Stifler Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 First half we didn't get going, suffered the sucker punch goal again. 2nd half we got going and got back into the game deservedly, created enough to say we were the better team. In the final 20 minutes or so we ran out of ideas, Huddersfield scored on basically one of only 3 times they got out of their own half in the 2nd half. We were poor, particularly in the 1st half but like Fulham I still don't think we deserved to lose, the opposite in fact. We showed we have enough quality, but we didn't show it enough if that makes sense. I'm not massively concerned yet, pretty sure a few teams have got off to a bad start and went on to take this league apart, Sunderland did it one time.

There were some awful performances right across the pitch, and that age old fear was back for some of them! get your head out his arse. That was fucking woeful. The best player on the pitch didn't arrive til after half time. The tactics were as Fulham....shit. Rafa should take the blame and needs to up his game or fuck off. 4,5,1 with the powerhouse Gayle almost stranded on his own. Shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just been beaten by 2 teams who were nearly relegated last year and yet in both games we have been set up negatively. I'm absolutely gobsmaked on his overall tactics and the consistent playing of players who are absolutely shit. Luckily it's only 2 games but I expect signings to be made this week and a change in tactics for the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yeah, the team was pretty much perfect given Richie being not fit enough to start. What I'm more concerned about is that 'be solid and our quality will show' isn't going to be enough, because we don't have enough quality. Hopefully a win or two will get the players believing, but at the moment they look just as nervous and static as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players executed it horrendously however. You're happy with multiple defensive midfielders and a single striker up front on the end of long balls at home to fucking Huddersfield? Honestly.

To be fair in 180 minutes so far this season he's looked like he hasn't a clue. We've looked toothless, clueless and poorly coached. How much has he spent?
