Play-off final weekend

sorry for Huddersfield fans, their brilliant season has ended in the most depressing way.

Unbelievable that their unbeaten run has delivered nothing.

 

That said, I'm looking forward to taking maximum points off Peterborough.

And so Huddersfield's unbeaten run comes to an end at the worst possible time for them.

 

Some people say that the semi final of a cup is the worst possible match to lose... but it isn't.

 

Losing a play off final... to get so close and then have to go through an entire season in the same league again...

poor huddersfield.....going on a record breaking unbreaten run that would normally see them easily promoted...trouble, they faced a saints team who were completely ruthless

 

Seems strange to hear a Saints team talked about like that... but you're right!

 

Have to admit I'm glad I'm not a moderator on the Huddersfield forum at the moment!

If I was a Huddersfield fan I would be bloody fuming.

How the hell can you play one striker (and a crap one at that) up on his own against a team that everybody knows cannot defend ?

 

You have to play 2 strikers against them, Clark has been very naieve here i think.

 

Championship teams will tear this lot to shreds and without MS up front they could well be the whipping boys of the league.

 

I feel sorry for the Huddersfield fans but oh boy Lee, you screwed that up good and proper.

completely undeserved promotion. Horrible kittle c of a manager too. Huddersfield were never going to win though, not after such a long unbeaten run. They really deserved promotion too, p'boro were way way off that quality. Their defence will get annihilated in the championship too.

 

hopefully !!

I have to agree with all of the above, I am gutted for the Huddersfield fans, on a personal note I hate the whole play off system; the whole idea of having a league is to see who comes out top at the end of the season; WHY turn it into a knockout after the league has ended, totally unfair in my opinion and should be dumped ASAP, to any Huddersfield fan that reads this then you have my total sympathy, lets hope Peterborough come down, as you go up, automatically next season.

Hudds were absolutely terrible and got what they deserved. I thought they were lucky to get past Bournemouth. Still, a good result for Saints I think.

 

Agree- they weren't that great during their long, unbeaten run either - just dogged and tremendously reslient. Should have fallen off the pace alot earlier. Speaks volumes that they generally only play with one CF - their first instinct is not to lose games and contain teams. Only needed a one-off game to expose their limitations, especially a team that scores goals for fun. As much as I think Fergy is a c**t, the better footballing side went up.

That's why I'm glad we avoided the playoffs. Being one of the best teams over the course of the season counts for nothing.

 

Huddersfield froze in the semi's last year and I have to say they froze for the majority of this game as well. Very little from them.

 

From our point of view we have a very weak team following us up, a team that will be even weaker when Mackail-Smith goes.

 

They will do well to finish mid-table next year.

Man alive, that's tough on Hudders.

 

Soooooooo glad we pipped them to 2nd as I'd have been extremely nervous myself facing CMS+Boyd this afternoon.

 

Wonder what the CMS situation will be now?

 

He will leave, Ferguson pretty much confirmed it 5mins ago and Mackail-Smith is on the pitch waving goodbye to the fans.

You can't argue that the play offs are unfair - of course they are. However, Huddersfield wouldn't have complained last season if they'd got promoted and neither would any other side in the play offs. Everyone knows the score at the start of the season so it's no shock, and it does two things; it makes the league exciting right up until the final game and the play offs are undeniably gripping. The play offs whilst unfair are a good thing.

Underserved why?

Peterborough went up fair and square by gaining enough points to reach the play offs scoring over 100 goals. Then getting the right results in the play offs. Whether you agree with the play-offs or not they are here to stay (and have been here for 20 odd seasons).

Huddersfield were unbeaten in 2011 which is bloody good going just a shame for them that they drew too many games, I think about 10 in total, in that run. Saints were a point behind Huddersfield when they began their unbeaten run and lost 3 times and drew 3.

As the old saying goes it’s better to lose one and win one than draw two..

That makes me laugh! They had 27 unbeaten run and could never get their noses in front of us and now they are stuck in league 1 !!! The arrogance of their fans thinking it was their god given right to succeed in L1. Well I guess they have to eat a whole load of humble yorkshire pie now. Well done Posh though. Irrespective of who their manager is, they deserve it.

My S-I-L and Grandson are/were STHs for Posh and are now on the way home from OT. General opinion is that C.Mc.S is on the way to St.Marys. Don't know what the 'fee' is yet.

PS You're nearly there Dave. Do I get a pint?

 

Is he not a free agent?
