    You're only as good as your forwards. And ours are sh*t.

    I like their centre half big strong and good on the ball

    No attacking ideas,and no pace,especially second half.DMH looked a lot better than Ishmael,but I though Watt was largely anonymous.Thanks to Huddersfield for bringing us the match for free.I thought the camera work was good,but we won't mention the commentator.

    Town might just be a Championship team but their team today was largely a Championship's team's development squad; the sort of U23 team we'd expect to be playing in the Carabao competition.

    Ibrahim Diarra - 17 year old from France and a member of Town's development squad. I agree with you; he looks a real prospect.

    The lad Rowe looks like the sort of athletic player we need at RWB

    Well when you speak to people who find every negative they can about everything. There were plenty of positives in that performance yes we need a little bit more but I wonder what other league two sides who are suffering heavy defeats think. It wasn’t great second half and we still need a leat a couple more players but we will be alright

    This why barring one person understood Jay Spearing would have been a perfect signing for us.

    Let's be honest though we have lacked leadership since Rupp and Edin walked through the down.

    Are we all at a point now to understand that Rupp is as bad as Edin?

    A bit of a stretch but case in point is Man City under Pep and Barcelona. They are elite teams and not to compare but even if they lost the ball and couldn’t win it back they would take the foul and then re-group. We are not even cute enough to do that. If we want to play possession football we have to expect to lose it at this level with our quality so we have to be cuter with that side of our game

    absolutely right mate, it scares me that given the position stu played in his own career he doesn't seem to be addressing it.

    If we played four teams from lower leagues and won them all would you be raving about the season ahead? Talking about our impressive winning streak?

    Yeah great as long as we score at least 1 more than our opponents, we'd all go for that......

    we played a championship reserve team the other day and didn't lay a glove on them in the second half.

    a loss is a loss and creates a losing mentality - which is running through the club and into some fans who are willing to accept whatever they are given as long as it's McCall giving it to them.

    That was absolutely not the opinion of the majority of our fans last year...

    So why is a relegated team expected to lose by a 4 goal margin (who are widely backed to win the league) yet against the same team a 1 goal loss is pandemonium for us!? Bonkers if you ask me.
