HUDDERSFIELD v FOREST - Match Thread

Hydywirralterrier, I think that was just a poor choice of words, I think ‘a more clinical team’ would have been 3-0, sums it up better. Let’s be honest that’s 2 seasons on the bounce you have beaten us at yours, that isn’t coincidence, bearing in mind we not lost 4 games away all last season. Does that make more sense to you ?

We only lost 4 away games 😡

Makes more sense Dave, good name btw

What's happened to Lolley? Has his head been turned? I do think Labi Siffre is on his last legs, and I think he'll be sacked soon.

Lolley got ‘hooked’ after 30 mins against Cardiff, I personally think he is still carrying an injury. Sabri probably has about 4 games to save his job, personally I don’t think he will survive. We are too inconsistent, we’ve had 2 decent halves of football, unfortunately they were in different games, but for that excellent save by Hamer from Ameobi, and some very questionable refereeing, in favour of both teams, the outcome may have been different. The ref last night missed 3 blatant red cards, but he wasn’t the reason we lost, a bit like you we are not clinical at the right time. Campbell for his goal, which he took really well, stood on the penalty spot unmarked for about 5 seconds, surely someone should have picked him up. Good luck for the season, with a bit of fortune and a 15 goal a season striker you’ll be ok.

Feel we have reached a real decision point with the manager. Our record spread over the latter part of last season and into this has been filthy. Rather than looking forward to match day, it always has a very flat feeling. Almost expect the worst and when we concede, l rarely expect any sort of positive reaction.
Cannot remember the last time we dominated and dictated the pace of a match. We allow teams to have too much comfortable possession.

The new player argument is acceptable up to a point, but that is little more than an excuse, when you look at our record over the last twenty matches or so - interestingly enough takes us back to the Leeds match (20 games/4 wins/7 draws/9 losses).
We were lucky only to lose by such a slim margin in the end. Lamouchi is such a nice man, that even the local press don’t like to take him to task to any great extent. In an interview yesterday, he seemed resigned to the fact that he didn’t know what else to do 😬

It all went belly-up for Lolley after we drew with Villa 5-5. Lolley destroyed them and Villa were supposed to have made a big money offer which was knocked back. I think Joe wanted to go. After that he got niggly injuries and was played when unfit. Then the failure to make the playoffs which hit him and others badly.

I don't know whether he'll recover or if he needs a new club. But he doesn't justify selection at the moment.

Lolley is a massive Villa fan, but he suffers from shin splints, apparently its the way he runs. He was always injured with us.

Shin splints are agony, I got them when I was doing a lot of road running, many years ago, but they are agony. There is only one cure, rest, but they will probably return, it’s a real shame because he is one of my favourite players, not always brilliant but always gives his best, and can score some absolute worldies.

I too suffer from them, so I feel his pain.

Dave, if you got shin splints from running you can probably confirm they were a lot more severe if you were running downhill a lot.

Just saying.
