Wanderlust

Prone to the occasional mistake but come on, they both bring something to the table despite being played out of position, left exposed by a system very geared to open attacking football and wingers/wingbacks who can’t defend. I had a pop at Gale for not tracking, but in his defence, his cross for Sam’s header was on the money for once. Sure it would be great to sign top class defenders, but with our finances we won’t so we need to be careful about throwing the baby out with the bath water, especially if we’re in this league again next season.

He was frequently left high, dry and outnumbered by Gale not tracking back so it’s not entirely his fault - and his passing was excellent.

Definitely an improved performance. His long passing and crossing is still floaty, but he managed to make a couple of decent tackles without giving away a stupid FK for a change and was more up for the physical challenge. I think he was helped by Ruben’s midfield performance and JK’s runs ahead of him - Josh is an excellent player given time on the ball and short/medium passing options. But MOTM was JK by a street. He delivered everything I had hoped he would when we tried to sign him, and he continues to mature as a player.

What an amazing equaliser!

Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhh

Superb ball from Johnston but that’s 3 Sam’s missed so far - surely he’ll get one today?

Decent strike but we still aren’t in control of this. Need the second goal.

Great from Kenny and Gale, Sam not so much

Good defending from Toal, but Huddersfield looking dangerous now - need to get back control

Stay calm boys

Good ball in from Gale and great header from Toal

Yes

Looks like Huddersfield’s attack is based on pumping it into our box and hoping…

I just hope that we maintain the level of performance and tempo and carry it on throughout our remaining games.

I got slaughtered for saying Kenny would be the better signing at the time, and whilst he’s still a distance from being the finished article, he’s young and his running is invaluable to us. If only we’d been able to sign him permanently- especially if our lowball offer had been accepted. I just don’t see the same potential in the ones we did manage to sign, although Dalby is definitely coming good.

Spot on. What a difference too - we’ve been lethargic or lazy or whatever in some recent games but when we up the tempo, movement and accuracy not many teams can live with us.

Got away with it at their place. Bout time he got sorted out.

Looking at our form and the various run ins, mine started to twitch a couple of months ago, but quite a few results have gone our way since which has largely negated the games in hand issue - apart from Stevenage (and Stockport) They know that if they turn us over they’ll be in the box seat, so we mustn’t lose, and a draw will keep us ahead on GD for now, but a win for us would settle nerves. They are another hard working physical side and we know from experience that to beat them, we have to play high tempo, accurate football, but our lads have been struggling with hard pressing teams recently and our passing has suffered so we’re going to have to improve somehow. It’s unlikely Argyle or Luton with their game in hand will bridge the gap to the playoffs but we only have 6 or 7 points cushion so we can’t afford to drop points and give them encouragement in our four remaining tough fixtures. I really don’t want to see our playoff spot riding on the final day clash with Luton - my ticker couldn’t take it - so let’s stop fannying about and get 3 more points on the board tomorrow night.

Honestly don’t know how we weren’t mullered by 5 or 6 tbh so that’s a bonus. And with Argyle only drawing, staying in the playoffs is a step nearer. Hopefully we’ll get players back, sort it out and get a few wins to seal it whilst it’s still in our hands.

When our passes aren’t finding our players, we lack shape and control and the opposition are all over us it makes no sense to pick out individual players for mistakes as they are all scrambling and mistakes are inevitable.

Inevitable

Bottom line is that we can’t complete passes when we do get the ball - lowest pass completion of the season - so we’re putting pressure on ourselves Agonising.

This is such an uncomfortable watch and Schumacher needs to find a solution fast.

Kenny chasing down the outball is a huge miss - but we have to find a way of getting forward without him.
