Very disappointing.
Down to 11th now and the good start to the season is now stArting to erode away quicker than the similar pattern of last season.
1 point from two home games against teams from the bottom three there can be no hiding from it is well below what was hopes, particularly with pretty much our strongest squad available bar the keeper.
Poor Pope made a real changer for the first, but it really didn't sound like we offered much anywhere tonight.
Look forward to the feedback

Worst than Saturday. Too slow in the build up, no movement off the ball. Tony, you have to learn when to pass the ball, you can't do it all on your own.
Pope at fault for their first goal but our defence was all over the shop first half and they could have had three or four.
Big Mak anonymous, Ba very poor. Watt needs to learn to play with his head up and pass the ball.
Second half I couldn't 't understand why we didn't get the ball to JBG more - easily our best player but ignored most of the time.
Miller was a real handful for them and they fully deserved the points
The best player on the pitch Saturday was dropped to the bench tonight - why?
We were inept in all departments from Pope who made yet another mistake to Jbg and Watt who had their worst games for the club.
What looked like a good start to the season 5 days ago now looks like a bad start and the lack of investment in the transfer window is coming back to bite us in the arse already.
Need scoring midfielders added to the squad desperately.
Scoring just 2 goals combined vs a pair of the worst defensive teams in the league, and both were CB's goals .. very poor. Being outplayed by a CP away from home team speaks in leaps and boundaries.
Stupid formation which offers no attacking width and leaves the fullbacks totally exposed.
Pope yet another nightmare goal. Has a disproportionate number of these on his Cafc CV. *Edit* now seen the goals. Said it on the match thread and now its been proved. The wall was poorly lined up and he was slow to get down to the freekick. Both goals down to him I'm afraid.
Watt, possibly the most self-indulgent pile of crap display I have ever seen. Like watching a spoilt brat 10 year old refusing to pass in a park match.
No pace, no movement absolute crap.
We need a left winger urgently and if he's fit Diarra has to play as without him the defence was all over the place.
Shit
Firstly our best centre midfielder has to play centre midfield. This is starting to become infuriating. Cousins in the left is an absolute waste of his strengths. Surely the fact that in the last two games Ba has been removed and Cousins put in centre mid tells a tale?
Ba was awful. Couldn't play a five yard pass.
Watt believes his own hype. Tries to do it all on his own.
Sarr was totally lost. Haven't seen a centre back bullied like that for years. Totally out of his depth.
Fox. I have kept my counsel on him. Saturday and tonight he was shocking. Is any pitch wide enough for him? The amount of times he finds touch is Farell esque.
And as on Saturday he headed a ball he could have controlled on his chest in to no mans land. Not good enough for this level.
Mak. Agree with Tony Gale
Kashi, Cousins and Bauer emerge with some credit. Nobody else does.
Who'd have thought we would have been undone by Powell's tactics eh?
Mak was ok apart from a woeful sitter he missed just before going off.
Ref unconvincing again.
Another flat performance. 3 in a row now and starting to worry we're heading for a slump.
Huddersfield bossed the first half and would have been further ahead if they had a decent centre forward. Miller must have had about 4 headers that didn't trouble the goalie.
Both goals looked like goalkeeping errors, certainly the first one. The full backs had a tough first half with Scannell and their number 10 taking them on whenever they had the ball.
Our Midfield was devoid of invention with Ba having a shocker. Improved a bit in the second half with Cousins in the middle. Seriously, this wasting him on the left has to stop.
Nothing went right for Mak tonight. Watt wanted to win the game on his own. Tried to take on the whole team whenever he got the ball.
Bergdich was "ok" when he came on but we badly need a goalscorer and left midfielder.
Only positive is it hopefully keeps CP in a job for a bit, though with fans like LBTF, just waiting for a bad run of form, maybe we should have done him a favour and accelerated his exit.
I'm so pissed off!
This is getting ridiculous now.
