Well I know we'd be like on here if we had just lost 4-1, regardless of league form.
I had a quick look at their boards, a few doubts about Clark and the squad, yet now they are saying they are out of all cups so there are no excuses anymore. Creates pressure in itself (as well as the run).
Personally, I still think we'll be the two to get the autos.
Perhaps, they took the view that progress in the cup can be dangerous. It's possible to get to the third round, get a plum tie and find that it is a distraction for the preceding 3 or 4 games followed by a 5-0 tonking. Or, it can be a tricky away game to a Championship which is low on revenue, a few bookings etc. One aim?
Leeds's league form did suffer around the time of their cup run two years ago but it may have suffered with or without the run and they went up anyway !
Huddersfield's reserves are not all that and Swindon is a good side. I give you ... CAFC reserves v PNE reserves and CAFC 1st choice v PNE (nearly) 1st choice as examples of relative team strengths and selection policy
Believe me the vast majority of Hudders fans are extremely annoyed by this, more the manner of the defeat than the defeat itself.
As for the team, these players weren't youngsters or no hopers, but recent additions to the squad ie McDermott and Robinson who were a major part of Bournemouths challenge last season, or returning first teamers like McCombe & Kay the centre back pairing. The only player in the team who wouldn't normally be considered is Colgan in goals who seems to be getting a lot of blame.
I do not believe Lee Clark didnt go out to win this, last season the FA cup run and good performance at Arsenal was considered the turning point in the teams form.
A lucky win at Yeovil has papered over a rather poor run of form. Hudders fans always expect everything to go tits up, and are becoming very agitated, which will spill over into the game v Notts County saturday if things arent going well. For a club of this size and history, spending so many years in the bottom 2 divisions has created a negative "we will bottle it" mentality which seems rife throughout the club.

Thats a rather ominous statement - infact heard far too many of them on here last few years!!!
Personally hadn't realised you were unbeaten for so long until about a month or so ago, media attention, well that and I remember watching you lose in the playoffs!!! Still had you as firm favs for the title this year, infact i''d stil have you as favourites now, reckon if we're still top after crimbo with a points cushion then its ours to lose but there's a hell of a long way to go yet, don't really care where we finish as long as we get out this league

Without Rhodes they'd be in trouble whereas, despite all his goals, BWP isn't the only regular scorer for us.
