Huddersfield Town (A) - Match Thread

[Chelmofox]

Nacho doing what he normally does when he starts. Brain dead to take the shot there when the winger is running in unmarked. Hopefully Enzo tears him a new one at half time and he comes out better. 
 

Hudders defended well. One of these chances taken would have knocked the stuffing out of them.

Don’t know why I came to check this thread. Just as embarrassing as last Sunday.

 

This place gets worse by the day!

Gonna need a link for the second half pls

are people hating on praet just because he missed that chance? 
 

He’s made a few decent runs that have been ignored. Seems to be doing alright to me 🤷‍♂️

It’s because he is shite, always has been.

They expended huge amounts of energy in the first 30 mins. Can see late goals for us here. Patience needed.

 

That said, Praet looks knackered already and has been poor, needs to come off. Ndidi on. 
 

Wanya looking technically good, but poor decision making. 

Wanya struggling I think.

[foxfanazer]

I've never seen a worse side for decision making. It beggars belief at times

[J.Lisemore]

Attack for defence for the majority, to be expected. Confident we'll break them down in the end

There's just no movement off the ball in the final third

This, the space has been there for runs in behind. We either don’t make the run or when the run is made me ignore the pass to retain the ball.

[Jattdogg]

No ideas in the final third.

 

Dont feel comfy with us passsing around at the back with faes and vesty. 

 

Game is there though, got to take the shot and not allow hudders to flood us out.

Looks to me like we are planning on a strong finish against a tired Huddersfield. We are making them run themselves into the ground. Their closing down has been great so far but there is no way they continue to do that for the full 100 minutes. 

That's exactly it. They've put in amazing effort and I think a lot of teams will watch this and might replicate it. But they are already tiring and it's only going to get worse for them.

 

That said you can see the quality gaps in our team. Maresca wants an Attacking Midfielder and more wingers. And in this half you can see exactly why!

[Jaspa]

Welcome back to the Championship, truly. Typical Warnock game; they're grafting, leaving bits on us in the 50/50's and playing the ref(their fans know this too) - we've to keep our discipline as we've already picked up a soft yellow card on KDH.

 

Thing is we've had clear chances, if we score the game completely changes and we'd find far more space to attack in.

 

Frustrating, need the lads to be savvy here and take their chances.

They’ll get there, it’s a very new approach.

[foxes_rule1978]

Sloppy at both ends from us, need to tighten up at the back and be quicker moving the ball forward.

Annoyingly I think Wanya has been ok. He has taken on a man and started an attack a few times. 

And then killed the attack by turning back or lacking confidence. 

 

He's got into space which is of course good, but then I'd like to see him driving into the box more

Yeah it's just decision making isn't it? 

 

Seems to be a few players culpable. Wanya one other but I'll give him a bit of leeway because of his age/inexperience.

 

Just expect to be more clinical with our experience and quality on the pitch. Like that Praet chance. 

Wanya getting into some good spaces and before half time beat his man twice but then seems to lose the confidence to play the simple pass or ball across the box.

 

He looks really talented but needs to be more decisive. Hopefully it'll come with experience. 

[Paninistickers]

Interesting to see if we can cope with a bit of a conundrum here. 

 

I was worried at KO about omitting Wilf. We need some positions ready for a battle. 

 

The young lad is a waste of selection, as was Macateer last week. Take him off, get Wilf on. Not oversold on Mavdidi either ATM

 

We may need Hamza and Marc to come on and get some serious running in.

I heard totalsportek works sometimes.

Just got to be patient. It’ll come.

We've got some proper weird fans man.

We got in behind several times. Just wasted every opportunity

Enzo must see something in Vester, christ knows what.

Crazy. What a poor defensive showing so far. Vesty is just too slow and positionally poor. Faes is a ticking time bomb. They are not Soyuncu or Evans. They are not Souttar either.

[lgfualol]

Mavididi should play closer to Nacho, not using him enough

I'm not sure it has anything to do with the approach though. There's simple 4 yard layoffs that we're not taking. We make such hard work of simple scenarios

I like him. He’s technically better than McAteer. He made a pretty obvious mistake in that 4v1 break but he doesn’t shrink or shy away from it after his mistakes. Involved in pretty much everything good we did. 
 

Still need more wide players, but he’s okay as backup IMO, and offers more than McAteer.
