Huddersfield post match reflections

[avondalemiller]

It can help MH's cause when he openly critisises some players who's he told can go, then have to play them because of injuries.

He's on a hiding to nothing, is it his fault, or did he do right telling them?

Don't forget those players are in the Shop window so you'd think they'd have a go...(ish),

An absolute honking performance.

Thing is, we never tried to win that game. Jack Holmes and James Clarke as wing backs was a laughable decision by Hamshaw. Has anyone EVER seen Holmes play well as a wing back? As for Clarke, he never got near their left winger in the first half but the manager waits until halftime before he changes anything!

Far too many players strolling around tonight, an absolute disgrace some of them. Etete shouldn't play football for this club ever again, he will though. McWilliams has checked out for me, just watch him stop running for their 2nd goal. Rafferty as well for their 3rd goal, he just let's their striker run past him. He did the exact same thing 5 minutes earlier too when Cann blocked the one on one. It just isn't good enough and it's very obvious certain players aren't playing for the manager.

I don't know what on earth that was tonight, Huddersfield looked at least 2 leagues above us and they made 7 changes from their last league game.

Pathetic. I don't know what the team will be on Saturday but there are certain players who shouldn't be anywhere near it.

I agree mellow it isn't who the manager is, but with this ownership and his cronies we have more chance staying up if MH isn't our boss than if he is, in my opinion. We were right to get rid of Evans and doing so kept us up and at this time all we can have as a success this season is avoiding relegation.

You do realise it was the appointment of MH that kept us up. Strange statement M8
I can see the mellow/frog point of view as rinse and repeat hasn't been working. Well not for the last 4 managers. I've always said any manager should be given to the end of a season and I stick by than. I also see the other point as nothing is working ATM and motivation/tactics are down to the manager..
And this manager is also rinse and repeating...

Cayton.
In your opinion what was his post match interview?

Honest.
Inexperienced
Car crash

I know your question was for Cayton but personally I haven't seen it Yak, I've never watched them whoever the manager has been. Considering the recent events and climate at RUFC I'm guessing it was a rhetorical question and MH's interview last night was all 3.

[ManorFarmMiller]

It won't do any harm.

Wont it? Thats the point though, it has done. Hamshaw has a huge chunk of the available budget going on players he doesnt want and cant move on. Fire Hamshaw, the next guy has that the problem with the entire squad (i.e. Richardson). Dont know what the answer is to be honest, but not sure firing Hamshaw wont make things even worse.

For me however, the system and style has to change. 3 at the back isnt working and we move the ball way too slow and almost surrender penetration and risk to just retain possession. Dare I say it, think we need to be a bit more hoofball playing a 4141 or 433 shape.

Yet when it was Taylor you were vocal about him mellow.
Now the problem is the club
So were you wrong about Taylor?
Hypocrisy mellow you can see that certain posters just don’t want to criticise MH.
I’m not banging on about anything apart from the hypocrisy now it’s this manager.
Agree with pocket that certain posters have created an echo chamber.
Any other manager you would say different because you have previously.
Selective memory on display by some.

I agree I wanted Taylor to go and some of the others too. It's what football fans always do when things go wrong, blame the manager.
I do it, others do it and when we get our way we're pleased about it and look forward to the next one on the conveyor belt having a go.
What I'm trying to get through is that it doesn't work at our club, things don't just miraculously improve when we get a new guy in.
There is no doubt that Hamshaw's position is now untenable based on results and performances but do people really have a strong belief that everything will be fine and dandy if TS pulls the trigger and gets his next "high quality candidate" in?
Really?

[Old_time_miller]

I will breathe a sigh of relief when summer comes. It cannot come fast enough. Hugill, rafferty and many more will disappear.
Money to spend and a new beginning.

[Old_time_miller]

I know one thing for sure, bickering about each other on here won?t solve anything.

Yeah it was a little bit Cam.
He’s being honest but these players he’s calling out he referenced they are players he’s inherited. Martha, Agbiarre, Eteke Yearwood to name a few weren’t. And now he’s called players out publicly will they put a shift in for him probably not.
I do think some of it is inexperience and that’s fine with me.
The car crash bit is he talks about we will be ok in a few weeks well he’s been saying that now for too long.
He also takes no accountability for playing the same system that isn’t working. The wing backs were a joke and he seems totally void of adapting to any other way of playing and it was imo weak and not a good look for him or the club.
