Not seen such Bravery!
The fixture computer was way kinder to them than us for the start of the season.

Are Hudds the next Leicester?

I'd much prefer to have our 0 points than their 6 points
Keeps us under the radar
We've played 2 teams who recently won the prem title
They've played last seasons and this seasons relegation fodder
And a promoted side from the championship who've spent less than us and Hudds

Great start, there's no denying it. But they've just played a Championship club today, and a Championship club in waiting. You couldn't have wished for a gentler start to the Premier League.
I slashd my wrists earlier, but now I've changd my mind. Any advic

Can only tell after six or seven games if they will be consistent, though they do play with more confidence than us at the moment.
We seem to have 'rabbit in the headlights' syndrome.
Maybe their gamble will pay off as I expect their only priority, like ours, is not to get relegated.

It's irrelevant really, the real question is how many points will we get from the Palace and Newcastle games.

Have you gone completely insane? Two games in and they've played a Palace side who are probably going to be in a relegation battle with us, and a Championship side that hasn't strengthened.
Whereas we have played the favourites for the title and a Leicester side who won the damn thing two seasons ago and finished in the last eight of the Champions League last season.
They virtually completed all of their transfer business before kicking a ball in the Premier League, we on the other hand are still trying to get deals over the line. Get a feckin grip man.

if the fixtures had been reversed and we had played palace and nufc and Hudds played City and Leics, then I don't believe Hudds would have any points either.
However, I am afraid I don't think we would have six points.......

It's going to be interesting to see how the philosophies of Wagner and Hughton do this season. Wagner plays high tempo football with no fear and will not sit back and I imagine we will set up not to lose and try and grab something on the break, going totally defensive if we score, regardless who we are playing.
At the moment it's much more fun being a Hudds fan but it's only two games and didn't their style of football give them a negative goal difference last season? As I say, it's going to be interesting to see how we both cope this season. I dare say they will be much more entertaining than us all season.
Once we have a decent striker I'll back us to finish above them, if we don't get one then I suggest they will do better than us but will not set the division alight for much longer.

I have them down as being like Blackpool were a few years back. They'll play some lovely football, win a fair few games, become many people's second team but ultimately struggle. They don't have a big squad, they play at a high tempo which will take it's toll and if last year is anything to go by they are streaky. I imagine at the higher level the winning streaks will be shorter than the losing streaks.
Personally, I hope they stay up, so long as it's not at our expense.

I can see nothing other than a return to the Huddersfield of the 1920s. A hat-trick of titles awaits them.

And there is the difference from Wagner to Hughton, No fear.
Yup. Get your keyboard repaired as your letter 'E' is buggered.
Despite the obvious (my typing badly for comedy effect) . . . you don't know how right you are..... never let others use your laptop when they are more used to a 1950s style typewriter keyboard . . . . my poor little vaio has been Traumatised. The 'e' is now glued back in place and is as reliable as Buckley's hamstring

This feels like 2016/17 all over again with 'who plays who and when'.
But so far they've played two easy games and next up is Southampton (H) momentum means a win. West Ham (A) should trouble them as it's the Hammers home debut this season. Leicester (H) will be their first test but Burnley (A) who knows. Spurs (H) will be their downfall and should they come away from Swansea with anything then it hits the wall. Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Everton, Brighton & Chelsea are 7 of the next 9.

So much bullshit on this thread, but this is classic:
And as far as I can remember, I don't recall Wagner's side grabbing the game by the throat at the Amex last year - in fact they lost 1-0 and even Wigan showed more adventure than they did. Let's see how Huddersfield set up against Manchester City and us against Newcastle eh?
The real issue is that some of our players (new and old) just aren't firing yet. Propper has been poor, Ryan questionable, Stephens looks out of his depth (hopefully temporarily), Gross has regressed since the pre-season games and so on - but it is important to see that we've only played TWO games, one of those against the champions elect, the other was away to a possible top ten side. Way too early too be drawing daft conclusions such as "Hughton's side play with fear, unlike Wagner's". As I say, a big well done to Huddersfield for a fantastic start for them, but let's wait until they get properly spanked and see what happens then.
I thought the difference was about 13 points?
