Huddersfield Town at home match day thread

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Ashton Gate is the least hostile ground in the league. I'm genuinely amazed there was aggro as most of the ground sit on their ass in silence all game. Teams love playing here.

Is that an attempt to excuse their behaviour? Pathetic morons who should never set foot in Ashton Gate again.

If you read my other comments instead of jumping the gun you would see

I go to matches and know what I’m watching and what squad we are working with. I assume you were there today given all the stuff you are coming out with. Did we or did we not create enough chances to win the game today?

No we did not create enough chances to winbthe game. You have to defend to win games and no matter how many we create the opposition will normally get more!

For accuracy, 9 goals and 8 points. Not great, but the last 6 matches have been 2-2-2.

Fair enough mate I was going from memory, obviously not what it used to be! :laugh:

Nothing makes it ok - if ref doesn't do anything then so what? It’s not hard to resist throwing anything at a player. 

Look at my later post. It’s game management rather than a ref trying to make it all about him. Easily preventable.

You are very easily pleased or believe the hype! The last 8 games have seen us score 7 goals and get 4 or 5  points, that's from a possible 24! Goal threat don't make me laugh. Defensively we have been poor for a year or more and show no signs of improvement. The manager has yet to prove he knows what he is doing especially with the set up and subs today!

In the last 8 games we have managed to get 8 points and score 9 goals. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your uninformed rants.

City 8 off target 

Passes City 408 hudd 351

Plus xG 1.45 for City, 1.8 (0.8 of which is the penalty) for Huddersfield.

We created plenty today.

A simple glance at recent results would show that is bobbins.

It isn't great, but lets not start straying into Gas levels of exaggeration.

Blocked I would think.

Never known any team win a game on chances created, goals count nothing else 

[ProfitInMyPocket]

We have robbed teams on the road for years. It happens to us once and we all wet our nappies. We attacked fairly well today and actually created chances for once! I'll take the positives and hope we can bring back the defensive sturdiness we had in the last couple of home games back with that attacking intent we shown today.

Throwing things at players, throwing toys out of pram.

Goals happen because of the things a team does or doesn't do on the pitch. They are the ultimate derivative statistic, and so the likelihood of them happening can be derived through looking at the other, underlying, statistics. So no, they aren't the only thing that counts.

Ps. Your earlier post saying we have scored 7 and taken 4 or 5 points from the last 8 games is utterly wrong. We've taken 8 points and scored 9.

One of them must've been Kalas's thunderbolt carefully aimed at the bloke sat about one-third of the way up in the Atyeo.

I wasn't aware blocked shots were counted (separately). But I think Semenyo probably had 3 blocked on his own, so sounds like you're right.

A 10 year old kid threw a couple of emply plastic (PLASTIC!!!) bottles & you lot act like it was the blitz? Christ alive, get over yourselves ffs. Fanny mentality, god help us, your great grandad didnt die for this shite.

More than one projectile was thrown and I'm prepared to bet that some of the throwers were not 10 years old. 

What did it achieve - apart from making us look a bit sub-normal - nothing. Long stoppage which was not reflected in the time added on thereby robbing us of time we needed to try to get back in the game. An incoming fine on City which will mean the club has less money. 

It wasn't big or clever. It was, dare I say it, Gas type small-time wankinesse.

Based on today's game and putting the result to one side how many of the Huddersfield players would you sign based on their individual performance?

Oh stop it. You and your facts getting in the way.

However we were awful for a long period in the middle to go all hung ho at the end to try and salvage a point  

I guess statistics only convey a partial message after all  

Just for giggles how many shots did we have after we were three down?

Of course but you still have to watch the game and say what you see. If your world means win = brilliant performance and lose = shit performance regardless of what actually happened on the pitch then it's a strange way of looking at things imo. We created plenty of chances, that is a fact and you'll have to trust me on that as you have stated you didn't go today.

14 players, the coaches, the physio and the Manager.

Oh and don’t forget the owner, we don’t want our owner anymore either.

It's always interesting to take a step back and think were you beaten by better individuals or is it down to players not trying, tactics or just unlucky on the day. Repeat the process after every defeat and you normally see a pattern to base your opinion on whether the players individually aren't good enough or if it's down to lack of confidence or the manager.
