You realise we aren’t playing 4 at the back?

We are playing a defensive system with far deeper wing backs and I’d guess have far less possession than we had when we were shipping goals every week. Text robins and tell him to be more exciting if you want to lose every week and be patted on the head by the opposition admiring our plucky performance

Allen has played well, why would we sub him at half time

Walker needs support up front. We need to take a player off to replace him with someone else. Who else would you recommend ?

That counter was sexy shame Hamer couldn’t get it on target

Keep it tight like we generally have so far, can go 2 up top later on if needed.

Sheaf commits the cardinal sin of putting in one or two dodgy passes per game which is what most people remember. Aside from that he’s usually pretty solid.

got to agree, be great to have two up top but we're struggling a bit in the middle as it is.

Effectively true in all fairness... The wing backs are deeper more often today allowing Huddersfield to make strides due to a narrow midfield ... Wing backs need to press higher imo

Suspect that’s more down to the glaring absence of Kelly

G is calling this a strength after previously writing off 5 at the back as suicide. Just funny watching the mental gymnastics

Yup and Huddersfield look a decent side, especially Pipa the right back. He looks very decent.

Counter attacking is fine, we just need to make sure we make the chances count. Huddersfield are definitely more physical than us and are winning too many second balls, but I think we have done okay so far.

The funny thing is he doesn't do that and he'll be called sideways Sheaf.

Decent performance so far but no bite in final third. Hudders' reasonable but no very threatening unless we give away the chances - as we did do! they pack midfield so difficult to bring on a striker. We need to get Dabo and Mccallum in play more. can't see Hudders' energy keeping up second half which may see us start getting more opportunities.

Be a hell of a player with more aggression, which I think is what's slightly holding him back, been a bit underwhelming last couple matches... But I can see the ability

The main danger is if our midfield get pushed back and sit too close to the defence. One deflection and it can cause problems. Hamer. O'Hare and McCallum most likely to lead our breakaways. MR won't change it I don;t think (unless we go behind) but Walker needs some support'

literally you need to look at your comments - we’d have had zero chance against a team like this a few weeks ago - we now aren’t being thrashed every week and go into the last stages of games with a chance - compare this half to the half against Watford when we looked like conceding every two minutes but you’d rate that as a better 45 minutes
