Didn't like anything about that. We defended ok but were **** everywhere else. Even the away fans were quiet, could have heard a squirrel fart at any point in the game.

Credit to Huddersfield for a lively press and being switched on all game, if only we could have done anything remotely similar. Depressingly bad performance.

I think I'm frustrated the most at the lack of change. Why in the last 15 can we not have 2 strikers on the pitch. Rusyn is 100% a wide player.

Because I thought after a good performance Saturday and what appeared to be our confidence back we would beat them

We were poor first half Saturday. Improved second half against a tired Plymouth side but on the whole we’ve been poor for a while now.

Won’t be making the play-offs.
 
****e that. Can't play like that again and expect to finish top 6.

Hope Beale digs a few of the players out in his interview because some of them should be embarrassed by that. I never like to accuse players of lack of effort but I've seen some of them run a lot harder than they did tonight, Huddersfield found it so easy to get out when we were going forward.

Worst performance of the lot was Roberts mind. I've seen Ba, Aouchiche (who seems to have been banished from the team for making a mistake despite looking good when he is on), Bennette in his 3 minutes on the pitch, Rusyn when he has played wide and now Mundle all offer so much more than Roberts.

Neil, Ekwah and Jobe all had 2/10 games. The quicker Styles is fit the better. Why not give Rigg and Aouchiche a go in midfield?

Beale is not immune to criticism though, why did we start with that weird diamond with Ba central when Beale himself said Ba struggled centrally on Saturday? Why take Rusyn off for Mundle, why not have both on or bring Hemir on?

Mundle looks good, showed some fight (needs to reign it in a touch) and for me has earned a starting spot on Saturday.

Still just 1 point outside of the playoffs though so it really isn't the end of the world, by 5pm Saturday we could easily be feeling positive again.

Not interested in the arguments and debates over things which don't matter which will come over the next few days so I'll see yous all on the Birmingham matchday thread. Play nice lads.

What you love is getting on your high horse and criticising the manager ...

.. exactly as people were predicting after you'd praised him on Saturday.

You're so predictable man.

No. I have been clear about this head coach. I don't know what people were predicting mate, I work all week and don't boss the forum.

It's ok though, you just take aim and ignore 95% of posts on this thread saying we terrible, worst ever, season poor performance etc. Go for me. The fact GA immediately liked , like he does with any L09 joke is actually reality and not predictable. Just fact. I know the cards marked but if you don't want reality, I'll skin out. Cheers.

Seems to me we tried something different for the first 20 minutes which didn't work so we changed it and the players just didn't pick the pace up.

A real curious one

I cannot understand how Bellingham gets a start .. he gave the ball away every time he was challenged. Ba was baaaah.
Patterson blew it to let them score .. but silly free kick. Poor defence, no midfield no attack no energy.

Ba was poor Saturday, paddy Roberts was good, Bellingham did well off the bench after weeks of ****e playing the whole 90, so……… what do we do? We leave the poor one on, we drop the good one and we flog the young lad for the 90, and then we’re surprised we didn’t perform. If he doesn’t sort his selection issues out we’ll lose heavily on Saturday then there’ll be the sack the manager shouts again.

No you have the platform Prehab, as you always do when we lose.

A win only merits a few brief comments.

I've leave you and Dancing Stripes to run through the usual litany of transfer window, Speakman, KLD, Mowbray being sacked, Pritchard leaving, flexibility, etc etc etc.

Sorry to have quoted you, have a great night.

Looked like a calf to me but we finished the game with 10 might be out a while with it if it’s the same as before!
