Huddersfield Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[The Optimist]

Really miss Stephens.

 

[Ernest]

How many of the last 6 (six) goals we've conceded in the last 2 (two) games have been an absolute comedy of errors?

Sheffield Wednesday own goal
All 3 at Lincoln

Need to sort midfield - get Stevie on now, then decide on others later .

 

[bhawoddy]

And nor Hemed n Murray upfront either! Far too slow, why not have gone 5 in midfield !!??

if he did then he would get bashed for playing negatively.............................hughton cant win can he......

 

[albionfan37]

Utter shite from the team tonight. There are no other words to describe our performance. Get Akpom and March on asap. We desperately need some pace.

Slow and dead slow tonight I felt at 2-1 they might tire a bit but I can't see a way bk at the moment

 

[1066familyman]

The worrying thing is Van la Parra hasn't even scored yet, and he looks nailed on to prove the ex player rule here tonight

Let's hope CH can weave some magic at half time and help turn this around.

 

[Notters]

I have a hunch we will win there. Brentford have lost Hogan and are in a slump themselves. Tonight's performance feels like last season's Rotherham, after which CH got them regrouped and back on the winning run.

I don't think a 3-0 win over villa counts as a slump.

 

[Titanic]

I have a few, albeit it very reactionary, questions after that half-
...
5) Why do the players start so slowly, especially I think, in away games?
...

I ask myself no.5 every game. It seems to be a Hughton thing.

 

[perseus]

At least we are playing a good side. Second half revival?

It's the passing that is up the shit out of defence, Dunk and Pocognoli.

I would bring March on. Not so sure who should go off though? March for Murphy, Sidwell for Hemed?

Not been in such trouble since we played Derby a few seasons ago.

4-2-3-1- showing up in midfield v 4-4-2

 

[Brighton Mod]

Two very poor goalkeeping errors needs not to be ignored also.

 

[Icy Gull]

Why did the ref play more than the 2 mins of added time (their goal was 47'12)? No excuse for not blowing up when the 2 mins was up (why was it 2 mins anway? No hold ups, no subs, no trainers on pitch). That's robbed us of getting anything from this game. You'd have thought in this sodding day and age refs would have watches that work.

You didn't notice that the ref was a little biased?

 

[neilbard]

Sidwell on please and the new chap!

 

[dolphins]

Sidwell's coming on but don't know who for yet...

Edit: Kayal off...

 

[kevo]

Norwood and Murphy have been especially poor .

They are both ineffective players in my book. When was the last time Murphy had a good game? He's usually just totally invisible. Norwood too.

 

[JCL666]

In a 442 we are so reliant on the midfield pair but Kayal has been shocking and Norwood has barely been involved.

Let's see what happens now.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I reckon we'll come out flying. Score. Fade. Then Hudds will score THREE more.

6-2

They just beat Villa 3-0. And they have our arch enemy- pace.

Completely outplayed Villa this week.

 

[banjo]

Sidwell on for Kayal.

 

[brakespear]

sidwell on for kayal.
