Huddersfield (H) build up & match thread and post match recriminations

[Fredo]

Would we have scored today without the defensive mistake for our first? Who knows, but it was another laboured performance until then. Grab the 3 points and move on.

Second half we were fluent I'd say. A bit tentative in the first but that's understandable.

A lot of doom and gloom and frustration at the moment but we are on a good way as long as we cut the mistakes out.

Thank **** for that second half. Let's hope this is a nice starting point for Sturridge, as a natural goal scorer could make such a difference to our side.

[Buzzo]

Despite all the goals he’s scored, he’s really starting to test my patience with the chances he wastes. We just got gifted a good shot at 3 points and now we’re ****ed.

Yeah, his 9 goals in 14 games are really testing my patience as well. When is Salah going to start contributing?

[Tee]

Clean sheet

Thank. ****. For. That.

[fidget]

Half time team talk paid off.
Onwards and upwards.

[rodo]

that first half but second was more like it a bit of purpose instead of sideways backwards sideways

[Slinky Skills]

Pleased with the win, time to kick on and move forward.

[SB]

Yeah very laboured first half without looking in danger but the 2nd half was so much better. Klavan did ok but the back 5 weren’t tested really. I thought Milner did ok & his set piece play was top notch. Happy that Sturidge finally got his 100th goal so keep them coming Dan.

[Kenneth]

He did the dance too, albeit somewhat half-heartedly

[Fosterbloke]

It wasn't a great first half performance but the second half had us going back to last season with more direct balls to midfield and quick transitions to attack.

The Echo had Moreno as a 5/10 but I thought he did well as did Gomez.

Firmino was buzzing today, I wish he was central though.

Yeah I thought Moreno was a 6.5 actually & id give Gomez the same id say. It was noticeable that Gomez played a more defensive game today & didn’t get up & down the line as much as usual. Which gave us a stronger look at the back, almost like a 3 CB’s line up.

[Daniel 7]

Yeah I thought it looked 352. There was solidity there from it, and the formation seemed to suit Moreno and Milner. Ox looked positive again when he came on - I'm hopeful of him becoming a Mkhitaryan type for us, if he can add some numbers to his game.

Ox definitely moves the ball quick, and looked handy running centrally, as opposed to just down the wing.
