Sweep Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hudds haven't spent big bucks have they? And I doubt they pay huge wages. It shows you can get promoted on a shoestring budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 They didn't today from what I heard. Down with the xmas lights. They played some decent stuff. Reading were awful and just tried to spoil the game. Â They'll probably come back down, though have a good manager, but they will be 170M richer.

bolton va va Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hudds haven't spent big bucks have they? And I doubt they pay huge wages. It shows you can get promoted on a shoestring budget They've got a lot of players on loan including Ward, Mooy & Kachunga who seem to be their best. It's worked for them this season & good luck to them, but it's short term stuff & not really building a team. Â Down by christmas !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 They played some decent stuff. Reading were awful and just tried to spoil the game. Â They'll probably come back down, though have a good manager, but they will be 170M richer. Â The first time Huddersfield got promotion to the top tier was 1920. They finished second, well behind Spurs but further ahead of Brum. That same season BWFC were 6th behind West Brom, Burnley, Chelsea, Liverpool and Sunderland. Although they might have been expected to go straight down again it didn't happen. Bradford (PA) were bottom, and Derby next. Huddersfield were 17th, and BWFC third (for the first time since 1892) in an all-Lancashire top 4 (not the first time!). Huddersfield still had a local derby, however, as Bradford City were 15th of the 22 clubs. Next season BWFC were 6th and Huddersfield 14th. Then Huddersfield were third and BWFC 13th (but FA Cup winners for the first time). The following three seasons saw Huddersfield as champions, by ever increasing margins (with BWFC 4th, third and 8th [but cup winners]). Then the bubble burst and Huddersfield were runners-up in successive seasons (BWFC 4th and 7th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySanchez Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 They did play some good stuff today, but a play off fins isn't exactly going to bring out the best in any team with the pressure.  Their manager seems destined for big things Bar the first ten minutes it seemed both teams wanted penalties  Substitutions seemed like for like rather than wanting to change it  So had no sympathy for whoever would have lost on penalties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didledee Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Huddersfield went up with a negative goal difference, reckon they've got a lot of work to do if they ain't going down very early. Edited May 29, 2017 by Didledee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Apart from Wigan  And Blackburn.  Well, yeah, was thinking more along the lines of the Southern media spitting shite about "working class", "grim Northern town", "the industrial revolution", etfuckingcetera...............

If I was them I'd go down the Burnley route  Similar sized club, ground holds about the same, won't generate that much from corporate etc  They seem to have a decent manager do could make a good go of it if they went down and were looking at coming back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Plus that Izzy brown is on loan from Chelsea as is another who's name escapes me  Kasey Palmer. The goalie, Ward, is on loan from Liverpool.
