Sat next to a PNE supporter; says he's good, but has had a number of injuries.

As posted last night on the post-match thread. We have 43 matches left, and to attain the minimum number of points that over the last 4 seasons has kept teams in this division we need to win 15, draw 14, and therefore lose no more than 14. Every game we churn out a peformance like the last two, that equation gets worse.

At which point, following on my post above, we would then be looking at needing 50 points from about 32 games, which is play-off contender form. Attainable, but it might be a close run thing if we leave it that late to really get going.

In the last four seasons, the points total needed to avoid relegation from L1 has been 52, 51, 50, and 50, with the team next to bottom having won 12 games and drawn respectively 16, 15, 14, and 14. This would indicate that from the remaining 43 matches, we need to achieve a minimum of 59 points, which is likely to need at least 15 wins, with 14 draws, and only 14 defeats. Guess we are about to find out how good AP is.

Anybody who thinks Brentford will allow us to get out of this slump is likely to be sorely disappointed

You should never be, the team however..........

At this rate, assuming he starts the next three games, he'll pick up a ban, ( yours, hopefully ).

Huddersfield are playing Brighton; Norwich are 2-0 down at Brentford

Not Wotton or Lancashire ?

What would the tally be if Bart was playing ? Thank @$!k for KD.

Bugger that, the PATIENT is bl00dy comatose.

I do believe you are right, I stand corrected.

Player of the season already ??

Bring back Guthrie, he certainly had some

Sarcasm ????

I came on here from the other thread hoping for some improvement, but no...

Well, we seem to be continuing on from Saturday, so why not.

I paid with a £20 at the hot dog stall, no problem, but then again I was with a group in the family stand; maybe it was just the away end ? ( They are all a bit Royston Vasey round there;); they claim to be "THE Yorkshire club", totally discounting Leeds, Barnsley, and the 2 Sheffield sides ).

I'd take George Gillett if he was replacing Wotton !

The defence were exposed because the midfield could neither keep possession nor string one pass together; 4 vs 7 is always going to end in tears - the midfield had the impact of a marshmallow and the bite of a toothless slug They created the square root of f u c k all. However, I am not trying to claim the defence are blameless. Perry is probably now too slow, ( to go with his being too short ). Thomas had his good, and bad, moments, but I felt was probably mostly just lacking matches. Murty looks the part, but is probably also a couple of matches short of a decent level of fitness, and Harding is at least an improvement on the last few left backs we've had. Given the extremely uncertain close-season, & the late start to pre-season, all coming on the back of last season's trail of disaster, is it any surprise that the co-ordination and understanding that an efficient team needs are not yet there. Combine this with an away fixture against a well prepared and motivated opposition, likely to prove one of the better sides in this division, and I won't be losing sleep over the team just yet.

Due to the group I went with, was at the opposite end from the away fans, and directly behind the goal, which means I saw all three of their goals at close quarters. The penalty was soft ( at best ), and KD was unlucky - but everybody in that stand knew it was going to his left. The second was because Murty had run out from the near post to harry their player on the byline, and nobody could be @rsed to cover for him, leaving a huge hole for their player to run into unimpeded. The third was the sort of scrappy close in scramble we all know Saints will always fail to clear. Without KD it could easily have been 3-0 at half time, and throughout, the impression I got, was that the midfield were as effective as the proverbial chocolate fireguard. Harding at least has pace, and Murty has commitment, but wish both could have some presence and think a bit more about distribution of the ball. Tank, to me, looked a bit short of match practice but at least he tried - I think Wotton's sole contribution for the entire match was to get booked. And my heart dropped when Ollie came on, I have no confidence in him at all, though to be fair he did make two well judged tackle backs late on. Was a bit surprised that Greg played, and probably by his standards he was putting himself about, but he was far too easily contained, and the only real spark came from Lambert. Highlight of the game ? The announcement on 45 minutes that "The 4th official says there will be SOME time added", when his board broke. The positive slant has to be that Huddersfield are likely to be one of the play-off chasers, and so some hopefully easier opposition lie ahead.

Just about to set off, it's pee'ing it down and blustery here, so assuming it's the same on the 'dark side'. Hoping for a good game, nontheless. COYR !!!!!

With a diversion to Jackson Bridge near Hepworth to visit the pub

Not long for some of us Mind you, home games are a drag
