Dan Robin Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hudds dominated in the 2nd half but somehow...we won! Fingers crossed for Rowe. Link to comment
Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Up to 8th 3 points off play offs unbelievable. Link to comment

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. Or you could say it was our best defensive 45 minutes of the season, given that Huddersfield must have had 80% possession... Link to comment
Alex_BCFC Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Oh for a couple of midfielders who can actually hold the ball and control the play. Walsh and Williams? If they aren’t the answer then we will continue to struggle in games like that. Link to comment
cityexile Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Without Fammy’s goals we would be looking screwed. Link to comment
Denbury Red Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 That was probably one of the worst second half performances, tactically, I’ve seen for ages - even for City! The match stats were embarrassing! Hudderfield must be gutted to have not got anything from the game! Link to comment

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... Norwich. Link to comment

DT The Optimist Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Reminded me of the early season when we were duffed up good and proper and Bents saved us but we still walked off with the three points.... like everyone delighted with 3 points, but did we ride our luck.... they looked very decent Link to comment
eardun Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 3 points behind Bournemouth in the play offs. Imagine where we’ll be when we turn it on! To be fair, at the start of the season who would have thought we’d be starting with a central midfield partnership of Vyner and Bakinson - youngsters keeping us in contention and hopefully players like Pato and even Williams will be available to challenge shortly.

Capman Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Over half way through the season and 3 points off play offs. With the injuries we have had seems a reasonable outcome. Link to comment
WECANDO Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 We just retreat so far towards our goal which lets them come onto us. So lucky not to concede 2 or 3 there. No idea why we brought on Martin at a time we need everyone to work their balls off. He's to slow and just ambles about. Prefer Edwards who has pace and can close down their defenders. Defend from the front. Link to comment
desert Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Shameful second half display - how can Holden begin to justify that utterly dreadful embarrassing performance. ps yes I know we won - but I have no pride in a team that wins like that - we were completely dominated for an hour and had simply nothing to offer except a good goalkeeper. Awful, horrible to watch. Link to comment
Northern Red Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 We win and it was crap enough for the moans to be justified. Everyone's a winner! Link to comment

robin_unreliant Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 That was an awful, anti-football hour after we went two up. Deano should be ashamed of that negative rubbish. Link to comment

It's never a good defensive display when you constantly give the ball back to the opposition to have another go, and they got ball into the box *so* easily. Lucky we got decent centre backs and goalie. Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Enjoyed the first half, enjoyed the result. 2nd half- we had to absorb so much, possibly should have shifted to 3 in CM earlier. Great result, shame about the injury- much to work on still from 2nd half. Huddersfield are and have been a strongly possession first side- Corberan learnt under Bielsa and getting some tips (possibly loanees off him too)- element of mates rates again, but that's football. There is power to add- Mawson has retutned, the talk of Sessegnon, Williams, Paterson also returning? Plenty more still unavailable...let's hope Rowe isn't out long! Link to comment
