Is THAT a brightside? I have to work with seven big headed, full of thier own importance, Huddersfield fans, tomorrow morning is going to be hell on wheels, they'll be full of how good they are, as I suffer the indignaty of three defeats in a row! :(
And how MMF will ram down my throat about Sheff United not being all that good REALLY.

:mrgreen:

But in all seriousness - this is looking like the biggest pressure point in Dean Smith's tenure. Needs to make a change!

I know a lot of us have been saying since pre-season that the squad was clearly inadequate. Taundry and Chambers are too similar - we have been crying out for another style of midfielder.

That said, we may still turn this round. But, our choices off the bench are poor.

Nicholls and patterson on for grigg and hurst. midfield just don't create enough. i'll settle for fifth from bottom at end of the season.

Nicholls blasts a chance over the bar. Rubbish - pay him up.

Three points off the relegation zone...sounding all too familiar, bookies favourites for relagation striving hard to prove 'em right, when will this perenial dissapointment ever end? :(

A front 3 of Nicholls, Jarvis and Paterson sounds terrifying to any opposition defence.

Looking at the team after subs, it just don't look right, disjointed, uneven, unsettlingly frantic, very worrying...another home defeat on Saturday and we will be in REAL trouble....... :(

Is it one of those games where everyone's up for the last 60 seconds or does the ref have to put us out of our misery?

I feel sorry for him too. Pathetic result.

BONSER OUT. Not an over-reaction - everyone knows my thoughts on this.

I wish he would sell the freehold, give the club to someone who wants to run it and let Deano sign players with a decent budget.

Pathetic.

But these are supposed to be professional footballers, does it not hurt to lose three on the trot? I'm furious if my 5 a side team gets beat...have they no pride?

Oh dear. Thats 3 defeats on the bounce.
Although Smith as no doubt a poor budget, something doesnt seem right somewhere along the way.
After the home defeat against Brentford and the apparent big bust up in dressing room, the team have responded with 2 poor performances against 2 poor teams.

I must admit, when people were saying that was a good thing - I was a bit surprised. Negativity breeds negativity.
