its amazing how a manager with his track record, has since coming to town lost his mind and tactical knowledge isn't it ! or is it the players as they are the constant throughout the last 18 months? is he useless or are the players useless, or are the players just not listening ? you would have to see his training methods to judge , to then see what is happening on the pitch. It would only be town to have a manager with his track record, for him to become shit overnight it seems and completely forget what he is doing. Why do people blame him soley and not give the players any blame for this ? Heck we might find next year after a clearout of players, that if he was given a squad of players with the dynamics he wants, he can get them playing as he wants? I think people are giving the players far too much of a leaniet pass on this, we have players who have simply given up in many games this year weathery ou like it or not that is what has happened . I get the manager is the easy one to blame . But still lets have some balance to this idea that he is totally shit , he clearly is not , there is a balance to be had in this. Like i say if a clearout of players was to happen, if we could get him the squad daynmaic he wanted, i would give him a chance to get it to work. Only Town fans would watch a bunch of shite players, across two seasons, managed by a total of seven managers, who have mustered up 21 wins in 90 games, where the top scorer last season had six goals and this season's top scorer is a fucking defender, and still think that it's not the players' fault we're in this mess. Two more games to go, and hopefully we'll be seeing the back of some of these arseholes that have been disgracing our shirt. My kind of old fashioned view is thst it’s all down to money. The crazy amounts even average (very average) players make. They don’t play for Huddersfield Town or any other club, they play for the dollar. No pride as they are tied into a contract paying stupid money with zero fucks given. Shame really. UTT. We’ll be back!!

Think he’ll walk should we be relegated. FWIW, I’d keep him.

This is just the rich tapestry that is Huddersfield Town. Following Town has never been easy. It’ll be reyt. We’re going up as next years champions. I know I can be optimistic at times but thinking we're prem bound next season is optimistic even by my standards It would be fucking funny if we did . 😊

Huddersfield Town will fucking rise again, etc. I have to admit, I’m not feeling it at the moment. Need the season to finish and recharge the batteries over summer. Yes absolutely mate. Totally agree. We’ll also have England to moan like fuck about.

www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/andre-breitenreiter-explains-high-risk-28998427Lees had been sidelined for five matches with a calf injury, while Rudoni missed the previous two games with a hamstring problem. However, Breitenreiter opted to select the pair in the starting lineup after they had trained for just one session. The Terriers’ boss revealed that he had been left dissatisfied with some of his players’ performances in training heading into the game, prompting him to take a chance on the returning duo. “It was high-risk, because he (Lees) trained just one time yesterday with the team, and also Jack Rudoni, but I was not satisfied with the performances in the training session of other players, so we took the risk, and also the players, and it worked. They played really well, so everything was right.”
So the two dropped players...Ben Jackson and Ben Wiles? 😮😅 Calling players out in public (whether named directly or let the fans work it out) is so unprofessional. Bollocks to that mate …. Good on him I say. They earn a fucking fortune and if they don’t want to put the graft in then fuck ‘em.

Fair post mate and good luck. I have spent a lot of time in the West Mids/ Worcestershire area and have a lot of mates who are bluenoses. No idea what’s going to happen…. Anything is possible. Just hope our game goes off without incident. UTT.

….The ‘Mayor of Cov’ (MA)? There was a poor attempt at ‘ Give us an H’ at Bristol and hadn’t read any of his stirring rhetoric on here for ages. Just wondered.
Hopefully he’s fit and well and just doesn’t post anymore. UTT

We could still maybe do it, somehow, but I can’t see it. That was one massive kick in the balls today. We played well and won that game and then it was taken away. Think that’s really hard to come back from at this stage. Yup. Yet.... If we'd been offered a draw before kick off, we'd all have taken it? It’s funny you should say that…. I was thinking on the way home ( in attempt to calm myself down) that had we scored a 99 th minute equaliser I would be as happy as a pig in shite …. Funny old game. UTT …. It’ll be reyt.

