Huddersfield are, not so sure about the Toon.

Possibly because both were in The Championship last season . It has to be said that Hudderfield have played 1 of the favorites for relegation and a promoted side as opposed to us playing a title favorite and recent title winner.

Not sure, they played Palace, who've been awful for a few seasons. Newcastle from last season. We had title favourites and Leicester who only recently won the league and not so much struggled last season...
My pain lies with how we've performed

Are you suggesting that you're not depressed normally? Given your posts, I'm not convinced...
But why? We have had more time than Hudds to recruit players and we have the same amount of money yet we look so under prepared by comparison. Suggests our recruitment team leaves something to be desired.

Because they are playing each other, and were both in the championship last season? We've just played two recent champions of England.

Look at their opposition so far and then look at ours and it will give you the biggest part of the answer.

What game are you watching both teams look very vulnerable at the back and would be eaten alive by the quality of striker we have faced in our opening games.

Mounie looks a real handful.

Disagree with this bit, were only two games in which makes it impossible to judge who has done a better job at recruiting.

Surely the quality of what your up against makes a big difference. Title favourites and title winners of 2 seasons ago.
Huddersfield look like the Huddersfield from last year to me. Pressing well and doing what they do best. Added a decent striker in there as well who has pace and power. But they have done it V Palace and now Newcastle.
Newcastle don't look like they have improved much either tbh but defo have players with PL experience which helps a bit but their defeat v Spurs wasn't much different to ours v City.

Yes he does, and most importantly someone who is going to score goals regularly. That could be the all important factor teams such as ours come the end of the season.
Because neither of them are playing Man. City or Leicester.

What nonsense. Ten man Newcastle played the best striker in the league with having two defenders going off injured after 15 mins and kept him out.
