I get what you mean, but people expect results when you spunk millions of quid.

It started because the football changed and became tedious. We were still solid and the odd bit of individual skill won us games.This year the skill and solidity have gone but the tedium has gone up a notch. And I’m one who wanted to stick with Carlos until last week. Edited December 16, 2017 by rickygoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m one who wanted to stick with Carlos until last week. Won't disagree with that. The style was clearly different from pretty much the first game of the season...in saying that though, we got the results, so the ends justified the means (until we went uber negative in the play offs). This season...worst football I've seen since the days of Irvine. Largely boring, insipid, once paced nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day your access to the club is your job and if you pi55 off the wrong people then you might be struggling to fill those column inches. Tbf I think Howson and Holt have been very critical of the team (rightfully so) from the off this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its become progressively worse or is that because we are losing? Which kinda backs up your point. However many of us were complaining about the football before this season started.

Bit selective We had a run of 1 win in 7 before Hooper came back, Fletcher found his best form for us since he arrived and we then win 6/7. That put us in the playoffs when it seemed unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I didn't really enjoy watching us last season, but as I said previously: the ends were justifying the means. When we properly clicked last season - Newcastle, Norwich and Wolves away - we were actually very good, but as ricky pointed out we were too reliant upon moments of one-off brilliance or opposition mistakes. This season...well we are even more one-paced than we were last season and have become a very poor defensive unit. Unfortunately, I'd imagine playing against Wednesday atm is very easy. We don't press particularly well and our only attacking tactic is getting out wide to Reach, Wallace or perhaps Hunt to put a ball into the box. Only Reach seems capable of delivering a half decent cross this season. Don't even get me started on Wallace. To cap it all off we are very vulnerable to any sort of counter-attack and our game management is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who saw the "performance" against Rangers... That pre season friendly where "some players were nervous". Before the season even started we were on the back foot, the dire, negative, fearful football has been the only constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season one of our players had a major fallout with Carlos because he felt management was bringing him back too soon following injury. The said player remains at the club, but he and Carlos do not talk anymore. if you say it sij that's good enough for me never known you to bs mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Carlos' post match interview where he implied that it was a big game against a good side and that the team had been nervous. This was supposed to be a side gearing up for automatic promotion playing (in effect) a league 1 outfit FFS. The fear of losing had rolled right over from 70mins into the Huddersfield 2nd leg, and for me, fear has dominated our season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