"She qualified as an official through the Durham County FA and began refereeing in university football and in Sunday leagues in Sunderland. She began her refereeing career in 2010, combining the role with an administrative job in the NHS, before going full-time in 2019. Welch has regularly appeared in the Women’s Super League and officiated three games at the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer, after being selected in Uefa’s elite referees list." She has been a ref for 14 years at different levels and she has refereed at a decent level before this. I have no idea if this is quicker than most blokes go through the ranks or if she is seen as having the ability to move up the ranks quickly. You do wonder if her moving up to the level she has refereed at does tick some boxes but she is not a novice. The issue is she added on more time than most refs would have and how she saw that as handball is beyond me, although Turton just shrugged and didn't complain so maybe he knew he had handled it. The sexism which many posters are quick to jump at is awful, her gender is not the issue. As has been said we have had worse male refs but this is a particularly hard decision for us at this time. It really hurts that her time addition and her penalty decision, both hers alone, have cost us 2 points we could not afford to lose. That is the issue I have with her performance today. A well reasoned argument. Certainly leagues above the ‘get back in the kitchen’ that Rockwall posted earlier (and subsequently deleted). She is a shockingly bad referee. Most are. She was particularly bad today. End of.

She was fucking clueless. A lady sat next but door one to me was baffled and horrified by her decisions, not because she was a female …. just because she was inept. Useless. Town fans excellent today as always.

Watching Lee Nicholls presser yesterday was intersting, as he kept saying the term "togetherness" that as a club we should be together, as a fanbase and a team we should be together. I found it intersting because is Lee trying to convince the fans that the team are "together" ? Because as a fanbase we are "together" in the fact we do not want to go down and want the club to be sucessful. Where as the team itself it is very much debetable that they are "together" in my eyes anyways. As a team they have not shown the hallmarks of a team that is "together" at all this season, where as in previous campgains and i am not just talking about promotion or nearly campagins , we have shown this. Heck in the first season back in the champ, we showed this towards the end with big wins full of character and desire, even under Powell we showed this in games. Yet we have not had any what you would say "big" wins as of yet or full games of heart and desire , Lion preformances if you will. We have had a lot of doing "just enough" or " well we nearly had x". This season i do wonder if the players actually like each other or even care about the preformances they are putting in at times, as the complete fall aprts worry me . There also seems to be a lack of support for each other both on the ball and off it, IE tracking back properly to support a team mate and supporting the man on the ball. This season there just does not seem to be that spark.Like i say it just an opinnion and i hope tomorrow is the starting point of us staying up of course UTT. Town fans are together because we fucking support Huddersfield Town. We don’t need to be told that. As with all football fans we don’t agree on everything but one thing we do know is we support Town and always will. (Unlike overpaid soft arsed players). UTT. Happy Friday!

Remember that was a load that went on a bus walked out after 3rd goal to go pub they were shut so stuck on bus for rest of game Always hated them proper bogey team Hadn’t that pub been burnt down by Town fans earlier that day? That was a bad day. The pub burning was post drubbing I think.

Just give it to Worthy until the end of the season. He’ll keep us up and then reset in May.

I live in Cheltenham so I could give him a lift on about six home games a year and about the same away. Would struggle to make training though. It’s just a fucking ridiculous scenario and we should all move on….nothing to see here.

I once got him & Mark Lillis mixed up in the Crown a few years ago (oops, good for older Terry), ask why he was always on the bench (only 1 sub) when Towns goalie got crocked.......Just a coincidence or did Greavsie tell him to bring some gloves? At least 3 times from memory. When I was speaking to Terry last week, he mentioned the instance in which he replaced Terry Poole at Birmingham. Basically, no-one else would go in 😂 I'll ask about the other times when I see him. Does Terry have fond memories of Bob Latchford? 😊

If Nagle has any aspirations then surely he cannot afford another gamble. He needs to do his research and go after the right man imo, even if he's attached to another club. We cannot afford to be relegated. It has to be the best man for the job. Unfortunately any managerial appointment is a gamble to a degree. Look at Chelsea, you’d have thought pochettino would have worked out better than it currently is. Absolutely. X could be a great appointment at Town and two years later be totally shite at Leeds and vice versa. Basically a lot of luck involved in any new management team,be it at Town or any other club.

Remember seeing way back in 2004 at away game versus Oxford United when the Patrons used to have pre game meets with management. Also on that day John Motson turned up for a chat. Clearly remember Sodje winding up the Oxford fans and guess who scored the winner, good old days. Very good day that. ✌️ Good luck Ann! An amazing contribution to the club.

Cocaine is absolutely rife in Hudds/Kirklees, and probably most areas of the UK right now. Teenagers on it, adults on it. Available everywhere. I had a 16 year old tell me a few weeks ago that he didn't mind it being cut with a substance essentially the same as rat poison, as it gave him a 'buzz'. When it arrives in the country, instead of being impounded it should be cut with arsenic and allowed to be distributed - then just sit back and let Charles Darwin take care of the rest. I guarantee society would improve exponentially within a year or so. Exponentially is a an excellent wurd. I doff my cap to you sir.
