Huddersfield appreciation/respect thread

Well technically we need another point to go up. I hope our squad goes out to beat Walsall comfortably so we go up in style not just scrapping it on goal difference. I wouldn't put it past Huddersfield to win by a very large margin against Brenford at home. I hope the team Adkins puts out on Saturday go out to win it in style!

Just want to wish Huddersfield best wishes for the play offs - they truly deserve promotion following the tremendous effort they have put in. Just hope that the disappointment of not getting automatic promotion doesn't affect them.

Unbelieveable that they won't get autos after their run, and even more unbelieveable that with all the problems we had at the start of the season, with two other teams on 86 or above points, we've still managed to get an auto spot.

 

It's been an incredible battle, one I'll remember for a long long time to come.

 

Good luck to them in the playoffs, no other team deserves to go up, but I'm rooting for Bournemouth, I love local matches.

Hudders team and sporting fans have my full respect. Best wishes for the playoff and i hope they continue their fantastic unbeaten run since December at St Mary's until they get the Promotion it deserves

 

What a chase! They were like a dog with a bone! glad we had the 2 games in hand during this titanic battle it is what told in the end!

It's been a great battle that's for sure! I think Huddersfields relentless run has kept saints up to it to the last. Well done us but they deserve promotion as well and hope they get it. It's a crazy system that a team that finishes 6th could get the promotion before a team that is virtually joint second!

As a Bompey fan - The Hudd situation is a bit like the Pompey one when they finished way ahead of the other teams but didn't go up in the play offs..(sure you lot were gutted about that eh?). Can't remember when it was though, early 90's at some point.

 

Thanks for some of the comments on here wanting us to go up - fair enough to want Hudd to go up on terms of performances. Shame about some of the anti AFCB comments, but unfortunately I have been fighting a bit of a losing battle trying to convince some Saints that we are not all rabid 'scummer bashers'

 

Oh and well done today. Deserved promotion

Fair play to Udders. They played us off the park for the first 45 mins at their place & were decent at SMS. They too have bought a number of players so should have been up there, but their recent run deserves more than 3rd place at the expense of anyone else but Saints.

Good Luck in the play-offs!

Was very pleased that Huddersfield beat Brighton on Saturday, when many fans were hoping for a Brighton win. Huddersfield gave us the chance to get very close to Brighton on points and to move our goal difference above Brighton's. I've been very disappointed in the attitude of Brighton and their fans towards Southampton but I put it down to small club mentality and a severe chip on the shoulder. Its good that we can now thrash them again next season and I hope Huddersfield are there to do the same.

As for Bournemouth getting to the NpC.....No, I don't think so......

We have been forced to produce a fantastic run of form just to see off a brilliant challenge from Huddersfield. Any other year they would have gone up automatically. I urge you all to post a few words of respect and wish them well in the playoffs. Many of their fans have been viewing this forum and there has been a lot of mutual respect.

COYRs Champioship here we come.

 

 

I agree totally, they have given us a good run for the money but TBH I hope that don't get promoted - if only because there will

be enough top opposition in CCC - without having one more like them.

But well done anyway, they are the only club who lasted the pace to the end.

Despite a few *****s on their forum, by and large they've been very gracious in defeat of second spot. They've really given it their all to try and overtake us, but we wouldn't be denied. Great form from both teams, and it's really lit up League One this season. Both teams better than Brighton IMO. (;-))

 

Agree with this,fantastic effort by Huddersfield and top class fans.

They nicked our play-off spot last year, but they will come up with us this year.

 

It was very similar last year, but with them in the box seat of 6th and us being very unlucky that a great run didn't produce the goods. Wouldn'y surprise me if both teams are challenging for promotion from the Championship next season.

I used to like Bournemouth but this season has changed all that so I don't give a toss about them anymore. Good luck Huddersfield!

 

This is the problem with all the crap that some fans of both of us have been spouting on forums this year - ALL of us are spiteful and have a small club mentality, ALL Saints fans are deluded and arrogant.

 

Makes fans hate clubs for the sake of some keyboard warriors - had a good crack with all the Saints fans I have met this year - from at Waterloo on the first day of the season to the ones at the league match at St.Mary's.

I hope 'Udders go up. The whole play-off thing is wrong, the team finishing third are there on merit and it would be a travestry if the 6th place (whoever they happen to be) get promotion. Apart from that I care very little for Bournemouth after all the nonsence coming from their direction this season.

I really can't believe people actually want Bournemouth to go up ahead of Huddersfield, seriously....

Bournemouth fans have been nothing but a bunch of ****s towards us, they're only in the playoffs because Orient and Rochdale imploded and ****ed up.

From a football point of view and if for no other reason than the sheer guts and determination they've showed I hope Huddersfield storm the playoffs and stuff the cherries...

Their fans are a decent bunch too...

Come on Huddersfield...

Who cares about ' technically' when it's irrelevant ! In reality and 'practically' we are definately up so why harp on about 'technically' ?????????????????? It's pointless!!!!!

They have been on such an incredible run they must wonder what they have to do to get promoted. Just shows how well we've done to beat them. Its been like to heavy weight sluggers going toe to toe for 12 rounds & we've had to produce the killer blow in the last round. I just hope & pray that they can keep the run going for another 4-games. If ever a team deserves it it Huddersfield do! So just keep going as you won't need luck playing the way you are. Would love to see you trounce Posh & the purple nosed emperor's offspring at Old Trafford Go you Terriers.

I personally, for selfish reasons as the only club I care about is Saints, hope they stay down, as then we can try and pinch Pilkington from them.

 

Great effort from them though, and they fully deserve to go up with their great unbeaten run in 2011. Good luck to the terriers.

Totally agree with OP. Huddersfield have been amazing in the second half of the season & decent before then. Really hope they join us in the championship next season. Good fans, decent manager & play good football, just not as good as Saints over the season. See you in the championship terriers.

Huddersfield having a 24 match unbeaten run really puts the magnitude of Adkins achievement in context for me.

 

From a local viewpoint, yes I'd like Bournemouth up, but Huddersfield deserve promotion for their form this season, and I wish them all the best for the play offs.

Crikey, they really do seem a decent bunch of fans having read this thread. Fair play to them, they deserve to go up based on their performance!

Crumbs!

 

I like their Do It For Pilks (DIFP) thing, it's like our Win It For Markus (WIFM) thing, although Pilkington has only broken his leg or something.

I want Bournemouth to go up so there would be 4 south coast teams in the championship next year.

 

But I guess Huddersfield deserve it really. It is more than unfair that they might not get promoted when they along with us and Brighton are clearly better than all the other teams in the league.
