Agree. Though that incident was an interesting one because everyone could see the backpass coming, and we're shouting for him not to do it. He appeared to then second guess it and look for an option, but not seeing one, did it anyway. (From where I sat that's what it looked like anyway). Quite a few comical 'no, no, noooo's from where I was sitting (including me). Its symptomtic of a bigger issue though. LM has even admitted himself the possibility of over-coaching, overloading with information. Seems to lead to players making bizarre decisions. (Unless they have the vision and decision making skills of an Iniesta!) Just bizarre not to put the ball back in the box when everyone is up for a corner. It's hardly route one football to ping it back in from a set piece.

She clearly wasn't looking at who had the ball when she stopped play. But one of her assistants should have been able to help her out. Bizarre moment that.

First half was very poor. They were sharp and up for it, we weren't. Either the system wasn't working, or the wrong players in the wrong roles due to absence of Vyner and Dickie. Maybe a bit of both. Individuals like sykes and Williams just didn't look up for it or showed very poor quality on a few occasions. Second half we came out with more intensity which they all do deserve a bit of credit for. So many first halves like that this season have been followed up by worse second halves! So credit that they came out with a bit more gusto and you could see them trying to fire one another up. We were still a bit slow with the final ball, or hesitant to shoot. Their goal came after our best spell so credit to us for sticking at it. I had a pretty good view of the penalty incident - hit an srm but at pretty close range. I'm always surprised when we get a penalty (!), but wasn't surprised that she gave it and she was very fussy and gave a lot of soft fouls all afternoon. Didn't let much go. Pleased that we showed a bit of fight and got a goal at the end and keep the mini unbeaten run going. First half performance was really very poor and it's obviously a concern that we are still seeing that kind of performance - as somebody above said, its not a good ST renewal advert! But at least we got something out of the game, even if Huddersfield will feel hard done by

Mass exodus as soon as their goal went in. At that point there were what, 9 mins left? Though I didn't see us getting a goal it's a risk leaving that early these days with more stoppage time

Pen!

Huddersfield player down having been hit by a football. What are the chances

Been better this half. Granted it was a low bar. Sucker punch.

Anis on for Williams. Knight to drop back I assume. Gone off the boil last 5 mins

Much better start.

Even fewer first ! Hope Manning is bold with some half time subs. Sykes and Williams need to improve or come off

Yep. Think the two behind Tommy have to work harder to find space and show better first touch when they get it played in. and Sykes need to be more direct when he gets the ball. All pretty listless so fat. Frustrating. We are rotating the starting 11 so no excuse of tiredness for me. Just not at it.

Pring with a back pass from the centre circle gets the whole crowd moaning noo noo nooooo

Difficult to build up from the back with tanner at cb. Cant ping a pass like zac. When he's on the right he sometimes gets forward overlapping Ross. But Ross hasn't got up and down much from rcb today. Few of our players need to show for the ball more and play with a hit more urgency

They look sharp. We look a bit stilted. Few poor touches from Williams

Few players slipping over. Ref giving out cards like confetti
