Please tell us when Sobra has been at his best, when, which game and when he took the game by the scruff of his neck and made the all important difference ? Corners, free-kicks and crosses. We all know that he can be so much better with them than he was today I really can't say I've seen much of that ability in recent games. |

Wow. Rudoni was head and shoulders above anyone today and missed the last 8 games! Always offering an option for other players to pass to even when it didn't come off. He's our most important player by a distance. Most ranking sites would disagree, but I wasn't there and only saw on tv. But fair enough mate. X |

DM played his get out of jail free card, but you can't gloss over what , for me, was just another 90 minutes of utterly shambolic effort...woeful tactics ..and the players look like they've no idea what, or where they're supposed to be. My grandsons Under 14 game tomorrow will have more structure about it.....Come along..Hepworth v Honley, 9:30am at Holmbridge Stadium..(Rec)... Free admission..pub open for coffees.. free parking...then after, a walk round Digley Res..then a pint or two at the Pickled Pheasant..(lunches available), What's not to like..? Blimey, free admission and free parking for an Under 14's game. Good to see you can still get some real bargains in this country  |

He's our most important player by a distance. Agreed. Kasumu is all of a sudden showing what he's about too. Since the run last week and watching again today, he looks very quick. Hopefully stays injury free now. |

Garbage today - didn't lay a glove on them - 1 shot on target until 95th minute.
Millwall lost 10 of 15 home games and we scraped a point.
This was pretty much our strongest 11 too!

The question still remains, in two parts:
1 - Are we able to identify, attract and secure new recruits in January? Are those responsible up to the task, can Mr Nagle sufficiently back them?
2 - If new players are added have we seen enough from DM on the pitch for them to be transformative? By transformative I mean good enough to keep us up?
We are still walking a tightrope as to our immediate future. There is also little we as fans can do other than to challenge those in charge and also hope for the best.

One thing struck me today, apart from the fact we have fewer teeth than a 95 year old.
an hour in, Miwwwaww are one nil up. They make a double sub. We do nowt. On Tuesday we had just gained some momentum and DM changed it for the worse. We lsot any foothold we had gained. Today we needed some, he does fuck all. He's shite.

I’ve said many times I almost never watch Town on TV, if I’m not at the game I don’t want to know what’s happening till it’s over. Just me. However, I watched the PNE game on Sky a few days ago, hated it.
Having been at the game today I’m slightly surprised to read that the majority of fans that presumably watched today on iFollow or whatnot thought today was shocking. I just didn’t think it was that bad really. In my opinion it was a lot better than PNE; it was still pretty mediocre but it wasn’t bad, and the result was OK.

He isn't the man for the job. We all know it. The fans don't want him here. However they aren't going to relieve him of his duties after we have pulled another point clear of the bottom 3 are they?

Well im happy with the point. I feared a thrashing but it is a decent point down there as never an easy place to go.
Certainly need a good window to bring some quality in, but this should have been done pre-season as we all know.
Trying to do things on the cheap and not adding strength and depth to the group has been disappointing to say the least.
As for DM, he has a lot to prove...

Gosh there's some miseries on here. Some players were out on their feet yet kept going until the end and earned us a deserved point. You can see the lack of confidence in some. If Sorba had been at his best we'd have won today. Great to see Jack is back Not sure its miseries pete - more a case of bored beyond belief. Its a tough watch right now - and i dont see it turning with this man in charge. Theres simply no positive in game impact from him at all imo and 2 wins in 15 says it all. The team selection was as good as it’s going to get, Koroma instead of Ward perhaps, don’t know what “ in game impact “ you expect , nothing on the bench , Marvo the Magician would be struggling with that bench. |

I think that's probably right. Those who aren't convinced are going to need to see a significant turn around to change their mind. Moreover there's only so many times that you can state your frustration. Foer all the words and posts we are relying on a handful of people to get things right and/or make a decision. Unless something dramatic happens, either way perhaps the time has come to see what happens? |

His first game in charge was at Coventry when we stole a point with a 95th minute equaliser. But I do take your point... |

That's true to a degree but where is the guile, innovation, trying something different? We aren't blessed with abundant playing resources but that surely doesn't mean we can offer nothing more than low block and hope for a break, mistake or favourable decision? I know it's not an argument you'll favour, and I'm not making this point to create an argument, but NW was able to do better with a similar pack. |

Our forward players are absolutely dire. Ward anonymous, Burgzorg terrible first touch, Sorba erratic, Koroma doesn’t know what he’s going to do next. Millwall are poor but we’ve only managed 1 shot on target. Weak squad, poor coaching, uninspiring… again and again. P.s. Rudoni is the only player we have with real quality. Okay, I stand by my previous comments. Fair dos to Burgzorg tho - took his penalty well. Papering over cracks. A stolen point. |

Balance and perspective go out of the window when some folk appear to crave 'likes' on social media. |

Was at the game , overall we deserved a draw, although it looked unlikely once Millwall had scored
An improvement on the Preston game (not hard)
Rudoni gave us some options by actually moving off the ball
Sorba had a shocker, bad day at the office for him
Wish we would try a long ball forward over the top once in a while, their defence was slow

If Sorba had been at his best we'd have won today. Great to see Jack is back Sobra being at his best well when was that then? I maybe a minority on here but your Sobra is terrible at Free kicks, Crosses, Corners and for running into rabbit holes where he gets crowded out. He can't tackle for toffee, that why he doesn't have shin pads on, socks down, lazy, poor, Did I miss something? |

Myself (and I think the Town fans in general) hardly reacted to it at all and my first thought was well now DM has to do something, he has to react because we are losing. I think he’s a dead man walking and I can’t say I saw anything to convince me that he did something to influence the result after Millwall had scored, but the fact is we got a draw. Like I said, maybe it’s just muddying the waters a bit. |

Balance and perspective go out of the window when some folk appear to crave 'likes' on social media. What about the balanced critics who are merely concerned with what they are seeing on the pitch and feel the need to voice those concerns. We all want to see the best for our team, yes even those who crave "likes". We have not seen enough from our club I the last 5 years. The outlier Carlos season opportunity was ignored. I would much prefer to be looking at the positives and to a better future but in reality we are struggling....again. Trust me if I could see some real footballing positives I'd be supporting them (as my posting history will ascertain) but other than Mr Nagle taking some ownership (which I do welcome) there's little to be hopeful about (on the pitch). It certainly frustrates me but not as much as it saddens/disheartens me. That all said I know I am guilty of going over old ground and as I posted already there is only so much you can reiterate the same issues. I'll practice what I preach and watch what happens over the next 2-3 weeks. One final observation, if people are getting likes for pointing out the "doom and gloom" does that not suggest many agree? It might well be more than a bit downbeat but it reflects reality of what we are seeing. That all said I do respect your right to your opinion and wish you and all on DATM a Merry Christmas. Let's hope for better soon . |

Okay it’s a point but everyone needs to search their feelings and that will tell you we’ve seen enough to know this chump isn’t the coach/manager that we require... dull tepid boring football and even with better players would he approach things differently? I doubt it, he’s just too scared to try to win , Get rid now give us some hope that’s the least the support deserves ....and it is doom and gloom to answer an earlier poster, it’s pretty bad let’s face it, anyone who is satisfied with this shite week in week out just hasn’t the best interest of Huddersfield at heart

What would you have done? |
