Dr Who?

I was speaking to him yesterday, as he was at the game on his own like myself with the wife out with the kids in Halifiax. Just wondering if he was a poster on here at all. Said he goes to many of the nothern away games, a little bit like myself. In a rush to get to my car and go and pick up the kids and wifer before the roads got jammed, I did not ask his name. If not on here perhaps I will see him at Carlisle or Rochdale away.

Not saying he will never get it right, just the main point was we needed to change the tactics slightly. Nothing wrong with trying to play football, as that is what we all want to be watching.

In the first half Huddersfield push well forward in a very advance stance. This did not give time for the ball to be thrown/kicked out to the full backs, before someone was right on them. When the ball is thrown or kicked out it should be for the full back to jog on to, and not wait for it to come to him. Everything from yesterday just seem to be done at half pace. What you do have to think is if they know we are going to try and play football then did they press us to stop us building from the back and by doing so surely there would be a case for a quick (not hoof) but ball forward over the defence to run onto. It just seemed the team were sent out with instructions an then we did not change them. Surely this is not good. I noticed Lee clarke telling his team to sit back a bit more. This was after about 50 minutes. Think he was telling them to take a bit of a breather as they were at 100% during the first half and would have tired at the end. As it was the last 15 they looked to weaken, but we could not get the goal that could have got us right back with a chance of a point!

Oh they were 100% playing out from the back for the sake of it. Sometimes KD was passing it to his full backs and they had a man on them already.... this was not wise. Overall we tried to play football and over played at times, little passes that were not needed. I am not saying do not play football, but you do need to mix it up a bit and get the right balance. Also they were a big team, and I reallyt think we needed someone to run at the back 4 and not try and hit it over them to get in behind. We got the match tactics 100% wrong today, and just did not come out the traps quick enough IMO.

I did write the above from what I saw today, but have just read the Adkins press conference article. So he was on the sideline, surely he could get the message across to stop messing around with the ball in our own box? He must have gave the insructions in the first place to pass all the time? Well at least the team are listening to him, or just proving a point.... which would be very worrying if it is the case!

Now I am all up for playing good football and building from the back, but sometimes today the distribution from KD was stupid. Trying to play to ball out short and receive it back again and being put under unnessasary pressure at that back. It just looked like they were told that we must not kick the ball long at all costs, in the first half. We did not seem to fancy this game at all with the lashing rain from the start an the strong breeze cirlcling around the ground. We were second to every ball, and did not close the ball own at all around the edge of our box. They were up for it and very physcial and won in all areas of the park. Last 15 minutes we looked much better, but never really looked like scoring. But going back to the first point it just seemed like passing short for the sake of it, when sometimes a hoof up field is what is needed. We never get the balance right do we!! Roll on next weeks.

I cannot call this one, as it seems they have hit form as well. Winning 3-0 at Colchester is not a bad result. I think it will be a really good game on my first visit to Huddersfield. Another away ground to cross off the list.

Well I was hoping for a better return than that to be honest. That is near relegation form!

We are having such a good run at the moment and we WILL slip up in at least a couple of those games. It is just the way the league is. We will still win the eague though I still have no doubt!!

Brilliant result, and reading the reports a great performance. 10 points from the last 12, with only 1 goal against and off to Huddersfield next week and really looking forwar to it!

I work with a lady from Belarus. She is nearly 40 but you would not believe it, but very annoying!!

My company have blocked this to. No fun in this place!! I am sure I will come up with an unfunny comment.

Well that is blocked by my company so it must be rude? I will take a look when I get in!

Is it toothpaste?

I tell you what this was the best thread ever, and a shame that there was no more input to it!! CLASSIC!

Surely it is normally round the other way?

Now I find this very offensive!!!!

Not who I want back, but someone you were right to ban StuRomseySaint all he does on the Ugly is wind people up, and repeat himself about people that report posts and use the ignore button. This to me has guilt writing all over it... people do not report me or ignore me. All these forums give you choice, for who you want to respond to and who you want to ignore. I do not use the ignore button, but do like the forum not to be full of people that think they know best. Relax and have some fun!!

It is a cake! hence the name. Also biscuits go soft when stale and cakes go hard!

I can never find lardy cake, where did you get that? When I was at school used to eat a whole large one from Copperfield Way. I think it was called Copperfield Stores?? is it still there?
