Huddersfield Prediction Thread

+1 for the comfortable home win.

Huddersfield play a style that will suit us.

Reading NIL.

Quite simply. We score first we win. We don't score first we lose.

.

Which is why Feds needs to be in goal on Saturday. It is clear that all of our opponents are now fully aware of the fact that McCarthy has lost it mentally when it comes to his distribution and are looking to exploit that. Furthermore, he is now starting to lose confidence when it comes to other aspects of his game. There have been quite a few instances recently where he has hesitated before deciding whether to come for the ball or not.

As for predictions - always so hard to call after such an appalling performance in the previous game. Were we playing away or against one of the top teams, I would go for a win. Against Huddersfield I fear a nervy low scoring draw and an angry crowd.

Agree Feds now should come in, but put yourself in McCarthy's shoes as well. It's as much about having no faith in the defence as having no faith in the keeper. Gunter has dropped clangers, Pearce has dropped clangers, Gorkss has almost regularly dropped clangers. Even Obita has been weak at times.

So it can't only be Feds, but the defence is as much a problem. Hector and / or Morrison need to start to, at least one of them.

I think we can safely predict that we won't see any of this:

What we should do then is stop f*cking about with laboured passing triangles involving the likes of Gorkss/Pearce/Gunter - all of them more Paolo Nutini than Paolo Maldini - then knocking the ball back to McCarthy under pressure when it is the one weakness of his game

You'd hope that the manager might spot that little flaw in our (apparent) game plan.

Thats easy - drop Gorkss and Gunter, no more triangles unless Pearce loses it and tries triangles with them on the bench...

Worth a cheer after his exemplary handling of Chronicgate
