Huddersfield Town & Lee Clark

[JBizzle]

Sorry if someone has already done this somewhere, but I was hugely impressed with Huddersfield and Lee Clark. Overall, what a class act the players, fans and manager were today and put Southampton to shame by embracing the spirit of the event and giving us the Guard of Honour and warm applause.

Lee Clark - Thanks for being a top sport and I genuinely wish the club and their fans the best for the rest of the season

As for the game, what an advert for this league. Sure, we didn't win but I actually enjoyed the spectacle, the atmosphere and most importantly, Gary Hart.

Right now, despite todays result, I could not be more proud to be a Brighton fan. Roll on next year!

I think they are actually a better side than we are - If they do manage to get through the playoffs as it's looking increasing likely that will have to be the case - then i think we'll struggle to kep pace with them next season. Gus needs to work his magic to get at least 5 new players in with the quality required - Can't wait for next seqason.

It didn't look like that today.

Can you explain how they are a better side then us? We're the Champions of League One. We've been the most consistent team in this division. We've were unbeaten at home for a year, but lost that against Scumhampton when we were already crowned Champions. Today we had all the procession, we created all the chances and ok we should of defended better espically for the first and their winning goal. But the job is done, we're going to the Championship next season into the Amex. So please explain to me, why you think they're a better side then us?

Huddersfield looked very average today.

Huddersfield looked very average today.

I disagree. I thought Afobe was a class act and although defensive mistakes led to their goals they still took their chances well & deserve to be where they are. I agree with the OP btw, although hope they get pipped by someone else because I could see them being a threat next season

Really, i don't agree with them at all. We made a couple of mistakes to give them goals. Greer was at fault for the first getting turned too easily because he hasn't played in a while and the second looked to be a mistake from Calderon but couldn't see clearly. We dominated most of the game and apart from their goals i can only remember them having 1 clear cut chance that fell to Roberts. We created a lot and with Murray there we would have put a few more away

Thought their manager was class today, he took time to applaud the south stand on his way passed & shook hands with our players, Adkins could learn a lot from Huddersfield, good luck to them.

Fair play to him, I'm glad to see Clarky getting some praise as he is a top bloke I reckon!

Apart from the fact that they were very clinical with their chances, I thought Hudders were pretty average. We dominated the majority of the game and should have got at least a draw.

correct mate. a month ago they would of gone home with their asses kicked,fair play to clarke for doing things the right way, even though he thinks they deserved all 3 points!

And we looked strictly mid-table. Same as we have done for three matches now.

Time to draw a veil swiftly over this season methinks.

 

[Acetripper]

Yeah!.. We're a really 'average' team. HELLO! We're 24 unbeaten FFS? AND we've just beaten the League One Champions on their own patch!

Okay today was your celebration day! Well done B&HA! League One Champions and moving to a brand new 'state of the art' home with over 18,000 season cards sold. Brilliant!

So why the coolness about us? You dominated - you where at home. Okay?... 'the double' over the run away League One Champions has to count for something surly?

No? Suit yourselves!

 

[Foolg]

I know it's based on just two performances, but i thought Saints look streets ahead of the Huddersfield performance today. They looked alright, but then that's not difficult when you look at 90% of the dross that turned up to Withdean most weeks this season.
Never be able to truly tell, as you could see the team didn't really care, which isn't suprising.

2nd goal was a shocker from calde

He just about walked off in disgust with himself. Was visibly shaken. Fuckit tho, he's hauled our balls out of the fire often enough over the course of the season and and is WELL in credit!

as you say you did the double and the only team to do so. i wish you and hufc all the best and hope a miracle happens and you do it without the playoffs. no one likes losing and when you see your team lose again in the 89 minute it is a bit gutting, but fair play you took your chances we did not and in fairness to you we were much better today than against scc

 

[grummitts gloves]

Lee Clarke and the Terriers fans were top drawer today. A big thank you to them for taking part in the occasion. Footballing wise, they are a solid team, but not the best, hence the league doesn't lie. Over the season, we were the most skillfull, Saints the most skillfull/physical. Huddersfield will need to invest in more Championship quality players than any other team who goes up this season. But I would say they deserve it more than any other team currently in the play offs. Good luck to you

 

[Hornblower]

I was disappointed with Huddersfield today, I was expecting a much tougher game, I still don't know how we lost. We had so much possession and looked very dangerous around their box but couldn't quite find the end product. Calde cost us a goal and if the ref had given us the foul we were due for OGH being dragged down then they probably wouldn't have scored the third goal. If we'd had Murray we'd have romped it.

 

[big nuts]

The fans and Clark were superior to our South Coast counterparts, however the Saints looked a class above them on the pitch.

I thought Southampton employed the right tactics to beat us. They pressed high up the pitch and played at a high tempo. Huddersfield beat us fair and square, however apart from their two goal striker and their right back who was superb today they didn't look great. I thought we bossed the game and apart from defensive lapses we would of won comfortably.
