season defining game tonight imo. Lose and I think we're going down. You'll be putting a huge bet on at the bookies then if we do.  Well.......  |

You'll be putting a huge bet on at the bookies then if we do. Well....... We were 11/4 to go down (after been 1/9 a few weeks back) prior to Swansea, still 11/4 following that defeat. |

Obviously, a massive game tonight but I really think our season will go down to the last game.... to be perfectly honest, if someone had offered me that a month ago, I'd have snapped their hand off. Hope the supermarkets of Huddersfield have increased their stockholding of Bog Rolls for the next few weeks. I’ve a very good friend who is Huddersfield Town daft and her name is Sue, but she says she feels ten years older when HTAFC are in epic relegation battles... Come on Town - Get something tonight - so as I don’t need to see Sue Age ! 🚽😉 |

This really is massive after our dismal defeat at Swansea and 12 days off until our next game. Sunderland’s win on sat meaning they are now just 2 points off the play offs makes it a very tough game.
However I think (hope) we’ll be much improved and can shithouse our way to a draw in this one - just need more belief and not treat Sunderland like prime Barcelona as we did Swansea. Get stuck in & have a go at them is all we ask.

I thought Swansea was the best chance to get 3 points out of our remaining games so I am feeling a little nervous again.
Especially as i thought that one more win would see us safe. I still do but struggle to see where it will come from.
However, I didn't expect the others and imagine where we would have been without those.
In Warnock we trust!

Whilst I don’t see it as a must win game tonight I do see us not winning as a massive blow to our chances of staying up. Not the individual game but that fact that the majority of our fellow relegation candidates play tomorrow, they all play on Saturday, Rotherham play Cardiff next week and all apart from Cardiff play again a week on Saturday. That’s all of them playing 3 games before we play again.

Hoping for an epic point.
Keeps us in the thick of it, but there’s no way all the results will go against us before we play Cardiff. If you think that’s the case then go and fleece the bookies, because the odds will be stupid for that set of results.
As long as we go into the Cardiff game within a point of safety, we have 3 bites at the cherry vs one bite for the others. (bar Cardiff of course)

Think we'll lose tonight. Bit worrying the lack of fixtures now, we could be 5 adrift by the time we play Sheffield U

I’m not saying for a minute they all will win (and in Rotherham v Cardiff) they cannot all win, but they all have the chance a steal a march on us. However I accept that before the Cardiff game we will have 3 games left, Cardiff 2 and the rest only 1. Just thinking of the principal ‘points on the board’ or on this occasion ‘chance to get points on the board’

I appreciate what people are saying in regards to the players giving it their all tonight as they have a decent break afterwards. I just worry though, that a few of them seem to be running on empty as it is right now.

I just worry though, that a few of them seem to be running on empty as it is right now.They could well be running on empty after the monumental efforts since the international break and the hard graft to get these amazing results that have dragged us out of the relegation zone... However after tonight there is a TWELVE DAY break before the clash with Cardiff City so any excuse of fatigue will definitely NOT cut it after tonight - However if we should draw or win then momentum being broken will be very very frustrating and a very valid excuse to moan about ! ☹️ |

Wigan won't make 9 points (effectively 10 points with goal difference) up on us.
Blackpool won't make 5 points (effectively 6 points with goal difference) up on us.
QPR are shite.
We still have Cardiff and Reading to play and we could/should not lose to them.
We are probably already safe, but another 2 or 3 points would seal it I reckon. Ideally tonight so we can all relax then and continue laughing at Leeds (and Forest).

If the 3 teams directly below is all got 1 point each we’d be back in the relegation zone. Potentially losing to Cardiff and Reading would then kill us off. It would be nice to get ourselves safe and then enjoy Leeds and Forest struggling though! |

