California Ram. Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 How many games before you can drop a record signing. 13. Unlucky Tom. See you next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Huddersfield made 6 changes to their side tonight. They'd have been dead on their feet after the City game on Sunday, not surprised they freshened it up in a game they were never likely to get anything from.

David Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Fixtures have been kind to them, Man City on the Sunday, away to Arsenal on Wednesday, my legs are tired just thinking about chasing those shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when can teams afford to throw away games? When did this become acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you the other 4 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did this become acceptable? Not really what I meant. They didn't intentionally throw the game and the scorline suggests they'd have lost no matter what team he put out. Why have a squad if you aren't going to use it? They have a more winnable game at Everton on Saturday with fresh legs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stupid argument imo. Managers should be able to play who they want. Who are the FA to say which players are better than others? It's not like Huddersfield chucked the U18s in is it.

I'm not sure) who says you can't utilise any player you deem good enough on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Its a difficult one. I get that they have a squad but I think there are occasions its too much. Take Huddersfield last season making I think 10 changes in a game at the end of the season and losing to a relegation candidate. If its allowed fine, but the rules should be consistent, why were the likes of Luton fined last season for making too many changes in a cup game?

Kernow Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Tom Ince is still quite a low risk buy for Huddersfield. He's one of the top goalscoring midfield players at Championship level. Whether he can cut it or not in the level above doesn't change that. If he flops at Huddersfield and they stay up, they'll still recoup most of their money to a Championship side. If they go down, they have an extremely dangerous asset already in their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, we all know Huddersfield's aim this season is to survive, they won't compete with the big boys like Arsenal and City, that's just a fact. That game would have been nice for the fans, but the fans, the players and the management all know it's pretty unattainable, the best they'd have been hoping for is a draw. Competitive sports can have upsets in Leicester, but largely it'll play out how expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Johnstone Paint Trophy (is it still called that?) has a rule where you have to play 5 (or 6 can't remember the exact number) players from the previous game. It is to stop the teams puttong a team full of youth players out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what the modern football fans feels is acceptable then it’s all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
