After the abject performance witnessed down at the John Smith’s a fortnight ago, the victory in Yorkshire derby over Sheffield Wednesday was a key one and, without worrying about relegation too early on, a result that could possibly define our season. The stats were there for all to see pre-game and Simon Thomas and his … Continue reading
How not to defend from a set piece – by Huddersfield Town.
With the rain lashing down on a dismal and cold November evening, droves of Huddersfield Town fans headed to the exits with Birmingham scoring a third goal. Who could blame them either; this was a performance that was gutless, toothless and just damn right awful. I was one of those who decided enough was enough; … Continue reading
Price of Football: Do Town really offer the cheapest match day?!
If you aren’t completely oblivious to the BBC Sport website or Twitter you will know that Huddersfield Town were named for the second season in a row as providing the “cheapest match day experience”. Once again it shows how much Huddersfield Town do under Dean Hoyle to keep in touch with the fans. However, it … Continue reading
Are “floating fans” being alienated by Huddersfield Town?
I suppose this blog will polarise fans. The season ticket holders will support the club in rewarding them for buying a season ticket, whilst the non-season ticket holder will no doubt feel a bit like I do, alienated by Huddesfield Town. This isn’t a blog having a go at the club more holding the club … Continue reading
Stead’s signing shows we’re building a squad, not just a team
The reaction of some Town fans yesterday when it was announced that Jon Stead would be returning to his hometown club, was one that surprised me. There was negativity and an alarming sense of pessimism, especially as Stead is the only recognised first team striker on our books. My questions to those is, why are … Continue reading
Thank you Mark Lillis
In three weeks one man has given his heart and soul to Huddersfield Town and for that I am eternally grateful to Mark Lillis. I am far too young to remember Lillis as a player, but I remember him being a firm favourite with my late Father and his passion for this club is something … Continue reading
TOWN WON!!! Huddersfield Town 1-0 Crystal Palace
Two and a half months without a win, abject performances, a managerial departure and the slide towards the relegation zone. That was all forgotten at 9.45pm on Wednesday as Mark Lillis did what Simon Grayson had failed to do in the last 12 league games, by winning. It’s hard to fathom how a side goes … Continue reading
Back to basics: Town 1-1 Leicester
If ever we had to justify sacking Simon Grayson, yesterday’s result did so. From the poor performances and hoofball of the past months under Grayson to a simple passing game that involved patience, ball retention and movement, in 48 hours caretaker boss Mark Lillis seemed to have reinvigorated the squad. It wasn’t as if it … Continue reading
Who should be the next Huddersfield Town manager?
So 24 hours has passed since Simon Grayson was told to shut that door (sorry I couldn’t resist) and the attention now turns to who should should be Huddersfield Towns next manager. Let’s face it all the fans want to see is some decent football, a bit of fight and consolidation in the Championship. For … Continue reading
Simon Grayson sacked: Why he had to go
Not even six years ago I was sat in a ICT lesson at high school when I noticed on the BBC website that fans favourite Peter Jackson had been sacked. Back then before the world of social media, other fans weren’t commenting on your team without knowing the full story and managers had less pressure … Continue reading
