The game at their place will be one for Barnes then 😬

Seriously though, something we will have to get used to dealing with. Under VAR there is so little of that now in the PL because some camera picks it up and let’s the ref know.

 

I’d like it if he puts one on that centre half that did Gallagher. It was the sort of foul you used to see in amateur football years ago but very rarely in modern pro football with TV cameras. The linesman must have had his eyes painted on, he should have been watching for stuff like that. Their bloke picked on the right guy in Gallagher, he’s a big soft lad who wouldn’t have retaliated even if he could.

H'field's manager resigned a couple of weeks ago. They are a club in crisis. Winning 1-0 there is like winning at Padiham.

They’re going to do a Barnsley if they’re not careful. The midfield lad they sold to Forest was the best midfielder in the league for me last season

Yeah, have to say Huddersfield looked really, really poor. Even with their "better" second half performance they still only had two shots the entire match and not a single shot on target. At home that is pitiful regardless of the opponent. 

Can't read too much into first day results but the signs aren't good for them.

I think they will suffer hangover there after playoff final failure. Plus a change of head coach.

Said we are top of the league said we are …

Only managed to see short highlights so far but from what I’ve heard and the stats it sounds like we absolutely dominated them. 70% possession, 16 shots and 5 on target to their 2 shots and none on target. I guess a fair complaint would be we only scored one and on another day could easily have dropped points having been in total control.

Of course every game won’t be like that but it’s nice to start with a win. On to Luton next. I’ll be watching out for how you do against QPR. 

You were good in the first half. Second half you play the situation and stop Huddersfield from coming alot more into the game after short good spell for them

How come no one warned me how truly s**t the EFL highlights program is?

Yeah, but you don’t have to look at/listen to Danny Murphy…

No countdown since you last beat us? 12 years, 4 months and 4 days if anyone was wondering 😬 - be over 12 1/2 years by the time we play leg one o’t crapico.

[longsiders1882]

On a different note, I’ve now seen extended highlights of the game - as in a full recording 😂. Cullen looks like some player. Assuming that isn’t a one off I’m amazed we got him for around 3 million. I feel more hopeful now we could be in and around the shake up at the end of the season.

We should do a 'time elapsed since last major trophy' counter of the clubs involved in't crapico.

I thought that after 15 mins.  The 2 in midfield will be pivotal, Cork and Brownhill...both quality at this level

That was a good time to play Hudds just like QPR at home was a good starter for us.  Let’s wait and see what happens in a month or two.

Why are we and Blackpool not ahead of Burnley in the table. Surely alphabetical order dictates that.

Behind them on away goals scored as per the EFL Regulations below:

9.2  If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored.

9.3 If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs then the highest placed Club shall be determined by reference to the following criteria, in the order prescribed:

 9.3.1  number of wins;

 9.3.2  goals scored in away games; or

 9.3.3  in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 9.4.

Goal difference, then goals scored, then number of fingers, then alphabetical order.

It's changed from alphabetical, to who has scored most away goals

It’s just to acclimatise you to what’s coming the rest of the season 😬

[longsiders1882]

Am I correct in thinking you have a player called Hedges? Which would mean if we complete this winger signing the crapico could recreate a classic Mike Bassett moment and have Benson & Hedges on the pitch 😂
