after another defeat for the Terriers ...
Thing is, we are just not used to losing games, and then 3 come along all in a row.
Can anyone remember when we lost 3 league games in row...well actually it's not that long ago, October 2010 in fact, Swindon 0-1, Rochdale 0-3, Bristol Rovers 0-1.
Doom, gloom and despondancy...Everyone has had a go, including me, in trying to summarise what has gone wrong.
Can anyone remember 2004, last home game of the season v Mansfield..they absolutely wiped the floor with us in one of the most skillfull and stylish performances I've ever seen from an away side...they won 3-1, but it could have been 6.
Gloom and despondancy and then 30 days later we meet them again at Cardiff in the play off final...the rest, as they say, is history.
So, the moral of this story ? It is always darkest just before the dawn.
Town are in a rut at the moment, everbody knows things aren't going as they should be, and everyone has an opinion as to what exactly is wrong. Larry and his crew will be burning the midnight oil in analaysing the last few games from videos, to identify the cause or causes. But as sure as night does indeed follow day, he will prevail.
The answer IS there, it can't be anywhere else can it.
We will get back to winning ways, confidence will return...and we will get through the play-offs...
We can only be patient and wait for the solution to reveal itself, as it most certainly will...
Onwards and forwards..........
Monday morning feels so bad....

"Some Town fans though expect
100% possesion (sic)
0 shots on our goals
0 % of football actually in our half"
Name them and shame the... that’s what I say! I’m only guessing, but I would like to bet that they include Jock Boxorocks, Ernestine Doink, Carl and his Caribou, Hymie Kangaroodown, and the Cackle Sisters. They ought to be ashamed of themselves! Flogging’s too good for ‘em!

captain..
im not worried about the percentage of play opponents have in our half..its the amount of play we attempt in our half and the amount of time we spend sitting in our box that bothers me..i dont think we have scored a goal for ages that started with a number of square passes and slow stuff in our own half?

I agree 100%! You echo my thoughts exactly.
Quite some time ago, I referred to Town’s second goal against Birmingham City in the F. A. Cup 3rd round tie in January 2008. You can watch it on
youtu.be/w2_r3csd_4c
It starts 4’ 18” into the video.
Collins, out wide, just inside his own half, knocks the ball forward, down the line to Schofield, who quickly controls it, and hits a pass down the line into space in the corner. Beckett lets the ball run, and just before it goes dead, he hits a cross to the far post for Brandon to pick his spot. It’s the beautiful game, and had it been Manchester United executing it, the so-called pundits would have been having ogre spasms!.
I often say that playing like Manchester United is very much about mindset. None of the skills required to create the above goal are beyond the average professional footballer, and the thinking shouldn’t be either.
Way back, I mentioned that whilst you can’t choreograph such goals, Town just doesn’t seem to come up with anything approaching that. In the four years since, similar circumstances to the start of that sequence of play must have occurred on a number of occasions, but I can’t remember when the team last executed a flowing move like that. It’s letting the ball do the work, and it’s quick passing in the direction of the opponent’s goal. Simple game!
Town’s style of play, if you can call it that, is far too sterile, unimaginative, and dreadfully dreary! And isn’t it repetitive? It’s like watching a continuous film loop.

Well Grayson is the most negative manager in football.

Sorry Captain, this was my reaction to how some describe victories of our team, nevermind the defeats.
