| Quote: jools "Wow- stay off the lemon drops.
The reason you dropped so much ball in the second half was because you were tired and panicked. You were tired because we slaughtered you in the first half on possession and territory. Our large amount of possession and territory in the first half was not due to you turning the ball over (that was in the second half) - it was due to us keeping it and forcing repeat sets. Kicking deep and defending very well, Rapira and Johnson got quick ptbs and had your big guys back-pedalling constantly.we wore you out.. You panicked when you realised we were scrambling so well and were throwing passes that weren't on. Our youngsters stepped up to the likes of sims and Westwood and didn't allow themselves to be bullied.
Your players probably were a little off the boil- but I think we forced a lot of that by how we played in the first 20 minutes.'"
Yes your attack (Brough) was on it, but you didn't do anything special in defence, we didn't have the ball enough for you to be.
But likewise with all that pressure in our line...you scored 11.
You came out on top of 2 very bad teams that is it.

| There are only 2 players in the whole of this team that are often willing to take the ball forward with it in their hands...Sandow and Clark. The rest of the team throw it a out, hot potatoing.
Yes it's good to see the ball moved when a player is tackled occasionally, but we are constantly looking to offload when one finger gets laid on us.
Do our forwards even know what a bust or break is anymore?
I'm sick of shouting every game "run with the ball!"

How overrated is Sims? He should be playing like a man mountain, yet spends most of the game on his .

| Hudds won and they were the better team but they were the best of a bad bunch.
Did Hudds defend well? How hard is it to defend 5 drives and a kick? Ask the Wigan fans that watched Wigan almost get relegated a few seasons back.
Did Hudds attack well? One try in the first half that looked dubious, one penalty one drop goal and a sloppy defended try by Cudjoe.
Considering the time spent in our half, considering all the ball we coughed up and that was it, wasn't that great of an attacking performance tbh.
Did they deserve to win? ABSOLUTELY they did, but don't make out it was a phenomenal performance ffs, it was a dire game, played by 2 dire teams on the night.
I left early out of boredom, i rarely do that. Ive seen us hammered by Saints and stayed till the end but at least one team was entertaining on that occasion.
Awful game, glad i didn't take anyone to that as their first taster like the guy behind did with some Americans.

| There were quite a few occasions where you had shifted it and we looked done defensively but then we got back and scrambled well, there was one where Cudjoe, came out and hammered Currie, when you would have had a 3 on 1, another where Murphy stopped Evans, who looked like he only had to walk over the line, and numerous other example of good defence, Broughy and Wardle both put some shuddering hits in on your wide runners, so it's not just down to wire being pants.

Awful game? i thought it was a tremendous tussle between 2 committed teams in atrocious conditions, you must be the sort of fan who only thinks 44-36 games are exciting?
Dubious try in the first half? how was it dubious? Centre draws the defence and throws a superb one handed pass to winger who dives over.
Sloppy defended try? maybe, but what about good angled running by the 2nd rower to create the gap for the centre to power through?
We all have different views but yours just come across as sour grapes really.

| Not sour grapes, i like tight games, i don't like games that look like they should be contested on a pitch in a park on a wet Sunday in front of 5 people and a dog

| I would say the most deserving team won last night, but will the last two losses provide the necessary kick up the Wire's collective booty ?

I assume he meant the two consecutive losses.
I would be interested to see our stats on how we back up wins against Wigan, I always seem to remember us beating them but then losing our next game or two, and it has happened again.
Next two weeks are huge, it's not inconceivable for us to lose both and be out of the top three/four.
With a full squad/Sandow fit we will be there or there abouts.

| It's all very disappointing. I was starting to think we were the real deal after the Wigan game but not now, not without Sandow.

Oh wow. I think this highlights JUST HOW BAD Huddersfield must have been so far this year if their fans thought the game was good.
That game was dire and not just because we lost. I'd have died of boredom if it had of gone on any longer and we still wouldn't have scored.
I've been racking my brains and I genuinely can't remember a worse game served up in recent years by two SL sides.
I'm disappointed but I'm also over the game now. I'm very concerned at our lack of creativity without Sandow though. Also that we still appear unable to play smart in conditions like last night. All well and good playing good dry weather football but come GF in October its invariably crap weather.
