One of our most frustrating wins

[1973Blade]

I'm usually a happy clapper, but that second half performance annoyed me. At half time I was confident we would go in to get a second and it would be a comfortable end to the game. The problem is the players thought the same! So slow and giving the ball away. Huddersfield were poor and still didn't create any chances (credit to our centre halves). At least we get our first home win against Huddersfield since October 2000.

Good win today , second half not great , minutes to Berg - Mcburnie and thought Kadra played ok
End of season when we get promoted , 3 points is 3 points , nobody’s going to be saying remember when we played shite and beat Uddersfield ( who I fucking detest ) and can’t say I’ve seen a good game against em
Ohh and Reading don’t like them fuckers either

It was a little annoying knowing another goal would have put us top. But I'm well happy with the 3 points, especially with their chance right at the end. It would have been typical of us to concede.

True and we're definitely in the top two over Christmas!

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Look on the positives. We won a game after an international break. Proper footie's back. No-one got injured.

We can go top tomorrow instead.

 

[Bladesman]

We could have upped the tempo and put the game to bed but we didn't seem fussed about doing it. Take the foot off the gas at 3-0 not 1-0.

Anyway a win is a win. 3 points in the bag and I think our players survived?

 

[Stretch]

The first half annoyed me almost as much as the 2nd, not quite, but almost. We were great up until the penalty area, and then seemed to get a nosebleed.
Ndaye and McAtee were trying, but there was far too much backward passing and taking the safe option.

The 2nd half was one of those 2nd half performances which we put on occasionally, which convinces me that they spend the HT break downing a few shots with a pint chaser. Absolutely shocking.

But hey, wins after any international break are hard to come by for us, so I'll take this one, however it came.

 

[Katzenjammer]

We were fucking somnambulant today, good job they're shite or we would've been turned over by a quasi-decent side.

Moreover, it's mad to think that I was there last time we beat them at home, it was a night match if I recall accurately. I was 15 years old, doing work experience, and All Saints had just released 'Black Coffee', reyt choon.

 

[SwissBlade]

Like a friendly second half. Just ticked along giving a few lads a run out

There were a few times when a quick ball out of defence would have left N'Diaye one on one with their big donkey centre half, but we seemed reluctant to do it.
At times it was more a case of let them set up their defence and we'll use it as a training exercise to try and break them down.

Yes, just like an amble in the park. Then cacking your pants when you're almost home.

 

[boss hog]

Easy win once we scored their plan a b and c was up the spout,3 pts move on.

 

[BushBlade]

Yes, just like an amble in the park. Then cacking your pants when you're almost home.

Not quite but it was certainly a turtle’s head finish; straight into the toilet without even shutting the door, dropping your trou and sitting down in one simultaneous motion.

Probably the best type of game for first game back on a cold December Saturday. You wouldn’t want an end to end battle today. Ease back in with perhaps the easiest fought 3 points in a while

 

[Mike325]

First game back and we win and keep a clean sheet for me that’s what today we’re all about

 

[HD8 Blades]

Glad I wasn’t a neutral watching that. Average v dogshit. Average edged it

 

[robbiez666]

Jeez, people need to remember we've not played for 4 weeks. No one is match sharp or match fit. In many ways it's like starting again. Takes some time to get back up to speed.

Happy Clapper? Wasn't you doing the praying was it?

Love a win.

100% - think back to watford away

 

[Caveblade]

First game back, players coming back from injury, clean sheet and 3 points. Take it and move on.

Today we’re all about the result.today we’re a must win game not from a points required point of view for top 2 etc on last match but for that winning feeling.

Yes you want to see good performances you wanna see the team play good football but today clean sheet and three points oh and billy scoring and nydiaye involved all fucking day long

 

[Iceybabey]

I was annoyed, but I saw it coming. Said to my brother before 1st half ended, we need a second because we'll be shite 2nd half.

Lo and behold.....

 

[Boxer Blade]

Obviously take the three points, obviously take not conceding a goal, but the performance against a side who were absolutely fucking shit,
The second half performance was poor, we should have battered them ,they will,I think big up there performance and thought they could have got a point,I don't.

Best analysis of the game I have read that mate

 

[Houston_Blade]

We won after the break and didn’t have to play well to do so. Also, Jordan Rhodes didn’t score when he came on.

It was boring though.

Did he actually touch the ball?

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

I was fucking freezing during the second half. I was desperate for something to happen so I could jump up and get get a bit warm. By the end I was celebrating a throw in to stop my arse freezing to my seat.
