I'm a pretty positive/ glass half merchant but that has to be one of the most hapless, spineless and characterless performances I have seen in 45 years support. It's not losing matches it's how you lose and that was as inept as I can remember. Coming out of the ground I said to some Tamworth fans they deserved it, and they did. We didn't cope with the pitch, which is no excuse, and looked heartless and 2nd rate. You keep hoping that we have turned a corner/stopped the rot and then we get a pitiful effort like this. I don't boo/berate the team, and didn't tonight but I couldn't criticise anyone who did...and there were plenty. Duff looked physically shaken by the response and he and the players deserved to too. I realised a few weeks ago that turning the Town tanker around was likely to take longer than we all hoped. Nights like this show how much there is to do. Mr Nagle and his team need to take notice because although anyone can have a bad night this really shows where the club is and how much more is required. A very bad night. A night when 16/17 seems like a dream that never happened. That performance is no more hapless than about 50 games we’ve seen in the last few season. That’s why I sit here completely numb and unsurprised to it. That’s the main problem. We aren’t even shocked. That’s why it’s not even a proper upset for town fans. We are a parody of ourselves |

Why doesn't he look at himself for once. Yet more shit tactics, yet another game where he can't change it when it goes against us. He is not a good manager. ... and yet another manager suggesting that the players don't have a backbone. I see a theme here. Yes. Saving himself. |

Laughing at their goal assisted by their number nine punching our keeper. Of course the ref doesn’t see it and of course we don’t complain.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a goal thrown in, which is at least something memorable We once scored one at Barnsley. Cowan? Didn’t the ‘goal’ stand though? |

Looks as though Duff is as mad as a Waasp! Rightly so. Why doesn't he look at himself for once. Yet more shit tactics, yet another game where he can't change it when it goes against us. He is not a good manager. The players are no very good as shown by the years of perennial struggling. Relegation threatened year over year, losing the majority of the time, no balls between any of them. Made every half decent manager look piss poor. Warnock (In the 1st part of last season, Darren Moore (Regardless of how folk rate him, did ok at Sheff Wed, and doing alright now at Port Vale), Breitenreiter (who did decent elsewhere), now Duff. The club shit themselves having a proper reset with the playing staff, so half arsed it. A lot of players with 1 year left on their contracts now, so we should see a bigger rotation of players in the next 12 months. You can tell Duff knows how fragile these players are in his post game pressers. You know deep down he wants to call it as it is, for the players being soft as shit, no heart, no desire. But, he's walking on egg shells with this group. |

Last season it was Thomas and Burgzorg who were allegedly poisonous apples, they’ve gone now and we’ve brought in the following players Miller Sorenson Evans Ladapo Marshall Lonwijk Kane Hodge That’s 8 players this summer, almost an entire team and we are competing (poorly) in an awful league and losing against league 2 and non league teams in the cup. We play one system with no patterns of play. The easy excuse for a poor manager is to blame it on the players and that’s exactly what duff is doing. These are mostly the players which he has had an input into signing along with our useless DOF. |

Every time we lost it's the same shit. He never tries and changes it. 3 centre halves 1 down against a part-time side is inexcusable. |

It's all too nice, gentile and respectful. They had to do a job tonight and hit the ground running. Instead the play it gently, score after about an hour plan failed. Tamworth got at Town, played better and Town had no answer.
Last season's show ponies have been replaced with new ones who seem equally ineffective.
The football played seems to be seen as a process. There is no apparent win ugly mentality. Successful sides can win in style, but can grind out results when needed. For years Town have been able to do neither.
After a week at work, the part timers showed more energy and desire than those who spent a week training for this game. Warnock would have walked this one.

The BBC has a good replay of the goal and it looks absolutely horrific. Any professional keeper should keep that out. NO EXCUSES!! Didn’t help when their no.9 aimed a right hook at him. If only VAR was in play...  |

I can't recall Tamworth's successful passing % but it was something like 50%. I've never seen a team at every throw in inside opposition halve throw the ball into the box. They made it ugly, which they had EVERY right to, and who blames them? But, I wont back down on saying the majority of our players don't have the bottle. Dare I say it, tonight was the sort of game you have Hogg in the middle for though. He wouldn't have been out legged, thats for sure. |

FAO: Kev, Dave. You have delivered two of the most embarrassing moments watching town in my lifetime - Leeds away last season, where I left after 38 minutes out of pure disgust, and tonight. I've also endured others (Macclesfield 4-0 etc) but two within 1 year is quite impressive. Please go and deliver us some good memories.

