We are just incredibly mediocre. The manager fits that profile perfectly. The squad is well short however because they have a bit more pride and endeavour than some of the more recent squads they look OK. We aren't 1 or 2 short we are 6 or 7. Every crappy 3 points between now and Jan 1st are so valuable because the higher we are the better chance we have of attracting the quality we need.

How and why does so much of our play go through Pearson. If that is an intentional tactic then I'd sack him tonight Agreed. Technically our worst player, and yet sees the most of the ball. In fairness to Pearson it speaks volumes to his bravery that he's prepared to show for the ball and take responsibility when those with greater ability do not.

Great win today and two superbly worked goals in the first 15 mins. Shame that that was as good as it got. The rest of the game we looked as disjointed as before the international break.
We still look a technically limited side that will continue to struggle at this level. We rarely stung any passes together and relied on hopeful punts from the back. We don't seem to have any patterns of play except working the ball to Pearson who then lashes the ball as high/far as he can.
I am happy with the win, but see little progression in terms of performance level I'm afraid.

Christ on a bike that was dire stuff. We'll take the 3 points but it's got to be better than that, thought we were going to smash after going 2 nowt up after 15 minutes but it was all backward after. If QPR had grabbed an equaliser could we have felt hard done by on the balance of play, probably not. Not saying QPR played well or anything but we were crap. Probably only Rudoni come out as having had a decent game and that's only for the assist for the first snd svoting the 2nd.

3 points and a good first 15 mins. After that Boore told sorba and Koroma to play as LB and RB and we were dreadful. They were there for a comfortable 4-0 and were falling out in lumps. Instead we allow them to play and end up fairly luckily holding on to 3 points. Credit where its due we were good for 15 mins. But the other 75 are once again firmly on Boore's shoulders. Also the apathy in the fan base is now entrenched. Pretty much end of Powell stuff. Must admit, I chose to spend the afternoon watching 2 pups tire each other out, and I usually go help our lass put away after she's run her group on a Tuesday night. That's still probably more preferable to watching a team set up by Moore. First home game I've missed since Corberan.

1 defeat in the last 8. Kev probably thinks his 3 year plan is working wonders so far.

I assume you mean 6 or 7 short of being top 6 or we'd have less points than Sheffield Wednesday.

Hoof ball. The midfield are so far apart. Rudhoni and wiles have to play closer together.
Three centre halves did well. Apart from their goal. The Helik block was superb.
Headley looked like he was in dream land. So slow.
Let’s see how we handle 2 more games this week. Surely Hogg can’t play three in a week ?
Rhodes scored again.

It cost us v Ipswich and apart from Nakayama today there wasn't much to choose from to change the game.

I take your point, but I think he sees so much of the ball because opposition teams are happy to leave him as our spare man. That said, he shouldn't be one of our main outlets. Others should be taking far more responsibility and showing for the ball more often.

Strange game. Thought we might roll them for a biggy early doors. They looked terrible, we worked some lovely short passing to open them up twice. Then we, inexplicably, sat off.
Chair started to prompt and we looked happy to let them play in front of us. They might have been happy but I certainly wasn’t as we looked really uncomfortable and extremely vulnerable. We looked dangerous on the break until we reached their area then we ran out of ideas.
We should have gone for the jugular once we were 2 up and we let every chance to rough up Chair go. I was also amazed that that weapon Colback didn’t get more shit from the crowd. Saying that, when he looks interested, he doesn’t look a bad player.

It’s probably some cognitive dissonance thing, but I can’t help feel that our opposition can quite easily get their foot on the ball and play some decent football, albeit without end results in some cases. We don’t seem to have that capability, we’re crying out for someone to take the role that someone like LOB did.
A lot of our stuff seems to lack composure, although very grateful for the 3 points.
The first 15 mins was solid, with 2 fantastically worked goals, what happened after that is probably beyond 99% of Town fans who saw that game today.
One to chalk down in the easily forgettable category today
UTT!!!

I see Moore is going to investigate why we took our foot off the gas at 2-0. I just can’t see why we would ease off, and let them back in to the game. Mind you it feels a long time since we had a team that went for the jugular and killed teams off. We very rarely finish comfortably. 3 points is welcome but we need to be miles better. I’d love to come out of the ground and not think “we were fortunate not to have thrown that away”. (I missed the Rotherham game).

A quality hard working championship defender who we miss when injured. He should only be asked to pass it simple.

Bit like that West Brom game a couple of seasons ago, looked like we’d got our mojo back, but then sat back at 2-0 and invited far too much pressure.

Others should be taking far more responsibility and showing for the ball far more often. We have a team of players that on the whole seem to prefer playing on the front foot and attacking at speed. When they are told to defend and pass slowly through a press they are a lot less positive and tend not to show as readily for the ball. We have to play to the strengths of the players we have.

It cost us v Ipswich and apart from Nakayama today there wasn't much to choose from to change the game. That's not Moore's fault though. We'll have more quality on the bench once we've got Turton, Ruffells, Kasumu and Ward fit again (added to Nakayama who was already on the bench that makes 5 decent options). Certainly not top 10 quality but enough to keep us from the trap door I would hope. If he can bring in 2 or 3 in January as well we should be fine; if someone can remind Wiles he's a decent footballer that would be like having a new player too.

Just listened to Boores post match interview and he said he would need to investigate why we sat off at 2-0.....
I'll help him, pearson definitely came over to Koroma with an instruction as we went 2-0 to which Koroma was not too impressed.
So if that didn't come from Boore then it must of either been pearson himself or the true gaffer Hogg.

Its only 3 weeks ago I was saying I'd get behind Moore and not get on his back. I'm calling him now. Sorry. His in game decisions are baffling. We've let a poor side, who looked dead and buried back into the game and now look the better side. He's going to ruin koroma aswell playing as wing back. He was arguably our best player last 6 month. Now out of position Moore has taken on a championship team without a single fit recognised striker. Up top, he's got little alternative to Harratt (3 goals in 24 in League 2 last year), Koroma (2 goals in 16 in League 1, before his brief purple patch with us), and Burgzorg (0 goals in 13 for Mainz last year). Yet his record to date is 1 win, 1 loss, 3 draws. Football's not been thrilling. But given the resources at his disposal that's creditable.

Haven’t read any comments yet, but having gone two up within 14 minutes the rest of the game panned out all too predictably. Why oh why do we simply never capitalise on such a good start and really hammer someone? It’s always such a struggle with Town.
Probably comes down to the quality of players we have and that will largely dictate the tactics…….irrespective of who the manager is.

Intense pressing and decent quick passing and build up right from kick off until our second goal.
At this point you'd be forgiven for thinking Huddersfield Town have had 2 weeks of absorbing Darren Moore's supposed attacking philosophy and have put it into practice in style.
Then, it was as if someone flicked a switch. We sat back and invited QPR to play in front of us, allowing them to gain confidence. They scored one goal and could quite easily have got at least a point.
A tough watch.

You're quoting stats for players that mostly came off the bench last season. Nice try Darren/Kev.

Good three points but a disappointing performance apart from the first 20 minutes.
Two lovely goals from open play which is something we rarely see and then a strangely defensive mindset seemed to set in which just played into their hands.
I thought Moores interview afterwards was good, he seemed to think the same as all of us.
I think it’s always going to take a while for a new manager to settle in especially following a hugely popular predecessor and that’s what I think we’re seeing at the moment.

You can only imagine the QPR fans will be saying what the Wednesday fans said about us.... "worst team we have played this year"
Wouldn't have heard that under warnock.
