Now's not the time to make an official complaint about this (I hope the article is wrong & we haven't), we should have kicked up the fuss when we were robbed at Wembley, however, the amount of business we have conducted with Forest since, the most recent being the weirdest signing of all of their 5th choice GK I can't even remember the name of, makes me feel very uncomfortable. As others have said, all this now just looks like sour grapes & will ensure Sheff Utd will need to play a full strength side against us. I find it so hard to believe that a club can make so many awful decisions in one season, it's almost like deliberate sabotage. Complain massively after Wembley, complain about the goal that was clearly over the line Vs Blackpool from where I sat but to complain about this now is wrong, IMO. I think Burnley have taken the piss since they had their promotion confirmed & yes, they have not shown any integrity to the competition, but we have to look after ourselves. Get safe, then complain about Burnley. This needs cleared one way or the other as the speculation and innuendo is certainly not helping Huddersfield Town or our supporters one little bit... Town as a club have been (disgracefully) asleep at the wheel all season and unless they are poked by a red hot rod, they will undoubtedly be as slow as shit running off a wall at responding to this important issue - Come on ye local media - Do your jobs (even on a Sunday) and get us HTAFC fans the answers and information we deserve to have !

I don't think we have complained to the EFL at all. This is probably the Sun just throwing our name in there due to the last game being against Reading.
OK so we might not be happy but that's probably the sum of it.

The Blades will play a team selected on various factors. If they are already promoted,injuries and the number of games over a short period and a look at players who need or deserve a run out. Our predicament wont enter into it.

It clearly says that HTAFC have contacted the EFL to query the number of changes..

If we go down then the only people to blame is ourselves. We will know what has to be done come the end of the games next Saturday. The rest is up to us!

Pretty sure we’ve used more players (by quite a distance) than any other team in the league this season so how do we have the right to complain about Burnley giving squad players a game when they’ve got nothing to really play for.

Still unsure how Burnley were not out of sight by half time.

Don’t see anything wrong with what they’ve done. You register a squad of players, you should have the right to choose whichever starting 11 you want. I don’t begrudge them giving other players a chance at all.

don't see the point, only team Burnley have left is cardiff on the last day, would have made more sense to wait till after sheffield utd to complain. Won't do us any good either in any way.

Watched the highlights of this game. Burnley absolutely battered QPR. Just one of those games we’ve all seen before, they did everything but score.

They also have Blackburn away. Little cynic that I am, it has crossed my mind that they're going to win the title at Ewood Park and rub their rival's noses in it.

Still unsure how Burnley were not out of sight by half time. They were against Town when we bent over & let them shaft us 4-0........Did we play a weakened team at Turf Moor?

If Blackburn let them that is - they won’t want that on their home patch for sure... That said if Sheffield United win on Wednesday and Blackburn did on Tuesday it’d be 7 points and The Blades could still get 9 including beating us unfortunately - We definitely want Sheffield United up before their trip to Huddersfield - it would be handy to have Burnley still needing to beat Cardiff on the last day to be champions but I don’t think the permutations of The Blades chasing them would allow it to work out... Burnley v Blackburn could be a draw (still not enough if Sheffield United Win on Wednesday) but I still think they would get it on Matchday 45 v Bristol City and be home n’ hosed before their last game v Cardiff... Ultimately though as many have said - it’s in our own hands - Thankfully ! 😊

Not really arsed that they field a weakened side. They're on the beach and they seemingly dont care about getting the title sown up, or they are confident or getting that sorted in the last few games.
We did it on our promotion season to what I interpreted as a way to avoid Fulham in the semis.
We should have played better and got more wins throughout the season so we could have not been fighting it out at the end of the season. That being said we have three games which put our fate in our hands without worrying our teams results.

Time will tell if that was a good decision or not. But for me we basically threw that game. Said so at the time. So how the chuff can we complain?

It’s a 25 man squad. A manager should be able to pick any 11 from that 25 whenever they want, any game they want. If a team doesn’t have enough points over a 46 game season to stay up then that is on them, no one else.

Annoying...... But we have to earn enough points ourselves! 3 games - 2 wins job done.

Surprised how many people think town have done the wrong thing in complaining about this. Also surprised how many (incorrectly) saying town did the same thing a few years ago. I would imagine Neil himself is non too pleased at Burnley gifting points to our rivals and maybe that explains why the club have grown a pair after meekly accepting being robbed of promotion last May.

Does’t make a lot of sense this, especially if it backfires on us with Sheff Utd having something to play for.
All I can imagine is that those in power at the club feel very aggrieved that we were chastised in 2017 and the league was not holding other clubs to the same standard. If so fair do as far as I’m concerned.
We need to back this bolshy attitude with three good performances and we’ll never talk about it again.
