I know our season is in our own hands, but interesting to see what 361 make of each teams run-in.

Helped by players not feigning injury every time they got tackled. Players not leaving legs dangling to turn legit tackles into fouls. And players who stayed on their feet when they could. Also, no fear of sky analysing every ref error, and blaming refs
not the cheats, when they are caught out...
Drives me mad. Seems no one on Talk Sport (I know, serves me right) can get through a sentence without sighing and saying "Look..." as if they are the source of all knowledge explaining to a simpleton. So bloody patronising/aggressive. I now find I actually have to turn the radio off. I think it...
Showed again how to play against us. Close us down. Be physical. Load up midfield. Pacey striker to pin back four deeper.
Reading did none of that. Huddersfield did all of it. Results were plain to see.
Reading go one nil up early on. Shut up shop.
Huddersfield go flat out to get an equaliser and pick up an injury to Izzy Brown as they strain every sinew (literally and metaphorically).
Reading handling the pressure but taking a battering.
Bookings on both sides as Hudds press and Reading...
No Stephens, no Baldock (no one pushing them back), unfit Kayal taken off at half time, Norwood a waste of space, Dunk sent off 2/3 of the way through. Not a typical day at the office for us up there. Not sure I judge what will happen next on that line-up/performance.
Hughton interview after the game - Solly doesn't respond well to man marking, but benefited when the game opened up in the second half. That will be the challenge he faces when making the step up to Prem football (which he will, hopefully with us)
