v Huddersfield Town (h) - 5/11/22

[Polky]

Not the best performance, but it’s three points at the end of the day.

I wonder if JDT will rest a few on Wednesday for the big game on Sunday?

im`e struggling to see anything in him that suggests he`s even a lower league player,looks totally out of his depth whenever he`s appeared,to me he looks like a production line academy product who looks great in the non contact world of the u23`s but when it comes to proper football he`s just not cut out for it

That's what we said about BBD.

Not pretty at times however 3 points another clean sheet and we consolidate second spot.

I had someone behind me today moaning "yes i know we keep winning but its not great to watch" no pleasing some folk

You (or them sitting behind you anyway) can not convince me that watching a winning performance is not enjoyable.

Football is a competitive sport first and foremost; entertainment second.

amazing decision to replace Hedges unless he had an injury.  

A few minutes before he came off he had a quick word with JDT - I assumed he was saying that he needed to come off. It’s hardly surprised that the two players who were touch and go to be fit, him and Gallagher, came off.

Went today and took my Dad as the tickets were priced appropriately for once, can only say Diaz is this team

Looks like the flight path of one of Ayala’s clearances.

I think the second we drew a PL team away our cup run was over. We've been using the competition as a chance to play our second XI, I don't think he'll change from that plan.

We are second in the league.  Please remember that simple fact.

Incredible harsh on Vale. He has ability, has proved that for the U23 and in pre-season. Would've probably benefitted being on loan this season. Today the major problem is shutting up shop and sitting so deep. There is no support and chance of retrieving the ball when the rest of the team is parked in our box. Same with Dack last game. Showed some good touches today, but I agree could've pressured harder.

The higlights from pre-season shows he has some ability.

Nice reminder 🙂 Consider myself a positive fan, but admit the win felt a bit deflated due to shutting up shop so early. Thought the team looked coherent and in control and needless to give away the initative with what obvious a tactical decision. 

It's amazing to be top two at this stage, far beyond my expectations.

massive difference between friendlies,u23 football compared to full on competetive football league,tyler magliore looked useful in friendlies and now he can`t even get in northamptons first 11,vale very much like him imo

I thought he did ok when he came on other than he could have put himself about a lot more than he did given he was fresh and everybody else had played for 70 minutes.

 We’ve also lost 100% of the 8 games gone behind in so the tactics are still up for scrutiny. 

That's a whole different tactic. Those games have nothing to do with shutting up shop/holding out for the points. That wasn't an option, because we were behind. So far, JDT and the team have a 100% record at holding onto leads and getting three points. Whether that lasts is another question. I share everyone's concern that we'll be punished for it eventually. However, at the moment, it's hard to argue with success.

If we were playing like it I would be over the moon. As it is only another 14 points to the magical 50 and theoretical safety.

You could say the same about Adam Wharton. But you have to be given the opertunity to show if you are good enough

If we’re 1-0 up at the Dingle dome and attempt to defend the lead for 30 minutes I’ll have a heart attack.

Believe me i have seen some utter shit, and that today wasn't it.

[Exiled in Toronto]

I’m not sure I understand why Sam Allardyce (35% win record) is venerated for his ability to grind out results whereas JDT (64% win record) is lucky, naive, still learning, suicidal etc etc

Our back 5, when we defend a lead, is as strong a line up as I can remember - hardly a mistake in them. The way we seamlessly switch formation to defend a lead shows how well drilled everyone is. Even Kaminski, with his amateur Sunday league coach, is miles better this season. 14 leads seen through to 14 wins is a staggering statistic.
