This Aaron's playing for them would do my head in. I get the impression he's one of those that likes being a footballer but doesn't particularly like playing football, lazy git!

Well he was one of ours

wow the stats are embarrassing as the home team, Holden has the tactical ability of a used tea bag...

Absolute burglary.

[Garland-sweden]

Second We can forget, not good but we were fighting

[YGBjammy]

Really need someone to knock these players' heads together; bloody hell.

Weinman spotted what our coach could not, we are sitting too deep. No shit Sherlock we have been since the 2nd goal.

Have been since 2019!!

[Kodjias Wrist]

I mean I actually feel sorry for Huddersfield they gave it everything. Stats alone show how we were dominated again. 

[Tre Bong]

That 2nd half was brutal to watch and we're very lucky to get all 3 points.

God, we made hard work of that.

I am sure Dean will see it a different way.

[Slack Bladder]

Well the first half hour was alright, but the last hour was all too familiar.

[blockbrowt1]

Never in doubt

[Cider_boy]

Never in doubt!

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Very very lucky tonight, not impressed with the fact that we always let teams come on to us after being a head. Huddersfield deserved at least a point, in fact probably all three.

[ralphindevon]

Delighted with the 3 points but from 40 minutes onwards very disappointing we couldn't at least hit them on the break regularly 

[Alessandro]

Huddersfield will be wondering how they lost that game.

We got the points, but after some really positive early signs, from about 30, 35 mins onward we just lost control of the game completely. 
 

It’s a recurring theme and will ultimately be our demise this season.

But more importantly for me, Holden...simply put, he just doesn’t seem capable of making tactical changes during a game when his opposition manager does.
 

All too often it’s 1 plan, hope we score first, scrap and try and hang on.

Huddersfield certainly aren’t as bad as their form suggests, and have a fair few players that we could do with, especially at full back. Not a bad result or performance at all.

Only because they played us

[Street red]

We won with less possession and zero corners still producing 45 minute performances but it's 3 points I suppose  

[TwoSheds]

Sign up Fat Frank 

[Curr Avon]

That was easily our worst second half performance of the season. Zero shots on goal and after the highs of 26 minutes in, when Huddersfield with their high defensive line appeared there for the taking we simply stopped competing in midfield and were overwhelmed.

Very lucky to win.

Result glossing over an abysmal performance , shocking under DH, imagine we extend his stay beyond 12 months......

We can't afford a proper manager, think we are stuck with him. He is so shite 

[WarksRobin]

Need to look at putting pressure on the ball. They have a defensive throw in and we back off to give an easy route out. No other team at this level does that.

[bemmyredjeff]

I've never seen a team that can be so consistently shit yet win so many games as City. 

 

 

[RedJim]

that was absolutely shite. what were the tactics there? completely got away with it.

[ralphindevon]

5/1 for a City win and BTTS seemed a good bet beforehand. 

I'd have cashed out if it were allowed after 50 minutes, thankfully it isnt 

[Jerseybean]

And breath. There was only one team in it from 30 minutes onwards, we hardly got out of our half in the second half and we’re fortunate more than once. TBH another game when the opponents will wonder how they didn’t get something out of it. 

My nerves are completely shredded.
 

[The Dolman Pragmatist]

Jesus, they had 27 attempts at goal (though only 6 on target).  Interesting to see what happens if a team simply chucks caution to the wind.  I’m struggling to remember when a team last put us under the cosh like that.  And breathe...

[sh1t_ref_again]

2 good goals and 3 points closer to safety, can not think of any other positives or enjoyment from that

[Rossi the Robin]

The only team where the table tells a lie 

[Red Exile]

Incredible that we got away with that!

Overwhelmed - made them look world beaters.

[BCFC Grim]

27 shots . Thats nearly one every 3 minutes.

[Loco Rojo]

Plenty of games over the years when we've been robbed.  Thats football.  3 points in the bag and closer to safety.
