What a load of rubbish. First things first, the game itself. Poor first-half, buttercup and scanz once again our only outlets. Butts had a few good shots saved by their keeper but other than that we barely threatened and neither did they. Second half was an actual football match, scanz outstanding, hogg harried, won tackles, played simple balls, did his job. Whitehead for me isn't justfiying his place in the team. Would rather have dempsey in there as atm we lack so much urgency in the middle. Decision-making in the game was also a huge concern, too many times misplacing a pass when a break was on or just not going forward and playing it pedestrian and slow. Davidson was my MOTM. Outstanding performance. Got forward, crossed well, and was hugely dependable when called upon in defence even when bunn gave him absolutely no cover. Wells usual lightweight self but popped up with a good finish. Fulham were shocking make no bones about it, we should have won this game. Scanz had a one-on-one he could have scored from but he was being pulled back as he shot so harsh to say he should have scored and bunn drew a good save from their keeper. Murphy looks a more than capable replacement. One world-class save from a free-kick late on I thought after 'this is what will win it for us' but alas town find a way to cock it up. He was vocal and screamed at our stupid defence's mistakes time and again. Smith is a huge liability and clearly the fact he has virtually no competition for his place has made him complacent. Lumbering, pondersome and almost lost possession in stupid positions several times. Put rest of defence under pressure. Their goal was completely avoidable, long punt forward, lynch and hudson go for the same ball and their lad bangs it in when it drops. Schoolboy defending. We simply cannot have half our defence playing as poor as that otherwise we will continue to leak goals at crucial times. Hudson and lynch always look like a piece of mis-communication or error will cost us a goal, that is simply not good enough.
Now for the other issues. Support outstanding, must have had 2000 there at a guess, but the behaviour by some of our fans has made me ashamed to feel a part of this football club. Granted fulham were stupid to oversell this game as clearly more town fans turned up than they expected but the fiasco that occurred when they tried to get people into their seats where huge numbers were clearly in the wrong seats and taking other peoples was shambolic, resulting in a group of fans standing in the gangway during the second half, clearly with no consideration for other town fans. I almost got in a fight with one of them I was so angry at what was going on. It shocked me as a 21 year old that I would seem the rational one to try and reason with a group of 30-55 year old grown men who obviously were ready for a bit of action and were looking for a fight. Exactly the same lot turned up at QPR. Big london day out, get so half-cut most couldn't see, let alone stand and then proceed to sing that classic chestnut 'londons a shithole, I wanna go home'. Wit clearly isn't their strong point. Not being funny, but Huddersfield ain't exactly mayfair. One cretin got right in the face of a poor steward who must have been about my age, intimidating him and waiting for him to try and provoke him. Disgusting behaviour from adults, I don't care who else tries to put opposing opinions on this thread, granted there were no immediate troublesome issues that would make the stewards try and make the people at the top sit somewhere else but the accusations of aggression from town fans by stewards was pure nonsense, they were simply trying to do their jobs and town fans clearly love to bait and antagonise stewards to make them seem like their bollocks are a bit bigger. This is in addition to the appallingly racist chants of 'yid' at ross McCormack from a large section of our fans when he got the ball in addition to a vile chant about him being jimmy savilles son. I'm tempted to report this to the football league but I haven't got the stomach to rat on my own football club. If we play like our second half performance, we should be okay provided we can perhaps buy someone to add to our leaking defence but the actions of a group of town fans today completely overshadowed the game IMO and was a disgrace to the football club. Fulham must think we are a bunch of in-breds.
