That Was The Weekend That Was(n't)

Huddersfield Town's Great (League 1) Escape

Morning

So after this weekend's games we find ourselves exactly where we were in many respects. We have lost ground a bit on 2nd place but still in 4th place. Results were not in our favour and thats now 26 points lost from winning positions. For me it was the fact that it was the "same old story" in terms of defending a lead deep in our half. I reckon match reports on us are written in advance as there is often a high degree of predictability.
So, now the table looks like this:

Position	Team	Played	Goal Difference	Points
1-	Charlton	36	37	78
2-	Sheffield United	35	29	68
3-	Sheffield Wednesday	36	20	67
4-	Huddersfield Town	35	30	64
5-	MK Dons	35	29	62
6-	Notts County	36	8	56

So we are 4 points off second but 9 points off 7th so we should atleast make the play offs but second is still more hope than expectation. The hardest thing for me is I had previously written off second as lost but then allowed myself to believe again with the 2 points gap. I guess we should keep in the rollercoaster mood to keep hoping we can still get second, although it wont be good for any of our hearts! If its the play offs then so be it, but we are going to need to be more ruthless and stop defending so deeply.
So out of interest how many people have written off second place and how many are in the hope category?

sheer luck loui...sheer luck..

but both were playing sh-te and getting poor results when they took over ...

whereas we were losing very few and still are not even when we try very hard to..

the players at those two clubs may have responded to a new manager taking over, whereas ours have probably been busy with their agents checking out moves away or chances to get some more money out of dean hoyle, via the new man.. some probably feel that if the wait and put a bit in in the last 4/5 games they might get kept on/offered more etc..they are trying not to peak too early..

Wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference if we got him, it's down to the players not been good anough darn

Possibly Lou'

I just think he has a better manager skill,
There'd be no 'slacking' that's for sure.

Jk, you have to put your personal issues to one side for the good of your buddies, and HTAFC..

Yes of course J Ko .. Silly me .. .. What was I thinking of ..

It's that kind of 'self interest' thinking that makes me think you'd make a good Tory MP.

Any chance of finding out how the neat formatting was done on this article? Is there an article from the admins with instructions or anything?
