D_D's Player Ratings V H'Field Not

[ellafella]

To be fair to catch Burnley we'd need to win 4 games and them lose 4 games... If that happens with a 4 goal difference we can't do anything but match their Gd and our superior goals scored comes in.

But we ain't catching them so save your legs for the playoffs

you sure you're a maths teacher ;-)

8 points ahead but we have a better relative goal difference.

so 4 wins for us and 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses for burnley would see us promoted automatically.

not that I'm suggesting for a minute it's gonna happen. they've got ings back and I expect them to beat blackpool easily.

as for the ratings. I don't think forsyth was at fault for the goal. sure he should have stopped the cross coming in but it's inevitable low crosses will come across the box. you could fault pretty much the whole defence for that goal bar bucko. Keogh didn't intercept when better positional sense may have h

Haven't watched the replay but wasn't the back pass from Keogh ?

Great save from Grant - 2-0 might have been a very different story.

Yes dead right Stamford it was which rather makes Keogh's game a bit of a mare given his blast over from 6 yards after 3 minutes.

Cheers for the ratings ella, a pleasure to read!

Some points of disagreement:

Buxton 7- As you've stated yourself, it was in fatc Keogh, not Buxton who made the shocker of a back pass. I thought Buxton was untroubled for the large part, and typically dominant in the tackle.

Hughes 7- His tacking was excellent, his interceptions and dribbles led to numerous breaks and he won the penalty with a nice dribble. For me, him, Ward and Russell were the only players playing with intent when Huddersfield went down to 9 men.

Bryson 5- Nothing came off, no one seemed to pass to him and the game passed him by.

Can we have Johnny R back on a season's loan please?

Clearly missing him as we are in Cup Final.

Guess you will be back looking for more bargains - Ai700k , I thought that Robin Hood was further south?

Glad he is doing ok after 3 bad injuries in 15 months.

He's a joy to watch and is now getting a run in the team and starting to look the business, Thank you for selling him to us. Do you have any others? [/quote]

We do. About 6 or 7 of first XI are good enough to go straight in to either lower EPL/Championship and are young, all under 23.But they will cost you a good bit more as they are now Cup Finalists...

BiaFra, I've heard good thinks about the midfielder Gauld, and that lots of English clubs are looking at him??

[JelloBiafra]

He's 18, loads of potential but about 5ft 5, might get killed in Championship.

But you do have Armstrong, Ciftci, GMS, Robertson or Gunning all 23 or less and first XI regulars that could make the JR move.
