Huddersfield

[theroyal]

I think we should just focus on our games.

A few weeks ago I was being told that Leeds were the unstoppable team and we should be watching out for them.

Before that it was Reading.

Now its Huddersfield.

It's tight at the top. Let's just win 9 games.

Remember when it was Villa?

Can't help but think of the season when Reading stormed the second half of the season and finished with over 100 points. It always astonished me that so many lazy pundits were predicting Newcastle and us as nailed on certainties for promotion after Christmas. It amazes me that people with a lifetime in the game can't see past more than the few most recent results.

You're mixing two seasons up there. 2005/06 was the 106 point season, 2011/12 was the run of 15 wins in 17 games post Christmas.

And Norwich!

Er hang on, it might be Norwich again before long. Oops.

And can we remind ourselves that Huddersfield conceded two goals to Rotherham last night scoring only in stoppage time to win the game. Shall we all put everything into perspective. It's tight.

That's a decent back catalogue you have there.

OK. It's the latter charge that really worries me right now.

Huddersfield are on 10 out of 12 so far.

I really think the top 4's games against each other are going to be pivotal. Can't see Leeds or Sheffield Wed threatening but Huddersfield do look dangerous and to a lesser extent I think Reading could do something but that's much less likely. Lose against Huddersfield next Tuesday and I think that gets put to bed.

Really need them to battle for a draw on sat, then a hard replay with extra time and go out, after the lord major show effect follows..

As I have previously said, I would rather they got through and had their minds distracted by the FA Cup Quarter-Final and a possible game at Wembley. Plus, it will lead to a fixture pile-up could well hamper their progress...Hopefully.

Albion & England forever.

People are making Huddersfield sound like they are Brazil..............They are not

Their run of form is good but it's not like they are dispatching teams 4 & 5 Nil. - That 33 shots can mean anything, they could be shooting as soon as they see the slightest opening. We still have a gap and until that is eroded then the advantage is still with us

 

[Notters]

I would sooner be in our position with the fixtures to come thabn either Readings or Huddersfields

Er, Huddersfield have easier fixtures, on paper at least.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Sounds right. 1/4 on today and 4/1 Huddersfield.

Yes, this is for a top 2 finish

 

[knocky1]

Yes, this is for a top 2 finish

Yes. Albion 2-1 winners

 

[Nixonator]

Huddersfield fans staring to believe they can make the autos, their confidence is increasing.

It's the hope that kills you

I wonder what will happen when the FA decide on a touchline ban from the Leeds game?

To be fair they made us and Leeds look like very poor sides!

I think the final table will be Huddersfield top, us second, Newcastle, Norwich, Preston and Leeds playoffs.

Seven points have been eroded since we kicked off against them, you are kidding yourself if you don't see that as a very real threat. Have you seen our next three games?

They ran us completely ragged, as we did to Norwich. I am convinced that result knocked our confidence and we have looked very shakey since, Burton aside.

We need to turn it around very quickly, plenty seem to be relying on Huddersfield to falter rather than us improve.

I think Saturday will be our nemesis. If we can get anything from Barnsley it will be a big boost and I think we will push on. A loss would not be terminal, but would be a blow and a point would be ok but at least we will get something.

I know I am a boring fecker, but I think not getting a couple of decent strikers in during the window will come back to haunt us. Not impressed with the arsenal laddie but I hope I am wrong.

I'd settle for three points from our next three games, all draws, as being a good set of results given how we have been over the last month and pray that Huddersfield falter ( don't see it personally, they are on fire and scoring last minute winners when the chips are down)

Hudd will win the title with Newc second. Norwich will win the playoffs due to PL players, form and nouse from recent PL promotions.

Only one stat matters as Wagner or Hughton would emphasise - who grabbed the three points.
