Have been disappointed with Yunus so far, but he's been good today. Pleased to see him contributing

Come on Yunus, get a goal. Nice and tidy but needs that output..

Statistically we’ve got one of the best defences this league has ever seen.

I think that says more about the league than our defence to be honest. Meaning if we concede the same amount of opportunities in the Premier League we'd concede 3/4 times more.

 

I don't see dramatic improvements from last season once the pressure is put on, but the combination of heinous finishing in this league and teams being too timid to attack (because our attack is always better than theirs) makes our defence look, on paper, to be amongst the best in Europe.

Callum Doyle, it could’ve been you 

[weller54]

Need another to be sure 😎

The Strange thing is that I don’t feel like Huddersfield have made a  ton of mistakes, there’s just a massive gulf in class between the two teams..

I know what you’re saying we will need upgrades. We can only play what is in front us us though.

Let's worry about the Premier League in the summer. Meanwhile let's enjoy our time in the championship!

Cannon has slotted in nicely today, 2 well taken goals.

 

Title is on.

Best defence in the league, but ok

Like I replied previously, I think that says more about the league.

 

Not that we won't make enough adjustments to go along with promotion confidence to still level up next season.

Sure. I am doing 👍

Yunus has been very tidy today, just needs some output.

I still struggle with Matt Elliot's Scottish accent.

Yes, it is not enough to say that we have a great defence because we have conceded fewest. That only tells half the story.   Often teams park the bus against us and concede possession.  The result is that they are often less ambitious offensively and our defence is not tested.  On occasion, when we are tested, it is reasonable to be concerned that we have looked vulnerable.
