That was a VERY good performance. Really looked a solid performance.

Sounded like a decent performance , you cannot win every game.

Great football. Missed an open goal. Hudders never looked like scoring in a month of Sundays so it was down to us winning it, which we just couldn't. But we played nice football in getting our scoreless draw.

You have to be kidding? Tactics all wrong, finishing woeful. Huddersfield are comfortably the worst team I've seen at the Amex this season. We created two chances.Two. And missed both. Buckley can't play anywhere but right wing (actually think we missed Conway's delivery). Barnes was good apart from when it mattered, Sexy Pete's distribution scared me at times. There were big positives. Bruno (should have been mom), Upson and El Abd excellent, Ince and Brdcutt also. But to call it VERY good is mental. It was average, workmanlike and scrappy.

Agree with this. Really enjoyed the game. I have respect for Huddersfield, who didn't try and run the clock down, and tried to play football. This was one of the good scoreless draws.

Nice wind up. Keeper often tried to run the clock down and they did not try to play football. Comfortably the worst team seen at the Amex this and last season, never a chance they would score. Unfortunately, while we had a lot of the ball and created many half chances we barely created a "proper" chance all game either and never looked like we would. But yes, Bruno's showboating was great.

I wish you all sat around me. Well, except Guinness Boy. It sounds like he already does. (Though on second reading it doesn't sound as critical as the people around me, who were treating the performance as if it made the Barnsley match seem like a classic by comparison).

Why? I mean, I thought his distribution wasn't as good as v Leicester, but because he always looked for a short pass rather than some of those sublimely accurate mid-range passes he played v Leicester. How were they scary today?

Agreed.

Other than Barnes, and Buckley at times, I thought we played well.

Thought Buckley was poor at times but Barnes played well, missed that sitter which came at him quicker and high enough that he had no control on the shot. Another time it could of bounced into the back of the net.

Bridcutt Ince and Kemy, all fit and all on form would destroy the rest of this division.

12 months ago it would have been Bridcutt, Hammond and Dicker and we were well happy!!

I was never happy with Hammond.

Decent performance against a well organised team, on another day we'd have nicked it.

If KLL had started the 2nd half, we'd have won. Fact.

I am enjoying Oscar's style of football more than Gus' now. Really enjoyed that game, result apart.

That's got to be the most pessemistic analysis I've ever seen. It was a decent performance without be spectacular, we controlled posession from start to finish and should've scored two goals. Good individual performances from El Abd, Upson, Ince, Bridcutt, Kemy, Bruno.

Apart from missing a couple of very good chances what else can you criticize the performance on? :shrug:

Sometimes you play well and don't win, that's football :shrug:

The hospital ball he gave Bruno and the flashy turn in his own box. Could've conceded from either and we were never going to score.
