Huddersfield p2-2 LCFC - Full Time

[Getin]

Normal service resumed - embarrassed as we were last season.

[blue army 1988]

Awful penalties once again, mostly due to this ridiculous, modern, doing an entire morris dance when running up to take a penalty nonsense.

People keep mentioning Daka, are you sure he was on the pitch ?

I don`t remember seeing him

 

Made a really good defensive header from a corner, ran around abit and got easily muscled off the ball. Not alot else.

Out of all of them, Faes is one who deserves the least stick tonight 

Thankfully a small percentage of fans have a memory longer than 90 minutes though.

 

Faes is symptomatic of what is wrong here. He and Winks are supposed to be leaders in this squad and what vibe are they giving off? That the fans are mugs you can give it large to even after two relegations.

[The boy Linacre]

So at this moment in time, for stark reality, how far removed & distant are we from:

1) Beating Everton 3-1 at the KP in May 16

2) Winning the FA Cup final 4 years & 3 months ago

3) Going to Rome for the ECL semi 3 years & 3 months ago

To where we are now with the quality of players we have AND team spirit and health of the club. Stunning ineptitude & sadness.

Thing is players can’t have this attitude. They are paid a **** tonne to perform and represent this club. If they hate it that much ****ing mutually cancel contract, entitled ****ing bellends. 

Absolutely - there are bare minimum standards. I know Arteta gets stick, but you can't agrue that he hasnt got rid of their dross with a similar approach

[BeaumontFox]

Bilal’s just knocked a few mill off his price with that pen.

[oxtonfox]

Sad thing is that getting gunned in this cup reduces the chances of playing some of the youngsters in the early rounds. I suspect Martis next move will be to shore up the team with failing older players. Not great all round. 

[Number 6]

Thought we looked a bit like we were treating it as a friendly. I get that it's not a competition we were going to win, but too many people just happy to turn up and put in minimal effort today. Gonna need a decent league performance or two to settle some unease.

Don’t mind losing on penalties, but Ayew could not have made it clearer where he was putting his. It was absolutely pathetic.

 

Don’t mind a miss like BEKs and McAteer’s was just a poor effort.

 

All round crap game, which resembled two EFL plodders. 
 

They could’ve won in the 90. Wouldn’t have been unfair if they had.

 

Can’t play out from the back, don’t press particularly well, poor/lazy passing, constantly taking the safe option or running into blind alleys. Gifting the opposition chances and just generally struggling to do the basics.

 

It’s going to be a long season.

Not sure we really need to single out Ayew.

 

I mean, he hit the target which is already better than BEK.

 

Ayew hate is getting a bit boring now, especially as - whether people like it or not - he's actually one of the better players in our squad (yes worrying i know)

Just compare the crap we have on the books now. Recruitment has been absolutely terrible.

 

I’d take Maddison back whilst he’s recovering on his hospital bed than some of these pricks.

You couldn't ruin a club faster if you tried. Literally.

People want to see the young players which I get. Then they are up in arms when a side featuring a 16, 17, 20 and two 21 year olds isn't battering sides into submission. I thought there was plenty of positives I'm gutted we didn't go through as I would have loved to see this side again in Sunderland in a couple of weeks but hey ho.

The problem wasn't the youngsters though and hasn't been for years. The problem is a 25 million league two player playing alongside a 20 million Oadby Town player with an invisible 20 million striker all earning in a week double what I get in a year wandering about stinking up the place, with sideshow bob, Clueless Mcateer and Mr flash London sulky pants all coming together to produce a typical show of minimal effort, skill, and appreciation for the fans. I forgive Nelson, Monga and Alves but the rest should have been able to beat a league one reserve team having twice took the lead.

Oh dont worry mate I have a memory longer then 90 minutes, just didnt agree with a post having a dig at a player who, out of most tonight, was probably the best of a bad bunch 

Dont get me wrong, whilst Im not a fan of the way Wout has behaved, hes not a robot, hes let emotions get the best of him, as have we all at times when people around us are having a dig

Ayew is one of our better players, (low bar)yes he’s slow but at least you can see he is a footballer, some of the others i’m not sure.

How on earth have we spent so much money and ended up with such an appalling squad of players.

 

Our demise will be studied.

The answer to that my friend is -

 

Top the Nepo Baby,  allowing Teflon Jon, and we'll..  the board in general really, to continue to run all aspects of the club so  incompetentley whist in turn taking no ownership for their mistakes, and refusing to learn from said mistakes, all for say the last 5 or 6 years at least.

 

Until Top sells up and fvcks off and the new owners sack Teflon and 'Sue and the gang' we will continue along the journey of our demise  and never get any better.

No this is not a knee jerk post due to the result...the vast majority of us think the same, and tonight has just reconfirmed it.....

What the hell did he do wrong. He was our best player when came on

 

Not tonight. His attitude is terrible. It’s a disease that runs through these ****ers. We have to get rid of them and build a team around the youth 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Pre-game I wasn’t overly concerned about the result - I was more interested in our players application.

 

There are very few players tonight who should be expecting to be selected to start on Saturday. Those not regularly starting should be performing to a level that gives the manager a problem. He’s already picked his team for Preston.

 

My concern now is there is too much to do in what remains of the window. We need to get things moving asap. Get the Okoli and BEK deals done and sign a starting centre mid, 10 and centre forward. Use the loan market to then improve as many other areas in the squad as we can. 
 

That was concerning tonight.

sadly the rest of these numpties have had 40 games or more to show they’re not up to it. These lads get 1 or 2 goes and that’s it. Mess all round.

Marti’s got a job on his hands

this league will not be a walk over not for this team. Based on that showing we have a lot of problems to fix.

im hopeful it will get sorted but not 100% confident we will get promoted 

I'm 100% confident we won't get promoted.

[RowlattsFox]

I'm going with 'we lost the shootout but not the game' line....Still unbeaten in 90 mins

[Fox92]

I said pre match it would be difficult, as they’ve started well, but with that team we should have beaten them. Disappointing to be out, especially at the first hurdle and especially to a League One side.

Marti trying to get the players over to the fans at the end and Faes was straight past him down the tunnel, disappointing because some of his play was the minor positives of a lot of negatives from those around him.

Disgusting behaviour and hugely unprofessional. You can hate the fans as much as you like but to simply ignore a directive from your leader is very disrespectful, particularly in the formative stages of the relationship when you're both getting to know one another.

 

You'd hope that he'd want to make a good impression, but the key word is 'want', and maybe he has no desire to do that. It tells you a lot about his character, I hope Marti takes a hard line with him over this, completely unacceptable!
