I have to say we looked pretty ragged after their first. Once Wood came off we failed to hold the ball up and get our midfield into the game. We could ave passed that lot off the park with just a touch more composure. Barnes gave us nothing and Didcott ?

None of the 'top' sides are consistent at the moment, we just need to win on Friday and keep our noses in front.

You could tell they were going to win it once they got on top of us.
Disappointed by the poor defending & the fact we can't put a pen away.
Still didn't expect us to be top of the league in my wildest dreams & Southampton lost!

The fact that Murray was running the front line on his own for most of the game is partly why we have lost this. Huddersfields midfield were excellent, they bossed the game and roberts made calderon look like an old man with his mazzy runs down the wing. However, yet again, we have been ruined by inept officials who have given two, of which one was 110% not a free kick, in the build up to the goals and that is another factor in our defeat.
We really need a Striker at the moment, although Murray has again shown his quality today, particularly in the second half. In truth that was a poor performance by our standards, particularly when on the ball we tried to force it way too much and Kish/Bridcutt and Dicker were pretty ineffectual. It was again made apparent we need another winger to stretch things as we are having to rely to heavily on the attacking ilk of Calderon/Painter and Bennet. Ah well, we may have lost today but we are still top, I think?

One win in 6 is not great, but carry on with the ostrich approach. The bad patch is ongoing, not over, it may get worse.

At least they've got pretty much a full week of training to get us back on track.
Penalties should be part of their daily routine after the regular training sessions-every day. Missed penalties have cost us and not just the match where the penalty was missed. Bennett's miss against FCUM meant a mid week game we didn't need and that interrupted everything in the build up to this game.
Practice penalties ffs.

Brian Horton made the point on the radio that you can't just turn up and expect to play, you need to earn the right to play - I think that's spot on. I can understand why he went with Bridcutt today after Wednesday but without Sparrow we got outrun in midfield I think. The three in there are all good players but all thogether it was all a bit too similar.
That's the stuff. Bring it on. Taking my girl for her second match. Her first was the 1-1 with Bournemouth, which was a valuable insight into the agony and injustice of following a football team. Now she needs the next lesson: the joy of a thumping great win.
