We wouldnt have won a Challenge Cup tie this weekend no matter who the opposition playing as we did today. Salford beat us the other week - a sign of things to come.

Looking at the players today - has NB lost the dressing room one wonders. I know its only one game but if we play like that next week we'll get another tonking against the pies.

With regard to marketing I dont think the club can do much more - lets just face it the people of Huddersfield just cant be bothered!?. Cheap season tickets, etc etc and walking through Town today they would much rather go shopping or watch it on TV. I sell Golden Gamble tickets before the game with my seven year old son who stands with me freezing cold (it was cold today) collecting the money because we care about the club. We only come from Shipley but we still make the effort, Durham obviously comes a long way good on him as do other supporters, and people who buy golden gamble tickets care about the club - they are a quid for goodness sake but for those that buy them I salute you - thank you.

It saddens me however that a Town with such proud sporting traditions of the past breeds such apathy.

Couple of points on this thread that deserve commenting on. You won't talk to any Wire fan who was expecting that today - we've known for a while we've had it in us & you only have to look at Lee Briers pulling out the bag of tricks in the 2nd half to appreciate that it was one of those special days for a rugy team where everything works. However we certainly didn't expect a performance like that against a team like the Giants & will expect a much more competitive game in a fortnight.

As has been said also, it was a game where as much as everything went right for us, nothing went right for you. Silly errors, knock-ons, missed touch, bounce of the ball & 50/50 decisions all went against you. Your players were off the boil & while you can afford to carry a couple in a game not firing on all cylinders you can't afford to have 12 or 14 having a bad day as you did today. 12 months ago Harlequins (yes Harlequins) put 60 on us at the Stoop & we moved on - same as you will move on from today. You have a rotten schedule of fixtures playing us & Wigan twice each in 4 weeks, but then us & Wigan would say the same to play you twice would be difficult games. You'll bounce back I have no doubt.

As for fans, well it was a pretty poor turnout today - 6000 with half being away fans is a pretty poor show. However scheduling a cup round the week after Magic Weekend isn't the greatest idea ever. And 20,000 at Wembley, well so what if they were glory hunters - had you won you'd be over 10k average attendance this year and at least you can fit them all into the ground! We took 30,000 and can only squeeze 14k into our ground so plenty of glory hunters there!

Good luck v pies next week & see you in a fortnight.

Salford battered us at theirs too!

Salford knew we were disrespecting them with the squad we put out and went right at us and we had no answer. That was a shocking decision by Nathan to rest the players he did, Salford are a bit of a bogey side for us as well. I was happy for Salford that day, good club and decent fans and we got exactly what we deserved. Although to be fair our support that day was great. Typical the time we get a good away following, the team cacks it's pants.

something has gone terribly wrong at Huddersfield
strangely enough since you signed a certain Danny Brough...

Bad day at the office. All those who are about to slit their wrists get a grip.

Onwards and upwards.

It's a good job Warrington didn't have a goal kicker

Top post. No-one saw that result coming today. Let's face it, Brett Hodgson wasn't fit to play and you made so many unforced errors in your own 20. You met Wire on a day when absolutely no-one would have beaten us. I did think that the problems you've had in the last couple of weeks might have an effect, but everyone from Warrington thought it would be a close game.
The only thing you can do now is to get back on the horse and give the Pies a hammering next week.

thats why bretts leaving

You can take it how you want today - but as Ive said to a mate (who might not now go down again in the foreseeable) in 62 years a fan this was as far down as Ive witnessed --even when we were struggling for survival and there were only a few more on the terraces than there were on the pitch!!

In those bad times the club and its few diehard fans were in dire straits --and the team most weeks on a hiding to nowt--but I`ll tell you summat ---they didnt throw the towel in !!

and thats what hurts --!!
If it was just today --then it could be classed as a blip !

But Salford / Edinburgh / and today have I feel been indicative of some underlying prob
Plus the errors re Hodgson`s leaving and the timing of the announcement

But what saddens me most is not missing out on another Wembley visit
Its the "manner" in how it happened --and all the other erosive events

Has it not occurred to anyone else that Nathan might be a bit "edgy" and miffed that he HAS lost his captain /man of steel. and Mr Consistent??
Might this have happened because the "1 year" deal was based not on fitness or ability but purely financial
Some of our other "strengthening" might be a little below our ambitions and his shopping list??
And as such -- he might feel that promises made when he got the job havent been fulfilled like the Whitehall mob we`ve listened to regularly lately!!

Just a thought!

A few more things sicken me!

DG and Faraway make regular trips of nigh on 200 miles to watch their team and have done for seaons
Theyre proud of their allegiance and rightly so

But in these depressed times to spend their hard earned cash travelling to Edinburgh and the Galpharm to watch PROFESSIONAL ???? sportsmen play with so little pride passion and skill is an insult to their devotion

I felt that at half time last week --we were in with a chance --not so
I felt that this week, at half time, the game was probably out of reach --a game that a trip to Wembley hinged on !
Did that not provide enough incentive to these fellas??

In a one off game like this -- what would they have to lose by coming out for the second half and throwing it about
If Wires had intercepted and scored --so be it --it couldnt have been much worse

but hell ...................give it a go and ..............and if they`d got somewhere near they might have gained some respect

Instead - it was down the middle boredom
They were playing a cup tie -on TV -and representing the claret and gold ...................................and showed as much fire and spirit as a sleeping tortoise

We were considered (by such as Phil Clarke) as a side who had raised our image and made great strides

Sadly last week and this the image was tarnished and the strides for me were backwards
and whatever the reasons , which the poor fans may never get to know,...................it sure as hell sickens me !--- probably KD----and many many others I fear!!!

This is pathetic to read, almost as pathetic as your team was today, yes TODAY.
this months a time to 'find yourself' or you could get a couple of hidings.
But jesus, you're 4th in the table, only lost a few, how on earth can the season be 'over already'.

Seriously, get a grip the lot of you.

And Whatuira better than Bridge?? please..

Simple answer - dont read it then!

Oh I found it quite amusing.
Still pathetic though.

given the number of traveling supporters, i think you are kidding yourself.

10 quid to get in, and 2 'top' SuperLeague sides playing.... your support (numbers wise) was abysmal.
