Huddersfield Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Tell me about it. I had those wankers behind me at an Ingerlund game. Fucking drums and trumpets.

Maybe we should try it, along with bonding in a remote Scandinavian forest this summer, as it appears to work for them.

Not many comments on here from those that went to the game last night. Here's the view from a Huddersfield forum, most seem to think we deserved at least a point, our fans were the noisiest there this season. More positive than some posts on here.

I also thought this thread was interesting, Worst Game of Football this Season.

Brucie will turn Kodjia into the new George Donis before hes finished

What, that Blackburn chump?

Not sure how anyone can come to that view after seeing Kodjia take out three players with one move which led to Angie's swinger off the bar - would have been goal of the season (after Andre's effort last week).

I hope Huddersfield go up so we don't have to listen to that fucking drum next year. Plastic twats had a loud hailer too.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. This Saturday we have visiting fans who have a drum and trumpets.  Suggestions please as to what should be done with the rough end of a ragman's trumpet.

I hope our stewards take those offensive weapons off the w@@k$&

On the basis that Huddersfield only allow flags into the ground if they've been checked a minimum of one-day before the game even though they have a fire certificate sewn into them (how that's meant to work for away fans I really don't know!) then I think we should burn Wednesday's drum outside the Witton Lane entrance.

We're taking a long time to gel but someone's due a tonking soon!!!

Huddersfield didn't look any better than us, which is encouraging to a point.

However, we do continue to play pedestrian football, and give the ball away far too many times - our possession was poor last night.

Too many hopeful balls, too little inter-play ... we aren't playing to anywhere near our capacity, given the talent we have for this level ... on to the next one. It's a hard league, and will be again next season ... need the balance between creativity on the ball and being hard to beat.

I agree the ball retention is still rubbish, but there are encouraging signs:
- energy levels and closing-down efforts were good last night
- we are creating chances
- the MF players are getting into goal scoring positions
- 4 games and only 1 goal conceded
- Johnstone looked much more dynamic last night

Last night we played a team that seemed determined to wind our players up at every opportunity with hard challenges and argy-bargy; we also had a ref that was poor, IMHO. And we had a bench that didn't offer much in the way of alternatives.

It's been a horrible season and we'll be much better equipped to deal with it next season.

Found a lot of the posts on here to be overly negative about last night, seems that frustrations about the way the season has gone are overtaking people's ability to see game from game our improvements.

Cant understand why people still make comments like "oh god we can't even beat Huddersfield". Before the newcastle game they won 6 on the bounce, are third in the league and have one of the best managers. If we can't get over the realisation that we are in this league and expect to win just because we are playing championship team then obviously you're going to be very disappointed.

Created chances last night, and should have scored but were slightly unlucky with the woodwork. Yes we should have put one of them away but at least we are now creating chances in every game, and midfielders are contributing fully to the attack, something which wasn't happening until recently. In response to the fixation that we have a 'soft mentality', I think that is a very harsh criticism tonight. Nobody who saw that can say our players didn't try after we went a goal down. For me the most unfortunate thing was that having 10 players out injured, we had no options on the bench to bring fresh legs on to attack, and the ones who were on had played 4 games in 10 days or something, so has to be some consideration given to this.

It seems we are improving, the defence has shored up massively, 1 goal in 4 games tells its own story. Again frustration that it came from a mistake, but those mistakes are getting fewer and fewer, a couple weeks ago it was constant ping pong in our box so lets actually mark the improvements we see rather than a constant moan every time we lose a game.

This season has been a shock and disappointment, probably the biggest of all the recent ones we've had to put up with, but we have a team that now seem to be slowly gelling so lets see what happens shall we. Hopefully we can carry our improved performances into results and some momentum for next season.

Corey thats a great post, pretty much sums up how I feel, your not on your own.

Bring on Sheffield Wednesday,UTV!

My thoughts on last night can be encapsulated in the rhetorical question: how on earth are Huddersfield 20-odd points better offer than us?

Of course we all know the answers from a Villa perspective, but there wasn't much of a difference on yesterday's showing.  On another day we might have easily got at least the draw.  Definitely some positives to be taken, even if the goal that beat us was a poor one defensively.

Word on the street is that the fuckers have acquired the services of an octet for strings and winds for the occasion, and will chime out with chamber music at inappropriate moments to disturb our rhythm.

Whenever I try and play a bit of Schubert on the old Bose  my dog Frabbo,  a german shepherd with very strong opinions about such matters,  howls like a wolf until it is taken off.
