Thought we were organised and set up well by Moore. Cant fault the effort and commitment of the players and the result is what it is..not really bothered about it myself.
What was disappointing was that when we got the ball we let ourselves down. We have better players than they looked in that game and at times a 10 yard pass was beyond us.
Dont know why, maybe some were a bit over-awed by the opposition but in possession we were dreadful.
The most important thing was we didnt appear to pick up any fresh injuries for this weekends much more important game.

I see Sugy has been sent a PM by the admins, likely as not he'll be on here soon asking how to open it.

Has to be the coaching team. I agree the defensive setup looked decent, no doubt aided by the fact we have some good players. That's not enough though. |

Not the players then?
My point is they are players who can make those simple passes to each other usually...just in that game they seemed to freeze whenever they got the ball.
Nobody has coached them to be unable to make a pass any decent Sunday league player could manage...that they couldn't on Saturday is down to the players IMO.
We had 12 of our first team unavailable against the best club side in the world...to be honest im just glad we can forgot about the FA cup and that we werent totally humiliated even though we took a shoeing.

We know, you're on here begging someone to sort you a stream every matchday 🤷 Far from it these days but will watch a game if i have the time Cant see the point paying £10 when you can watch the game for free
Do you never go to games anymore . Just watch on streams now or is that just away games ( not having a dig here) just wondered after 60 years . |

The City lad has got plenty of replies 🤣 Can’t imagine any real town fans thought that was the biggest game of season . I’ve travelled all over the country this year and genuinely couldn’t care about this game, an inevitable result at a soulless plastic club run by money with now soulless fans. Not a big day out in the slightest for me. |

I always think it's a bit simplistic to blame the players. I think we've learned by now how absolutely vital the coaching team are. Last season probably the best example you'll see of how much more a quality coach can get from a group of players than a poor or average coach. Players need coaching, no matter how good they are, some, like koroma for example need it a bit more than most. |

Ah well - Would’ve been Tottenham Hotspur had we took care of The Mighty Manchester City...
But we didn’t and now...
There are THIRTEEN Championship clubs (I think) having to face the next round and Town don’t -
So surely a decent advantage in favour of HTAFC from a fitness and fatigue perspective ?
And every little helps in these critical times surely ! 😉

Warnocks very good at the psychological side of management that gets the best out of some players...for a period of time anyway. I think its too simplistic to just put everything at the feet of the coach when players dont perform. If players let their own standards fall to the point they cant do pretty basic things with the ball, then how is that the coaches fault? Thats down to the individual player. All the coach can do is send them out organised, and motivated and Moore did IMO. Dont think warnock would have done anything different. |

Prick. We took over 6000, which is a great turnout. But for me Plymouth on Saturday means far more as does Blackburn the week after. Sunday was for the kids , go see KDB and foden because with the confidence and quality of footy being played by town that game was never going to finish in towns favour. Each to their own but it didnt feel like a big must attend game to me. |

6000 is a stunning turnout for a game we were always going to lose and lose heavily, in a competition we havent cared about for years ,at a stadium weve been to more than once recently and when the game's live on tv.
Other than the league cup game, its the least important match of the season.
Im amazed we took more than a couple of thousand to be honest. Fair play to all those who went.
Man City hoover up trophies and have the best club side in the world to watch..yet there are always loads of empty seats at their games unless its one of the really big teams theyre playing....I dont think they can take the piss out of anyones support.

I only went to hopefully see some of the best players in Europe and we all knew what the outcome would be. I cant understand this childish talk of City being a plastic club, even before they got the money men in they were one of the most successful clubs in the country. Lets face it, would we turn down that type of chance but as some Town fans keep reminding us, were just little old Huddersfield i am sure that Burnley which is a small Town think that way!!.

For me, it isn't really about the money. They don't actually spend as much as the other 'top teams'. For me, it's the absolute shitshow of a crowd. They have become a brand. The fact a player coming on was their biggest noise of the day speaks volumes (literally). A ripple of applause for a goal, sat in silence. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to go sing and shout. But they genuinely seemed bored. The brand has attracted tourists, who pay good money to go see KDB etc. They don't actually care about the team. Kids growing up now, a lot follow players, not teams. |

I just don’t think the City fans, including the ones we met didn’t understand why we said Plymouth next week was a bigger game than this. As one said. ‘never seen a championship game, is it like L2. Good just im not a violent person, unlike the young City fans hanging around Victoria station picking a fight with anybody!

To be fair there were dozens of teenage town fans Ont train back to Huddersfield.. Singing “football in a library “.. All the way back.. Because it’s reeeeaaaalllly funny to sing that isn’t it🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Fooookin cretins.. Youth is wasted on the young.. 🍻🍻 |

Not to support town . That’s what makes shit atmospheres when people at grounds aren’t emotionally involved in the game just there to witness players town seat or city seat , plastic fans it kills football atmospheres, not an insult just modern day football . I support my club not who plays for it. One of the Most . Successful teams before the money , when in the 80s ? 40 years ago. . Man City were a proper club now they are a soulless money pit full of tourists. Read there forum the fans that went years ago talk of shit atmospheres and plastic fans . Each to their own but football ias lost its soul at the top and I would swap back to the old days in a heartbeat irrelevant of world class players being in the pyramid now. |

I don’t really get the criticism of the city support.
They are almost two leagues above us but in reality the gap is larger than that. If we were to play Rochdale or Stockport for example at home in the third round next season what do people think our crowd would be like? Would we be celebrating like mad at scoring goals or giving a muted cheer.
I’m sure the atmosphere when playing games that are more of a level playing field is very different.
The city fans we spoke to both to and from the ground were friendly and humble.

Agree with that, games in the past we've been emotional nervous wrecks because of the importance of the game, other games like beating Macclesfield 6-0 in the cup for example i've barely got out of my seat when the goals went in. |

The gap is even larger than that they are doing it with teams in their own division , increasing stadium capacity and the old school are and have get bored of it, many seats are filled with day trippers and that’s why it’s become plastic. Even SOME of the away end are there to see KDB and co and not treating it like a usual away trip see above. |

The city fans we spoke to both to and from the ground were friendly and humble. 1. How can you be almost 2 leagues above someone? They are 1 league above. 2. I think it is down to the people attending. They are now a franchise. People go for a day out to watch certain players. There are still the stalwarts, but it is ruined by tourists and rich people who actually don't give a hoot about the game. They can just say 'I went to watch Man City'. 3. Regarding us, I agree that atmosphere for lower league opposition isn't great, but those that attend are true fans, they want to be there. At City, they will ways sell out as so many people around the globe have a chance to go watch them. |
