They are hardly a struggling team. Solid mid table team who had a number of players who were in the prem two seasons a go with them. When they were in the prem we were in league 2 and yet despite the team and Robins doing a fantastic job of getting into the championship some people still think we should be a top table championship side

Well I don't think we should be top of the championship, and I do think robins has done a remarkable job at city, but Huddersfield were poor and there passing , especially a cross the back was particularly bad even with one up front and not pressing them to hard they made mistake after mistake.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but Biamous chance actually went in, their defender kicked it out of the goal onto the post.

Based on my opinion, we were the home team and should have tried to win a game against another struggling team.

At what point this season have Huddersfield been struggling? They seem a mid-table team that must still have hopes of play offs.

Can't definitively say the whole ball has crossed the line from that picture.

Anyone seen a picture from the goal line itself. Looks to be over the line in this picture.

Judging by the picture Biamou has the best view of anyone and he didn’t complain.

But if he'd been a "proper striker" he would have done? ;-)

They've got goal-line tech in the Championship anyway so it definitely didn't

That can't be right, because as certain posters will tell you, a decent forward would have scored that

Last six matches city 4th Huddersfield 11th on current form, not saying it's a bad point but think we could have been more proactive against them to take all the points.

I think it made sense to be cautious considering the volume of games we’ve played with a small squad.

Goal-line technology fail! Hawk-Eye apologise after stunning incident denies Sheffield United

Hawk-Eye have apologised after goal-line technology failed to award Sheffield United a goal during their clash with Aston Villa on the Premier League's return.

Although personally I didn’t think it was over and the pic above is inconclusive. Max would’ve gone mad if it was over anyway.

I think you're slightly over estimating us, under no circumstances are Huddersfield a shit team, and were not exactly promotion candidates ourselves, frankly credit to the lads that they have hit an 8 game unbeaten run. In the Championship, thats phenominal.

It really did seem like it did. But none of the replays on the footage were side on. Ridiculous for this day and age in championship.

I'm not complaining about the un beaten run, long may it continue, but at some point we have to target games to take 3 points from, and Huddersfield at home has to be one of those games.
If we had gone for the win and ended up with a point, that would be acceptable. But to play 90 minutes without even looking to put them under any kind of pressure is totally rediculous. Even with 15 or 20 minutes to go we could of had a go.
But no, we meekly limp to a boring 0-0.
Thank god we didnt have to see it in person.

If we had had the courage to go and try to beat them, we'd be level with them on points.
They are hardly different class.

Looks like it did, I can’t understand why there was no one else following up they must have seen Dabo getting goal side ready to cross there was no one near Max.

As far as I'm aware that's the only time it's ever gotten a decision wrong and it was due to the random chance that all of the cameras used were obscured. That's wasn't the case last night so I'd be very confident it didn't go in.

One of the drawbacks of playing one up top.

If you remember how there were 2 strikers scrambling for the ball vs Norwich away last minute. Inside the 6 yard box.

And vs Derby same.

Yeah, realise it was an unusual set of circumstances, but shows the tech is not infallible. Do agree it didn’t cross the line.

If someone would have said 8 games ago that we would remain unbeaten for the next 8 games what would you have said to them?

I think 5-3-2 or some variant of that is our ‘go for the win’ side but I didn’t think it was necessary to do that on Wednesday. Biamou offered more in the lone striker role than Walker so that sub made sense, the latter seems to be a poacher who does best feeding off chances with a strike partner.

Tomorrow I think we’ll see 2 up top because of the numbers we’re missing in midfield