I still do but struggle to see where it will come from. However, I didn't expect the others and imagine where we would have been without those. In Warnock we trust! Yes we have to trust Warnock has a plan to secure the 6 points we still need to stay up but I think he got it wrong at Swansea. Both the team selection and the tactics left us with no chance of winning that game. We were set up for a point, which we didn't get..so now we need a win to catch up. Like many others, the 12 day lay off will see us watching all the other candidates play 2 or 3 games..they're not all going to lose..so inevitably we're going to lose a place or 3 in the table.
Tonight it's vital we don't lose again..we can't afford to just sit back all game like at Swansea, and like that 2nd half v Blackburn. So will Warnock have a plan that sees us more of a threat , create some chances and actually start scoring goals again. Whatever Warnock says about our survival being a miracle, and the fact he'll be off come May, I do think he's feeling the tension a bit now..he does want us to survive, 100%, but now the games are running out he can't just play for 4 draws and hope we can hang on under constant pressure and hope we don't have another unlucky deflection..
Of course it's all about balance, and yes he'll likely start with us being 'tight' until past half time. Unfortunately Swansea scored at just the wrong time , 69 minutes, the point in the game when we'd normally bring on the subs to solidify..but not when it's 0-1 and Swansea were happy to see out the last 15 by bringing on more defenders.
We've done better when conceding earlier, and ironically not so good when scoring first...it's a pattern he has but we've all seen how potent we can be when we counter attack in numbers...we need that plan tonight.
One positive is we know we can beat teams, and we can score goals...but we need to be set up right to do that..

Ideally tonight so we can all relax then and continue laughing at Leeds (and Forest). I admire your optimism but we're nowhere near safe IMO, Reading just managed to draw with Burnley with a new caretaker manager, QPR are still waiting for the new manager bounce, it may come and they have some top quality players, Chair for example. I've seen Cardiff recently and they look a decent side, that game will be far from easy and they are more than capable of picking up plenty of other points. Brilliant what Warnock has achieved so far but its starting to feel a bit like 2001 where we seemed to rally quite well but then got pipped at the post ... and shafted by a ref of course which is always a distinct possibility. Town could feasibly be robbed of a PL promotion by VAR, robbed by Hawkeye of a vital point(s) and robbed again on the final day to send us down. It still wouldn't get anywhere near the coverage of the odd bad VAR decision in the PL though. Staggering the lack of coverage in a £200M game compared to the furore around those recent decisions that went against Brighton in a basic league game with 3 points at stake. |

I get a bad feeling, that Town will do the usual Town thing tonight. The old turn up , do nothing and get beat go home repaeat.
I am dreading thinking, where the next points are coming from, we gave up a half against Blackburn, did very little and hoped to get away with against Swansea.
Where is the bravness? where is the shock factor ? Just sitting off and hoping is not a tactic i like or will ever like, tonight will be another game where its "lets hope Sunderland don't go a lot "
To stay up you have to be brave , i feel we are not been brave enough. Prove me wrong tonight Town i am begging you .

We may stay up but we are not already safe when we are only one point outside the relegation zone with 4 games to play. I dont think 43 points is keeping us up so we do need points from somewhere. |

Well having predicted narrow defeats in the games v Millwall, Middlesbrough, Watford and Blackburn and being delighted to have been proved wrong by Neil and his Terriers then for superstitious reasons if nothing else then I’m gonna do the same again tonight - I never got the chance to post that prediction pre Swansea so I’m getting in early tonight as leaving Connel now to pick up ma niece from her daddy at Ballachulish as he’s on route from Glasgow to his holiday house in Ardnamurichan so I probably won’t have time by the time I inevitably get out of The Ballachulish Hotel !
Anyway it may work or probably won’t but for continuity of the loosest of connections with Town picking up awesome points v The Lions, Boro’ The Hornets and The Dark River Men (Do Blackburn have a nickname) then I’m going for a narrow defeat...
PREDICTION = Sunderland 2 v Huddersfield Town 1

We can't afford to do that again..unless he sets us up properly to counter in numbers.. |

As much as Sunderland have a chance of play offs. They have leaking goals for fun at home lately.
Stoke got 5
Hull got 4
I agree with how NW has been setting us up, but tonight I would take the risk and say attacking will be the best form of defence tonight. If we do, we could easily score a few.

Gone for a draw but can see us losing this one. Very much depends on who Warnock picks to start and how we set up.

Hull got a point there the other week in a 4-4, and they're no World-beaters.
Sunderland 3 - 4 Town
Yes, I have an opened can of beer, what of it?

Could do with getting something from this one as far as im concerned. Dont think we will get owt from Sheff Utd and a point at best at Cardiff. I really dont like the thought of us going into the Reading game needing something.
