"Best team we've played so far"

[herecomesaregular]

So said two Guess fans on the bus.
Particularly as I didn't feel we played that well.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Hudds fans! Bloody auto correct

 

[Munchkin]

They must have played some terrible teams then. Thought we were distinctly average at best.

 

[Munkfish]

Mental we were solid at the back but piss poor going forward.

I'm just 'guesting' here..but are you referring to Huddersfield fans talking about Brighton?

Edit...ah you got there

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

There keeper mugged himself off.
Throwing one in after wasting time from the first minute ��

 

[BrianWade4]

We weren't that good tonight

Nice to see their time wasting from the 30th minute backfire.....

Of course they will say that after their first defeat.

Once they have played 23 games, it will be interesting to see if we rank in top 8 of teams they have played so far.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

We were poor tonight. We were lucky they came for a draw.
Even luckier their keeper was such a calamity.

It must be me but I thought that we played quite well tonight as we looked very strong at the back and very good in central midfield although a little lacking up front and out wide with AK playing in an unusual position. We missed his attacking influence from wide cutting in and taking on defenders. We looked solid and more like a team again.

Thus far, they have played....Brentford ( beat us )...Newcastle ( beat us )....Villa ( started well ).....Barnsley ( started like a house on fire )....Wolves.... and Leeds.

One could argue that they played Toon, Wolves and Villa 'at the right time' before they'd settled as teams. Barnsley look like a 'win or lose' type of team, which is perfect opposition for a team set up the way that Hudds are and Leeds are shite.
Having said that I think Hudds are more than decent and credit to them for a great start. 5th-8th is their likely finishing position. They need more creativity and attacking intent to finish at the top end of that range though.

Have to agree, being clinical in the last third worries me. The spine looked good Dunk & Duffy assured, Stephens and Kayal dominate - thought Mooy played well for them. Patches of good play.
Not a poor performance for me though.

Better performance tonight , but still opposition seem to have a lot of space in Midfield for one player to dictate . last night it was uncle fester lookalike (Mooy i believe ) and on Sat it was the Ginger from Brentford . Don't think Knocky works as number 10 as he is more effective coming in from wing . For all his faults ,would like to see Elvis come on for longer than 15 mins to see if he can create something with his pace, but i fear his game is about knocking over the top for him to run onto ,and the better teams in this league will suss that .

Totally agree with this. After a string of disappointing performances we finally turned up for once. We had hustle, a decent tempo and really looked up for it. Given Hudds excellent start to the season we were never likely to have too many chances but we did create a couple against a very decent side who had set themselves up to frustrate us.

For the first time in a while we actually looked like a team tonight.

For me the Huddersfield issue will be when they have injuries and suspensions. I don't think their squad could cope with too many injuries. The seemed quite one dimensional but very disciplined and organised

We certainly looked better last night than on Saturday. The defence looked a lot better as it looks like Duffy has adapted himself to our style of play and there wasn't that gaping hole in the right side of our defence. Stockdale (of whom I'm NOT the number 1 fan) looked a bit better. Midfield looked pretty solid with Stephens back alongside Beram Kayal. Just the fact that we don't have a number 10 type to complement Hemed. Knockaert was a little wasted there (although he did all that was asked of him) as he's better cutting in from the wing as has been said above. I do wonder if Elvis could be that player - he's certainly bloody quick. Or perhaps Solly when he's 100% fit. Perhaps Saturday WAS just a collective bad day at the office

The performance was good given Huddersfield's current record though good be a lot better and needs to be if we are to pick up from here. We did have a couple of liabilities , Bong & Skalak, both really need to up their game. Dunk had to cover both his and the LB position on far too many occasions. people mention Manu and maybe playing the long ball and how that is easy to cope with, well it depends how well it is done, pace of the attack and the delivery from the back. Elvis certainly has pace & Dunk showed what an excellent passer of the ball he is so perhaps we have 2 of the 3 points.

Elvis did well for the time that he was on the pitch, getting a corner when we needed time. Hopefully he will continue to develop.
