Robbored Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It's good to see no knee jerk reactions- so far anyway. Two very tough matches in 48hrs stretched the squad to far imo.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 In a sense this defeat might prove to be an important marker in our season. It signals the end of an exhilarating period in our recent history and a chance to take stock, learn and move on. I don’t sense any complacency in this team but if there was even a hint of it, it’s gone now. And if there was any doubt that we need new recruits, this settles the issue. Plus best of all - none of our closest rivals won today. If we’d claimed a credible draw and Derby and Cardiff had both won, we’d be worse off.

Brizzol Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We got so much more out of Reid when Diedhiou was playing. When we get him back it will be like a new signing. Today was horrible to watch but fingers crossed that was just a little blip. Two very hard games in the space of 48 hours was always going to be difficult. Like others have said the kids need a shot at Watford as we're in dire need of a rest. Great season so far though and still safely inside the top 6. Onwards and upwards.

The Enormous Turnip Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It is what it is, another defeat at the end of one hell of a run! Thankfully - Cardiff lost again (their FOURTH in a row - perspective!) and both Leeds and Sheffield Utd only gained 1 point on us over these two defeats. We're still in a fantastic position, deep breaths all around and enjoy the 12 days until our next league game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to rest players so a weakened team against Watford is a must, we then have Man City both these games will likely be losses, just hope it's by small margins. Winning is a habit, but so is losing, and I really don't want to see all the hard work and effort the guys have put in start to unravel.

cidered abroad Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 One walloping doesn't make a team a bad team. Conversely getting last minute winners doesn't make us a wonder team. I have seen eight promotions in my time supporting City and without consulting the record books, it was rare for any of them to escape at least one poor result, en route to automatic promotion. It's a setback, but not the end of the world. How we recover against Norwich will give us a better view of where we are going this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Injuries and tiredness were always going to be a problem with the number of games, despite that, the lads have done us proud, love Bobby to bits but he is not and never has been strong enough to be isolated up front, Leko and Woodrow are not worth any wage, not good enough as starters or subs! Taylor shows promise, but he has not improved on his div1 performance. Engval has suffered a recent dip in form but we need a front player at least until our injured forwards are match fit SL has said no spending spree, so send the wasters back, sell the also rans and pursue loans that are good enough to start and ease some of the pressure on the first team regulars! And what about our u23’s and loaned out players? Surely we have a few that can be given a chance! Cotts stupidly had little faith in them, time for our progressive management to show some faith and ease some pressure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Huddersfield were hammered by fellow play-off contenders Fulham, at Fulham, 5:0 last October. And Fulham beat them 4:1 in the return. They were also well beaten by us, here, and we were not headed for the top 6. They finished the season with a -2 GD, losing 15 times (but only drawing 6. I believe LJ is going out to avoid drawing too many games). Huddersfield played three play-off matches, incidentally, including one hour of extra time, scored one goal, didn't win (or lose) one of them and now sit 11th in the PL. All that matters now, is how we respond to today, and Wolves, and this might include how we go about this transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we have just scored one at those times it could have beeen so different. We rest up and move on. We are still only two points off automatic promotion.
