I hope Hoyle was sat there today watching that, embarrassed.

Let’s not get excited, they drew with Millwall 4 days ago! Were not Fulham runaway leaders last season? went there and won?, lack of funding and shit boardroom decisions?. If Fotheringham had played this game down like Warnock did today and picked that squad, he would have got slated on here. + WHO? |

Maybe a discreet suggestion to the fans, that if you have anything better to do with your time and money on Saturday I would chose do it. As those fans who turn up at Turf Moor will only see a white flag flying. Maybe it was too discreet for you?! |

I cannot wait for Hoyle to go away, i want a owner who sets his stall out that Huddersfield town is a proud club with great history and the fans deserve to see that every week. Not just bike rides and money spent badly and luck to save the day .

Are you saying they are the best this season? If so, agreed. But it actually reads like you are saying they are the best team ever in the Championship… Warnock said in his post match presser that Burnley were the best team he's seen in the last 25 years of management (assuming he meant at this level). Cheers for that. It’s an interesting question though. I think that Leeds side that went up with Hernandez pulling the strings were very decent. And that Norwich side with Pukki were good. The Newcastle side that got promoted the same season as us were also good. Probably the best I’ve seen was the Leicester side about 10 years ago; seemed on a different level to every other side. |

If someone had offered me the option of getting Burnley away out of the way without losing ANY ground to relegation rivals, I'd have snapped their hand off. Forget about today and move on to next week. I'm sure that is what Warnock is doing. Not sure how we didn't lose ANY ground to relegation rivals. We have one less game to play and our goal difference is four goals worse. How? The difference between their points and ours is still exactly the same. That's how! Hardest game out of the way! |

He was playing out of position against the best team to have played in the championship. He wasn't great at RB but equally Burnley were class and didn't get a great deal of help from hungbo or Diarra. Are you saying they are the best this season? If so, agreed. But it actually reads like you are saying they are the best team ever in the Championship… Best team since Reading... but probably play better football than they ever did. |

It's a subjective view, but I always thought Jean Tigana's Fulham team from about 20 years ago were very good. Got over 100 points as Champions and we hardly touched the ball when we played them at home. |

The difference between their points and ours is still exactly the same. That's how! Hardest game out of the way! None of them got beaten 4-0, so we've lost ground in terms of goal difference. You used the word 'any' and you put it in capitals. In terms of points we didn't lose ground, but we lost ground in terms of goal difference. We're in a marginally worse position than we were before kick-off. |

We stayed up on last day with norwood and clayton in our side yrs ago. Sorry - but kasumu and rudoni imho are nowhere near. |

Good day for us if you ask me.
All the teams we are competing against had easier games than us and we all got the same points.
Despite what DATM tells you Chicho was never up to been head coach and Bilo was never capable of been goalkeeper in a relegation battle. Both have been proved now, let’s get on with winning some games.

So Bilo is not up for a relegation fight, I guess neither is Warnock as he has presided over a team that has conceded 5goals in 2 games which by my reckoning is over 100 a season. FFS the players gave their best they simply were not good/experienced enough. Warnock knew that. Let’s see what happens in these 2 home games and then have a discussion altho playing a goalkeeper that is not good enough and employing a manager that potentially concedesover 100 goals a season does not make it easy. As Warnock said today was a free hit. Let’s hope his attitude changes before these 2 important home games!

I forgot about that Fulham side that Andy mentioned so they are contenders. I hate to say it though but that Bielsa Leeds team played a brand of football that very few could live with. |

I think you're both being very harsh. Ask any Rotherham fan about him. They went up automatic from League One last season, conceding 10 less goals than any other team. And he was their best defender. Not worked out for him this season but don't be ridiculous. I assume you watched him today? taking you at face value: yep, he looked like a league one standard centre back being shoved in at right back. worst player on the pitch but had about as tough an assignment as he was going to get. So continues a season where it's not working out for him. He's not suddenly conference standard because he couldn't deal with Burnley |

Despite what DATM tells you Chicho was never up to been head coach and Bilo was never capable of been goalkeeper in a relegation battle. Both have been proved now, let’s get on with winning some games. To be fair Bilo wasn’t supposed to be the keeper. We desperately need the Czech to be able to extend his leg. A defence of a fit Vaclik, Pearson, Helik and Lees should be good enough to give us a chance. |

Had a look on wikipedia and it turns out a lot of the core of that Leicester team were still there in 2016- Drinkwater, Morgan, Vardy, Schmeichel, and Mahrez (!) were all involved that season. Which means Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Riyad Mahrez were teammates! |

There is one positive. We would have been absolutely walloped today had Fotheringham still been in charge which wouldn’t have made our goal difference look very pretty.

Biko made some excellent saves against QPR to keep us in the game and again against Birmingham to win the game but I fully understand why we need to slag off young players at every opportunity. It destroys their confidence which is what we seem to be doing right now.

They're a good side but we're treating it like a trip to the Etihad. All mind games from the old stager Warnock, he'll have them pumped up for this one, mark my words. I took your word for it and you let me down |

Week after week this site gets more and more negative towards town. FFS either get down to the Coventry and Bristol games (if you can) or just keep quiet. I appreciate things are not good under Warnock but you would think we were 10 points from safety we 4 games left.

I cannot wait for Hoyle to go away, i want a owner who sets his stall out that Huddersfield town is a proud club with great history and the fans deserve to see that every week. Not just bike rides and money spent badly and luck to save the day . I’m no Hoyle apologist, but I’d be keen to see what you were posting on here in the early years of his tenure. Easy target, hardly surprising the bloke wants to sell up. Thing is, if the next owners are a bunch of cocks and do nothing for the club, will you blame Hoyle for that? My point is that football supporters are fickle as fuck… |
