some time to learn from his errors and make changes to the style of play and he will have a chance to do this during the World Cup break. If results don't improve after that then it may be Pelach until the end of the season.

The only time we have ever scored this season is from a set piece by him, he’s created the most chances in the league. |

years of employing cheap managers instead of proven managers and eventually something had to give.
years of on-the-cheap to sell on for profit.
our midfield is league 2 standard, never mind championship standard. it's just so poor.
our defence is shambolic. our strikers impotent.
only one man responsible for that.

I presume he spends half-time with the subs to save himself the embarrassment of stood with a blank expression in front of the team in the dressing room, who are maybe expecting some tweaks in the formation. When he told the RL interviewer it’s what he’s always done, the interviewer should have asked him what Felix Magath was doing while he was out with the subs. Was he in the dressing room? Daft thing is, it was neither fish nor fowl. The first half was dull, but competent. We weren't playing badly and I thought that with a bit of adventure we could nick something. Second half was just astonishingly bad. The starting XI that he abandoned to go and watch the subs came out half asleep and utterly directionless, and the subs he went out to watch were left on the bench until the 71st minute, when it was clear from the moment PNE scored that we needed to make a change. If he'd spoken to the starting XI in the changing room, perhaps they would have been more on it in the second half, but at least if you're watching the subs you should use them once it becomes so blatantly fucking obvious that you're heading for defeat if you don't. To persist until the 71st minute before making a change was baffling. To only make one change in a game like that when you're allowed 5 is baffling. If we lose the next 3 games then his record is the same as Schofield's. Arguably it's worse because Hull were embarrassingly poor and our draw with Luton came from 2 own goals and a harsh penalty. Schofield's main issue was that he overcomplicated things. I think Fotheringham is under-complicating them. He seems utterly devoid of ideas and sadly, I'm losing faith that he can turn this around. |

I listened to Fotheringham on the drive home
I genuinely thought he was drunk, more shades of Supermac.
Ended up switching off there was no point listening to him, he has nothing to offer.

How long does Hoyle give him..we've got 6 games before the world cup shutdown...we'll likely be bottom by then, and probably 10-12 points adrift...26 games left...What would save Fothers...because looking at those 6 fixtures the 3 away games I can't see anything for us and of the 3 home games Millwall, Sunderland and Swansea we might scrape one win, maybe a draw too..is that enough ..4 points, giving us 15 points after 20 games ?

I have not had the time to read the whole thread but Glennon summed it up nicely on Radio Leeds stating if you're going to sack Schofield after 9 games and half a pre-season don't disrespect him by bringing in someone (on paper) that has even less familiarity and experience at Championship coach/management. Where is the logic that, what on earth were we thinking?
We look arguably worse than under DS and I'm sorry I am sure MF is a top bloke on a personal level but how on earth has this guy convinced LB and DH that he is the man to turn our fortunes around? He doesn't speak well, there is quite clearly no game plan, style of play or strategy from what I've seen after 5 games. David Wagner had Dean Whitehead playing like Xavi within 2 games!! The whole thing just reeks of utter incompetence from the top down.

That was hard watch last night. Can't think of any positives to take away. We're looking very much relegation fodder.
Preston out played us all over the Park and deserved the win.

Its bizarre this half time ritual. Never seen or heard anything like it. He really needs to explain himself. We're in a right state though, Some of the injured/missing need to get back in the starting 11 asap, but also the lads who are starting need to start putting in a shift. I heard Glennon saying Ward was trying, but not very good. I'd suggest he wasnt trying, was hiding and was rubbish. And i shouldnt really be singling out Ward, as he most certainly isnt on his own. We seem to have totally abdandond the press, but still dont have any urgency or power while in possession. Surely if they arent expending their energy in pressing then we should be full of it when in possession?  ? Very worrying performance. And i thought it could only get better after Reading away. |

If Ted Leonis had bought town we wouldnt be in this mess now, and Hoyle would still have his saint hood
The mistake was Hodgkinson

We run the risk of becoming a total laughing stock. We really do. The best game I've seen this season in terms of our performance? The one game Narcis was in charge for. Hard to see anything other than League One unless something changes, and fast. Agree with the majority of this but the Sorba on corners take is madness. The only time we have ever scored this season is from a set piece by him, he’s created the most chances in the league. 5 goals in my memory have come more or less directly from a Thomas corner, plus one penalty. |

Boro up next and despite being in a mess themselves, they’ll beat us no danger. I’ve got absolutely zero faith in MF, none whatsoever. It’s being very quiet on here today from the likes of slapps who can usually find some good despite the total and utter shitshow we find ourselves in right now.

There’s surely no way he actually said that? Yeah it’s only about 4/5 minutes in. It really did take me by surprise too. Whilst I really like what he had to say at the beginning, constantly belittling players like this in public is shocking. It isn’t great leadership at all. FACT : ‘Fotheringham is often called 'The Scottish Manager' largely related to superstition. The setting is in Huddersfield , but superstition holds that uttering the word Fotheringham will cause tragedy to befall the club of the person speaking’ |

Watched the last 30m on the red button (very unusual for me). Speechless. Utter desperation. This club is getting everything it deserves. I feel like I’m almost beyond caring anymore. 18000 there apparently. Nearer 9000 TBF the club very rarely these days claim 18,000 were there. They state the gate was 18,000, which is possibly true as there may have been !8,000 who had paid to be there. I've not heard them refer to the attendance often at all (if at all). Strangely the one place I've seen where they do incorrectly refer to the average "gate" as "attendance" is in the statutory accounts. Possibly the only document the organisation produces where you legally have to tell the truth (or at least a "true and fair" version of the truth). |