Who picked the team, made like for like subs, and didn't push us forwards in a bombardment? The Tamworth manager got it spot on. Ours couldn't have got it more wrong. |

For a goal to put you out against non-league opposition, that's as close to perfection as you're ever likely to get 👌 |

There's nobody who could convince me that Warnock wouldn't have kept us up last season, or have us 2nd in the table this season. Of course he is a dodgy so and so, and his appetite for management is limited, but we ended it and look where we are now. And look what a state we are in. |

Where’s all the usual bellcheeses tonight?
Dan making his cocky comments to get a few likes, shortbread turning on everyone, is this acceptable?
That was embarrassing. Doesn’t matter if we are unbeaten in 4. Yet again, we are the laughing stock. Conceded or lost the most amount of games in the last ten years ( in that brilliant league table). And our manager wonders why the fans don’t trust him? Are you surprised?
Make all the shitty clothing you like, we need to learn to be a respectable club. Just as you think we are turning a corner, we go back to square one.
Careful though, we aren’t allowed to criticise Kevin because he painted the stadium.

Many said it at the time and I hate to keep harking back to it but the decision to remove Warnock goes down as one of the worst in the club’s history, easily on a par with the decision to sell Stewie when we did. I’d have put my house on him keeping us up last season had he remained in charge. Not everyone’s cup of tea granted but a damn good manager with a record at Championship level second to none. But messrs Nagle and Cartwright thought better. |

Tonight was shit, utter shit. Totally ruined my weekend……. and I bloody love it. Nothing else in life can cause such extreme emotions. I’ve been self flagilating myself as a Town fan since I arrived in Huddersfield in the late 90s from Ireland. Huddersfield as a Town embraced me and I have created a great life here and I have fully embraced Huddersfield Town. Over 25 years as a season ticket holder now, with two young kids inflicted with supporting this great club. My youngest, who is 8 and a season ticket holder since he was 5, said to me this evening that he doesn’t want to support Town anymore, he wants to move to Man City. I explained to him that in a year or two, Man City’s cheating will have caught up with that and they’ll be in a league below us. Thats the ups and downs of football . I think it t did the trick. 😁
I also explained that these are the days and nights that make the good nights even more enjoyable. It doesn’t have to define our season. Never mind Man City and Liverpool who seem to win all the time, this is what supporting a football team is all about- proper real football. I’ll go out with my mates tomorrow and slag off Town but will defend them to the hilt if any of the Leeds or Man U or Man City dicks try to slag us off.
I’m not a dyed in the wool Yorkshire man but I love this club and I love the ups and downs. Tonight will seem like a distant memory when we win promotion at Wembley in May. We aren’t the first league team to be humbled in the FA cup by a non league team and we won’t be the last.
Ah bolllocks, that’s the extreme emotions kicking in again, I’ll be labelled a happy clapper now - Duff out! 😆

Ah, I forgot the likes of Bojan, Ladapo and Ward are…. I think we basically feel the same terrier 17. I certainly wouldn't put any of the strikers you mention above Koroma. I actually don't think we have ONE decent, or even half decent, striker at the club and haven't had since Grant left, and he was no world beater. Ward is a disgrace - has taken money out of our club, lots of it, for no return and we know the Warnock's connection. Ladapo, I think, was once adequate but is obviously no longer so now Bojan is just an insult to £million pound footballers - and to us supporters. Koroma is basically a one-trick pony who has failed in this division before. For whatever reason his head is often the first to go down . Healey is totally unreliable because of his injury record - a record we were told about by his previous club's supporters forums I could go on but I really can't be arsed, like half those people that represented us tonight. I'm not a Nagle hater, but the way he and Carmichael rather mockingly rejected criticism of Cartwright on their last video really angered me. |
