Quote:Huddersfield manager Danny Cowley:
"I think today we could see that this is a football club and team which is hurting, which is what we anticipated, but we're here to help them.
"This club needs some grit, we need to get some fight. We didn't have enough energy, we were too slow.
"You have two choices in life, you can be a victim or a fighter. At the minute we're affected by the scoreboard, which you can understand. But we have to change that."
Looks like they know what's wrong. A losing team has that losing mentality. It might be a case of getting some new faces in from the fringes of the squad. Hopefully Matty Daly will come to Danny's attention sooner rather than later.
The fitness is appalling and needs sorting out. How they've gone from the fittest team under Wagner, to this, I don't understand.
Too slow? Yes, we have been for too long. But we have probably the fastest player in the Championship in Diakhaby. What role was he playing today? I know he's got a crap touch, but the Cowley's will have to work on that and what I want is for him to be an out and out winger and use his speed. Hadergonads had their left back beat so many times today, but he can't cross. If Adama had been there instead of...... where was he? He could've had that left back on toast. We're not sending him back, so use his best asset, his speed.
Same with Mbenza, use his speed. And as for Flo. He can't defend for toffee, which is a shame. We need a proper right back who can defend. If we play a proper right winger, we can play a proper right full back.
Centre backs? Please put Elphick back on the bench. Kongolo back in the centre. Young Jaden did well at left back before.
As for attacking. we were getting more men forward, which was good to see. Still never made any good chances though.
I'm sure the Cowleys will sort it.
