Huddersfield Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

Not having seen the goal yet I can only guess it was a lapse of concentration, failing to pick up players, no closing down?

They went to sleep at corner like we did vs Newcastle

How many times...

Totally agree with PW...not matter how we played if loosing to Huddersfield is OK then we can give up hopes of the premiership and become the next coventry.

Getting a touch of déjŕ vu - create several chances, fail to put them away, lapse of concentration at a set piece, lose the game, drop two places down the league. By the sound of it on balance of play we deserved at least a point, but if you miss chances at one end and fuck up at the other you end up getting exactly what you deserve.

Very much in the game for much of it, though Huddersfield stepped it up in 2nd half and we do have several players missing.   Still very worrying that heads drop when we go behind.

Disappointing for the little run to end.  Due to injuries, no one on the bench to change things.

We lack a strong forward. Kodjia is skilful but sometimes you need a big unit to outmuscle one dimensional defenders. Obviously, Rudy Gestede was the exception to the rule.

Think back to the Brizzle game. If they took their chances, the two shots that his the bar - they win.

The better team on the day will take their chances. Banal, plain and simple.

I did think we'd lose this, but from the posts on here it sounded like we had the best of the first half, plenty of chances. Also sounds like the squad is still mentally fragile. They should come on a bootcamp to Queensland - eat some kangaroo bollocks and drink some tins of concrete

Eh?

[LukeJames]

Over the 2 games against Huddersfield they've had 15 minutes maximum were by they were on top and yet they've taken 4 points. Probably says as much about their mentality as it does about ours.

Eh?

Did they not hit the woodwork twice before we went on to brush them aside or am I thinking of another game?

[clash city rocker]

Does Bruce and the coaching staff ( yes I know.. fuckin coaching staff) explain that if we go behind we are quite within our rights to bust a gut and try and salvage a result.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's now impossible for us to win the league unless Newcastle receive a points deduction. I think we're leaving it a tad late for second place as well.

Trust in teammates' abilities goes a long way.
