Far better today despite the result

[Rodley]

A couple of sloppy moments and a stroke of luck for them by getting away with a foul for the winner. Far more menace from us, more balls into the box and more chances. Thought we were much the better side.

We clearly need 2 or 3 in, but that looked much improved. Let’s see whether Slav sticks with a back 5 or reverts to a back 4 once he’s got some of his own personnel in the building.

By the time we stablize,we should be in League 2

We played better but the limitations of the setup were apparent. Painfully reliant on crosses into the box.

I’m sorry but there was nothing positive to take from today!
It was an all round substandard show from front to back again, how can it be anything else to anyone who witnessed that

I honestly dont believe we'll get anyone in, will be the same old responce that the market was tough, we really tried, the players we wanted wasnt available.

Sad state of affairs, time for the old guard to step aside as there's no confidence from last season.

Imperative the board gets 2-3 in now. Otherwise we’ll wallow in mid table.

I would bite your hand off now for mid table.

Always the way without a number 10, but I think we carved out enough chances to put them away.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

My thoughts..
Dominated the game and never seem to get those lucky breaks, and haven’t for about 18 months, so seeing a pattern here.
We won a lot of the ball but are way too slow to take advantage.
We slow it down and give defenses time to get organized and are left with a hopeful and usually wasted cross as the only outlet.
Need some speed in midfield and fast.
We are considered a major scalp and every team is fired up to take us on.
Huddersfield to their credit never gave up and got the lucky breaks they needed. Other than that they looked very ordinary.
The ref was awful again as well. Let the early niggly crap go on for way too long.
Shocking end to the game though. A kick in the nads but that’s what this league is all about. We’d better wake up and quick.

Even if you think we didn't play well, Davies and RND were a huge positive. Night and day from Robinson and Osborn.

 

[JoeG]

Only reason we looked better today was because we were playing significantly worse opposition

 

[Lowen]

Yes we played well (kind of) and yes we dominated the game but we’re at home to Huddersfield so of course we did, we saw what happened when the opposition are actually decent. Different game if we score first but we are totally incapable of doing that. These 4-5 signings have to be special for us to have any chance of promotion.

Jesus, it would be pretty hard not to improve on that 0-4 drubbing. Still p*ss poor. Our expensive manager can't get a tune out of em. Depressing.

Agreed there were green shoots there but the old guard still need to be cut away and we still need 5 in which is a massive ask with under 2 weeks of the window left

 

[A Storm of Blades]

In isolation there may be something to work with, but after 18 months of utter shit, it’s hard to not see it in that context. We never look like scoring and haven’t for well over a year.

 

[raimond]

At least we looked like we had an idea. I reckon for 65 minutes it looked better than it has- Bash, Brewster, Berge, Davies and Norrington Davies better.
Then Berge gave it away to give them a chance, his head went down and he hid, others started to gave it away and the wheels all bloody fell off. I don't really understand what the f*** happened in that last 25 minutes but everyone's heads went. Til then, I agree, it looked a bit better.

Completely agree Yogi - we need some major transfer movement from the board this week. ultimately we need to go through the disruption / pain of a major team overhaul.

Totally agree.

Mid Table?

We are in a relegation scrap

Davies missing on both goals and N-Davies had the same end product as Osborn!
From what we were to what we are is night and day!
Seen it all before and this squad is shit

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Totally agree.

Agree and still they beat us. LOL

 

[bromtom]

Can't believe how many people were in suspended animation for the last 12 months.

Automatic promotion after last season? Would be a miracle.

Playoffs, we'd have done very well.

We're trying to get to a point where we have a stable platform to improve from.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Head scratcher for me. Better than WBA (but the bar was low). They were poor, and we deserved something, but that midfield again!!!

Positives - Basham, Davies, Baldock.

Negatives - Norwood, Fleck, McBurnie

And such weak refereeing. Their GK got away with murder, took 86 minutes to book him.

The dice definitely aren't rolling for us at the moment.

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Are we still significantly above the pigs?

Agree…the irony was we showed signs of the Wilder promotion season.
Although to be fair I think Huddersfield looked really poor….easily the worse team we’ve played this season.

Davies got flattened from behind before the second goal had reached the assister, so bit harsh.

Also, first game in fuck knows how long, better than Robinson by a mile.

Got to give them a chance to get there, too many Blades with serious entitlement, we were fucking dogshit last season, historically bad, you can't flick a switch and go back to being decent. It's going to be a bit of a slog.
