Howay

:lol:

Aye that's a good point about how rarely they've all played together, I've no idea but even if it was it couldn't have been for a full game (maybe when Gayle limped off? Although I think Hayden was missing then). Clark has been a massive miss at the back the last few games, it's clear he does a lot of the communication back there as last match no one was being picked up in the box at all. We've barely seen Gayle since January and all you have to do is look at the top scorer list and see that he is still right up there despite being on the pitch for less than half the time of those above him to underline his impact. That's it in all, it's easy to worry about Hudds but as you say they've hoyed ample opportunities to properly close the gap away. Fulham is an extremely tough game for them imo, suppose it gives me a match to properly watch over the weekend since we don't play until Monday. I've never mentioned it on here either but I'm chuffed for Hughton, he's done a cracking job. I thought they would drop off over xmas with the volume of games but I suppose I overlooked the fact their squad are all good Championship players who are used to this sort of volume and they've done really well.

:lol:That's class, my reaction wasn't far off when my dad texted this morning to tell me I'd be arriving 2 weeks before the GE tbf.

Disheveled "man of the people" worked over here. But aye the bloke needs to tidy himself up a bit ffs.

Closer to the truth aye, maybe if I'm lucky by the time I get back they'll be starting the stuff going for the senatorial or congressman ones that are coming up in 18 month or so. This is my life now I guess.

I hate Leeds like.

We've missed some really key players for significant lengths of time tbf. That's a massive part of it really, along with the ones replacing them being fairly shambolic (I'm looking at Raymond in particular). A 6 point gap is also a big gap, the nervousness is coming from our recent spell of bad form, if we were going into these games with any sort of form I doubt anyone would be nervous about getting a couple of wins from the remaining games.

This has me creased every time. I'm actually going to be in the U.K. for this one and for a while before it because I guess I didn't hit my election bollocks quota in the last 12 month with the shit show over here. At least it's a lot less faff on back home.

Had a feeling that would be me like, I've just been putting 3-0 for the vast majority of games. It was working ok before Jan/Feb.

To be fair Yedlin had a total fucking nightmare against Ipswich.

Fingers crossed for this like, Fulham are a good side tbf and as you say Huddersfield have been just as poor after their winning streak as we've been recently (Leeds aside). Fulham getting into the play off spots was brilliant for us.

Aye I mean that is a positive but the thing about the Leeds game was while the result was nowt to be happy about we really looked good so it made you feel like we'd comfortably pick up the points needed, after today we were so poor it looks as if we'll be depending on Hudds and Reading to whiff a couple of games. It'll likely be a mix of both, we'll probably manage at least a win and a draw out the remaining 3 which should see us up. Not an ideal way to end the season but hopefully it highlights that we really need recruits.

Aye If Fulham didn't have as many injuries/inconsistent play over xmas they'd be a real problem for us. I think they'll beat Huddersfield, especially if we win against Preston as I think the Hudds team would be a bit mopey. All made up shite but it'll keep me going for a week thinking that.

Just go over the top confidence wise and convince yourself we're up. I'm trying to do that by bigging up Fulham.

Aye. Reading are 6 points behind on the same games played, so 3 points from us and they can't catch us (their GD is 35 worse off than ours so no danger of them matching that). Could you imagine if we got pipped by Reading though? Spent months discussing Huddersfield then out of nowhere Reading overtake us. To be fair if we lose the last 3 we absolutely deserve to be stuck in this league.

At least they had that 88 minutes of walking on air before Butterfield smashed their dreams.

Aye we've played 43 out of 46, Hudds have played 42. Is it adding a game to those? It must have mixed up when they were updating it.

It was firmly locked away for a good 3 hour period over both these games like. It's peeking out a little now though I must add, not in glory though more in a wanting to mock Huddersfield display as the lads don't deserve a wave the day.

I know we didn't really see any linked but I don't doubt some were being targeted. Those things have cost us aye but as I say some of the blame always lies at fat boys door, if he had allowed Rafa to spend people like me wouldn't have been watching Derby v Huddersfield, I blame all of them for me watching that horror show of a football match and all includes Ashley. I do agree that Rafa deserves pelters for today, the same as he deserved credit for big wins over Huddersfield and Brighton etc.

Aye, if we beat Preston we're 11 points clear and Hudds would have 4 games left so they'd need 4 wins and for us to lose our last two, if they drew against Fulham then aye it's all over if we win any of our games. I think Fulham will beat them, if they couldn't manage a win today after the incentive of us losing I can't see them beating Fulham who were honestly the best side we've played this year.

Aye it's a reversal in my household, I was in a foul mood slamming the cupboards in a little twisty strop while cooking before and then after my loud "GET THE FUCK IN BUTTERSFIELD YOU SWEATY BASTARD" startled my wife she's in a mood. I'm not arsed though I feel a lot happier after the Leeds result ruined my weekend, we just have to fucking pick up 3 points against Preston and I'd imagine we're up.

Manager_First_Name, Manager_Last_Name

Aye the commentator was a bellend, talking about how Huddersfields style of play would suit the Premier League. What? Holding on against Derby County, aye that'll work a treat in a better league. Derby fully deserved something from that, honestly they deserved all 3 since Hudds goal was clearly offside, I still don't know what the linesman was looking at.

Brilliant, Derby saving our arses there. Big thanks to manager no name, you're a legend. Good to see Huddersfield get 5 minutes from nowhere again but it didn't help, Huddersfield are absolute fucking shite like no way will they get promoted unless they nick our spot.

Aye it would take an unmitigated disaster on their part for there to be any chance they'd not be up automatically.
