There really should be no further arguments for Fotheringham remaining in charge after that. What the hell is the plan as most of us fans have no idea? Few positives: lad from Watford was decent first half, nice cameo from Knockeart, we looked better when the subs came on (which were made early for once). First half we were horrible. Got a pretty fortunate free kick that was delivered well for which Waghorn was in the right place to score (Maureen Proctor would have scored it though). Other than that did we have an attack? You would have thought we were the away team. Second half more of the same before subs introduced and we looked more threatening, especially so with Knockeart on the field. New keeper looked shaky to start with but I’ll put that down to the fact he’s been out injured for some time. Lowton is not a left back, where is Ben Jackson? Ultimately, two poor teams on show and a draw probably the right result although they could have nicked it towards the end. It really shouldn’t be enough to keep Fotheringham in the role but probably will be although I see no improvement anytime soon on the pitch based on what I witnessed this afternoon. As for the “protest”, what protest?

Why does High get picked? He runs his socks off, but I’m not sure what else there is to his game? Great engine but offers absolutely nothing. Looked lost today. |

I thought Hungbo played well today. In the first half he was literally our only attacking outlet. Ran with the ball well, and some nice first time link up play. He was one of the positives from a quite frankly depressingly awful performance. Thought Kasumu was good as well Agreed. The only one in central midfield who affected the game in a positive way. |

First few minutes then the last 15 minutes or so.
Rest entirely pedantic and forgettable.
Too much running away, too much runming away too deep and staying in deep for too long.
Watching a long bouncing ball being really badly controlled by a forward who inadvertently knocks it 15 yards in fron of him but can still collect it because we have run off, is indicative of our problems.
We must play much more where the fucking ball is, in both halves.
We must stop running away and going narrow.
Oddly enough could have won it, a wee bit more bravery and we may win a game or two.

Hogg was absolutely atrocious. I can't believe he came out for the second half. Polite reminder that Fotheringham isn't playing Camara because Hogg is there. How bad is Camara? High.. I think we're all on the same page with that one. Rudoni should be nowhere this team. Diarra is twice the footballer he is. Rudoni completely ruined our momentum in the last 15 mins Bang on, I said to my daughter he was bound to be subbed at half time by any half intelligent manager, I forgot we don't have a half intelligent........... |

Another poor performance. But the Hoylers will make out a flurry of corners and a Diarra effort are a good performance. We play like that against a half decent team and we pumped today. Diarra and Knocaert looked good. Hungbo, Waghorn and Kasumu played better than the other 8. Waghorn was poor. Goal masked a bad performance I don't see what Waghorn offers. He plays too deep and he's slow. |

Everybody gets a 5 today except:
Hogg: 3
Lowton: 3
Lees: 4
Turton: 6
Knockaert: 7
Diarra: 7
Hugbo: 7.

Hogg and High combination has to go. That's relegation nailed on. We need to have the last 15 mins team on from the start and stop this negative 75 mins of boring sideways passing. We looked a lot more positive with that team on the pitch than that starting team.
It's getting down to the nitty gritty where you play a team to win or bust, I'd much rather bust than go down on a whimper.
When you attack they have to defend, when you put a team out that's defensive you invite your opponents onto you. So Attack MF at all costs, just go for it

Oggy having a go at the banner saying the board is a circus - Oggy looking the clown if he doesn’t know why the fans think this He's utter guff, he comments on utter shite about pointless shit and can't be seen to have an opinion working on the woke Beeb. Not to. Mention he. Talks in. Short sentences. IT'S ANNOYING! At least Glennon shows some sort of bias. When Town are away and we're subjected to other local commentators on iFollow they're usually annoying AF and never have a good word to say about us. Not much to talk about right now I grant you but I'd prefer someone with a bit of passion who can even the score. The way he says 'Huddersfield' grinds my gears too. Rant over. UTT Define woke |

If he plays Lowton at Blackpool then he def needs to go. Loan or otherwise he must be one of the worst players ever to wear a town shirt.

The starting eleven had four goals between them this season, two each for the centre-backs.

Nobody can tell me we are a well-coached side. The players don't look like they have a clue what they are doing. We don't play as a team - the support play and lack of patterns of play is as bad as I've seen in a long time. As a result, we create fuck all. And some of the kick and run tactics are embarrassing. After 20 minutes, I could see that there’s no way that our players are playing for this manager. Watching us was like watching an 11 year old on FIFA. |

Absolutely not. He is a liability. But for a cross that QPR failed to convert in the last 5 mins he would have been responsible for 2 goals today

Has Hogg simply given up on MF? Wasn’t there so shouldn’t comment on his performance, but sounds like he had a real stinker. Think it’s more his legs have given up on him. |

The most frustrating thing about the dire first half was you could see it coming as soon as the team sheet came out.
One look and we all thought that the midfield 3 would be dogsh!t going forwards and whichever of the right backs was hung out to dry at left back would be the weak link in defence.
We are a poor quality squad but a couple of poor quality squads will survive in this division this season. Probably ones who don't shoot themselves in the foot and are reasonably well coached...

I had to laugh when Oggy read the banner and said ‘ that’s not the view of Radio Leeds’, of course it isn’t and it was obvious you were reading a banner!
He just seems like he doesn’t want to run the risk of upsetting anyone and so states the absolute obvious.

He's good is Lowton - that might have been the first time he's ever played left back in his life. Out of position today - like Rudoni, Waghorn, Kasumu and High. That's almost half the team. |

So Attack MF at all costs, just go for it The issue is High doesn't tackle, he never receives the ball, and when he does he sets up the opposition. Hogg, he has been an absolute servant for the club, he still does have great games and we do miss him when he isn't playing. But today, twice he had space in front of him; first one, ball should have been played out to the left, but he dithered and turned back and lost it. Second, again could have dribbled or passed forwards, but turns back and loses the ball and receives a yellow for then tackling like he was in claret and gold! Too many times we go back, sometimes it is the best option, but it happens far too much. We lack that bit of pzazz and umph going forward. Hungbo was a breath of fresh air and Diarra when he came on, every thought was to get forward quick. |
