We are far better. Why he is he a dinosaur ? What on earth are you talking about. Ignorant fans is our problem. 

Do explain how we are better?

Why the *uck was Martin on for 90 when fresh legs of Conway may have perked things up

[Curr Avon]

Half time

Full time

We scored from 1 of our 13 shots in the second half. Huddersfield scored from 2 of their 4 in the same period.

Thought we were very poor in the first half and at the start of the second. At 1-3 they were always going to use every trick in the book to waste time and slow it down. The ref was poor throughout. He didn’t intervene at all meaning their frustrating time wasting went unpunished. However, I’m not blaming the ref for our overall poor performance. 
We were second best and they deserved to win.

Doh!!!

Weird, I was just thinking during the game I remember first game of the season 67-68, played HT FC  at home scored after TWO minuets, lost 3-2...........nothing changes !

[Gazred]

Another frustrating watch. Huddersfield your average Championship side but yet again we make things difficult for ourselves. We are our own worst enemy at times.

All managers have players they regard as undroppable regardless of performance. Martin just happens to be Nigel's.

[ralphindevon]

Overall didn't play too bad but that defensive set up is an accident waiting to happen.

Oh for gods sake. Fans gave him some earlier for an incident, he gives some back and then some precious little idiots decide to to throw things. Don’t give it out if you can’t take it.

And played straight into their hands, took our momentum out the game and wasted a load of time. Brain dead idiots

Perhaps a bit unfair, we were ok in the first half, arguably quite comfortable at times. Shit defending left us on the back foot.

Agreed, two kids at wing back and guess where Huddersfield destroyed us………..

[Curr Avon]

What was our formation when Pring came on for Atkinson, because we looked a lot better.

[shelts]

Please don’t call Nigel a dinosaur as it makes you one of our uneducated fans and people who disagree with you will call you names .

OK, so we won't be signing a striker in January who will challenge him?

[ralphindevon]

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the pass checks getting in were a breeze. 

Don't think I broke stride, almost waived through and no security checks 

[BcfcRed3]

Let’s be honest, what manager is going to get anymore out of this useless shite we’ve got right now. Embarrassing.

[HappyClapper]

 Lots of knee jerk bed wetting on here as usual. There were a number of bright spots today. Go in at ht 1-1 no doubt Huddersfield deserved to be level. Quick goal after half time looked offside, Scott got caught out. Semenyo hits the post, they go down the other end and score with the help of a lucky deflection on the cross. We show some character and throw everything at them and get a deserved goal back but too late. 
Obviously some defensive errors but lots to be encouraged by. Semenyo probably had his best game in a city shirt. Benarous trying to drag us back into it at the end. Massengo with a committed all action performance.

Lots more attacking intent today. Obviously need to tighten up and no doubt that will be a frustration to Pearson and the coaching team as much as to anyone else.

No one wins every game, especially not us, but I think there was lots to build on in that performance.

Shame our so called fans have cost us vital time that never got added on. 

That was the ref. Not to excuse fans' behavior, but an appalling ref.

[Greedo]

Agree fans shouldn’t be chucking shit at Huddersfield players. 
 

They should be chucking shit at our players.

The Scott at RWB experiment has definitely run its course.  Looks like he needs to be rested for a few games before coming back to play in midfield.  I though Benarous did okay but don’t understand why he was picked in front of Pring, who looked good when he came on.

I would prefer a felt back four with Tanner and Pring either side of Kalas and Atkinson.  I would drop both Martin and Vyner and play 5 across midfield with AS up front.

They got exactly what was deserved, nothing

So is Vyner the scapegoat when Bakinson is on the bench?

Vyner was back defending his box, you cant just go diving in and you can't prevent every pass. There was much worse defending for the goal than vyner.

Vyner’s no scapegoat; he’s just shit and nowhere near good enough for this level.

Agreed. Laughable....another group of employees taking SL for a ride.

Oh well....a fool and his money are easily parted....

........totally let down by SL. 

 

Yes let's go back to the old ground as it was.

Let's get rid of the income from hospitality and let's go back to training at the BOCM ground on the Portway.

Agree the the ref was shit, but had our super fans not been ***** then we would not have lost momentum and the added time would not been required

We scored from 1 of our 13 shots in the second half. Huddersfield scored from 2 of their 4 in the same period.

17 shots and 6 on target shows our highest numbers for those stats this season. However, bar Weimanns 2nd minute goal, our shots were of pretty low quality, or were speculative.

Normally we have an xG per shot of about 0.125, so our average shot has about a 12.5% chance of scoring. Today it was 8.8%. A big drop.

We went for quantity over quality today, and the Terrier's 'keeper was just about good enough to deal with it.
