He tries to get Scannell, Butterfield and Bunn on the pitch when ever he can, if he was completely against these types of players he wouldn't play them. He's given debuts to Boyle and Charles recently (they haven't had long on the pitch obviously but it's a start). As for Lolley I can see his problem, he plays in the same position as Scannell but he offers nowhere near the defensive side as Scannell and at the moment we aren't good enough to be able to carry players that won't work back. Everyone knows Lolley has talent but there are parts of his game he needs to work on and it should be one of the easiest parts of his game to work on. Even he cant play 11 defenders. Had Majewski all season and given him no time, be none of his sort of player coming in i wouldn't have thought. Before this season Lolley had started one game in the Championship and he scored one and set up two in it. Took him over 30 games to get another start and only got the odd 3 or 4 mins if that for the majority of those. Poor do for me. Aye, some baffling decisions have been made and his use of subs has been poor, I can't argue against that. So if you were Dean would you be sacking Powell now and starting a fresh over the summer?

I know it's hard to judge on a the brief appearances he's had, but he's never impressed. He also plays in the same role as Butterfield who's arguably been our best player this season and has had no injuries/suspensions. Personally I'd rather have seen Billing/Holmes/Tronstadt on the bench having the cameos Majewski's had these past few games. Yeah agree re Butterfield who's prob been our player of season for me. Majewski's had basically no time at all tho which I don't agree with and would suggest we wont be looking at anyone like him in the summer. Fair point about Billing etc, would def like to see him on the bench for rest of the season, maybe odd start if/ when we're safe. I was hoping he'd start when coady and Hogg were out but he went for Edgar which was a shit decision from the off

No I don't think he can mate. Spent all that time 'making sure we got the right man in', looks like he's gonna get bare minimum required ie staying up. Would be a bold move, no chance. Its just certain things tbf, not going for it at home, shite subs, if any at all, does same thing over and over again even when it clearly doesn't work. If he can sort some of those who knows. I've not entirely written him off but not overly optimistic. Would love to be wrong.

This is what I find baffling about the Edgar bashing, he has never started a game when Hogg AND Coady hve been unavailable. Edgar has started when Hogg was unavailable at Wigan and Millwall, and at home to Leeds, we won 2 of those 3 games. Edgar has started one game when Coady was unavailable which was the 3-0 home win against Reading and Edgar was selected as one of the 3 centre backs. but yeah just shit decisions when 9 out of 12 points were gained from them.

While I don't think Edgar has been anywhere as near as bad as many on here try and make out, I wouldn't be looking to keep him on next season and wouldn't exactly call him a success. However, Holt certainly was and Miller has shown plenty of promise, although it is early days. The Poyet signing was a bit strange, as it was in a position we didn't really need at the time and was when we were on a great run, so didn't really need to make many changes to the first team. It is also worth bearing in mind Powell has only been able to bring in loan signings/short term, which does severely limit who you can target. Basically, I find it hard to come to any judgement about exactly what he's like in the transfer market. Not sure how you have, probably as you made your decision about him before he was appointed, or (looking at your previous posts) are yet another Leeds fan on the wind up.

I must've thought them two were out as he's never a midfielder in a million years. He's had a few games there and looked poor in all of them

Before criticising Powell's approach to games, it would perhaps be more fair to wait until he brings in some more of his own players.
Hypothetically, if he doesn't rate some of the players he's got to work with, surely you can't blame him for being conservative.

I would say the Wadsworth season and the football under Ritchie was a hell of a lot worse but maybe that's just me.

Can somebody remind we when we were playing entertaining winning football on a consistent basis since our return to this division.

We had 30+ shots in the last game. Is that not trying to win? How many of those 30 were poor shots ? That's hardly down to Powell

Blimey that rattled some cages! I do think the point about age is valid, he just wants to see good football, as we all do, and if we win thats a bonus. He WAS watching in the Wadsworth era and as I remind him he almost threw his season ticket at him during one particular bore fest so he does forget! As some people have sensibly posted among the rubbish that others have written, is good "edge of the seat" football too much to ask and is Chris Powell the man to deliver it based on what we've seen so far? Thats all he was saying and he's made his choice, only time will tell if he's a lone voice in the wilderness!

I'm not so sure it's how we're playing and more to do with the perception of football and people becoming disillusioned with football in general. This season has been nowhere as bad as some even I've seen in 25/26 years. To make this decision after the last 2 home games which have been entertaining in their own way is just bizarre, there have been far more boring weeks even in the last couple of years.

Love it how some fans act like this is Huddersfield Towns worst period ever in it's history. It's alsmost as if the club was founded the year we got promoted to the championship.

Dear Mr Powell Due to the type of football you seem to want to play being dull, boring and unadventurous my father, a Town fan for over 70 years and season ticket holder for the past 10, will not be renewing his season ticket. Just thought you should know in the vain hope you may see the light and change your phiosophy beofore many others follow suit! Another drama queen!

Mid seventys was very lean indeed watching in front of crowds of 3 to 5 k max at Leeds Road, I'm in two minds over CP but have got new ST so I can post my good observations again.

This place would have been in meltdown in there was a DATM in 1988....2500 against Bournemouth ouch. Although this was the season of the FA Cup marathon with Manchester City and the away win at promotion chasing Bradford.

Very short/selective memories from some fans.. Did he not follow town in the Davy era? I do believe listening to HTFC supporters that the recession and the feel bad factor is taking it's toll and football is a casualty of people making important decisions over their time and finances. The majority of society now are in the doldrums and value for money is high on peoples agenda and complaining or griping as become the number one sport for most of us in some way, shape or form.. Those who can ride these things the best will become the strongest and that's why it's important in these times not to get pulled down into the negative and damaging calls from some sections of support.

Dear Mr Powell, Boo hoo boo hoo wah wah wah...I going to pretend there haven't been countless years of shitter football than what we get now and roll about on the floor crying like a melodramatic jessie.
Anyone bored at the last two home games must be in a semi-vegative state.
