Update on BBC news…… travel started to get disrupted in the York, Leeds area with snow started to fall over the pennines in North Yotkshire Good luck to everyone traveling up to Huddesfield today stay safe...
Looking forward to seeing our widely feared "box" midfield back in action. It was sorely missed during the international break.
'What's in the box' you ask? Let's open it and see.
Oh no - someone has filled the box full to the brim with human turds. The smell is overpowering. Why would anyone do this!?
Only one man knows the answer. His name?
Nathan Jones.
Trouble is he is unable to understand himself let alone explain it to others.
The answer to the question is , more people are starting to question Nathan Jones now.
The box moves as one.. hard to explain without drawing it and showing how it moves out of procession and in procession.…. it is very flexible and allows a high press, it limits the other team time in midfield
I had the normal “it’s match day” message sent through on the club APP this morning and noticed it has 15k followers this morning a few weeks ago it had 17k ! That’s a big % drop and maybe a sign of people losing interest already this season.
We need to put a run of victories together sooner rather than later
I came away from the Exeter game totally deflated. We are competitive but unconvincing and unexciting dullards. Couldn't be arsed with Bromley. My son is going today so I will be kept updated by text whilst I find more exciting stuff to do, like watch paint dry
My son is up there with a former Uni mate. Making a weekend of it in the middle of Storm Bert. Expect us to be as toothless as usual and at least I can turn it off when it gets too crap.
NJ has 10 games to put us in the top 6 (big ask), or he won’t be getting January cash to spend on old Luton players and will be gone at the end of the season.
Yes injuries are bad, but he gave up Dobbo and May and replaced them with crap.
Blimey. What happened to the blind ’Nathan Jones the saviour’ optimism? Looking at our record and the predictions on here you’d think Appleton were manager. But it will be OK because NJ waves his arms about in the dug out and looks angry.
We’ll scrap a win maybe in this game, maybe the next but on average it’s the same old shit.
Unless Huddersfield have a real off day, I doubt that we'll take anything from this game. Perhaps Miles Leaburn can produce a bit of magic, although the service to the strikers has been rubbish all season. As we're painfully aware, the principal tactic has been to lump the ball forward mindlessly, rather than to pass the ball through midfield or attack down the flanks.
Regardless of who - if anyone - returns from injury, one player I absolutely do not want to see in the starting line up is Allan Campbell. The man's contribution is derisory. We need someone wide in midfield who can go past players and, in the absence of Tyreece, I'd like to see Thierry Small playing on the left in front of Edwards, although I doubt that Jones will go with that.
Although we've had two weeks to work on tactics following the Peterborough postponement, the manager has, thus far, failed to produce a discernible and effective style of play and I fear that we're unlikely to see a change today.
Hopefully I can repeat this at 5.05 or whatever time the match ends if we are winning/won. Unlikely but...
Harold Wilson, Wilfred Rhodes, Gordon Kaye, Derrick Ibbotson, Nina Hossain, Zoe Lucker, Ryan Sidebottom, James Mason, Simon Armitage (Poet Laureate) Jodie Whittaker, Trevor Cherry and everybody at the Pedigree racing Whippet club opposite the Wappy Spring pub in Huddersfield.
Udders 2 Cafc 1 and I have to save the above until we give them a reet good hiding at the Valley.
Yorkshire translation: Eeh by Gum is when the drug ecstasy is taken orally and not snorted.
We must be happy with a point from this game they are a pretty decent side if they click. Please don’t play A.Campbell he’s utter crap. I’ve cleaned my boots this week looking for a run out with Charlton. But at least I will give my all if I was playing can’t say that about a few that will be in that starting line up. Once again if the board won’t spend the money you get crap players. It’s all down to them.

What players did Jones want that the board didn't back him on?
And then telling fans to take extra care getting to the ground if there a problem outside and ariunx the ground how can the game go ahead???? and you dont start unless you can be 100% sure of finishing it? Huddersfield 0-2 Charlton game abandoned after 72 mins

The ones that could pass a ball forward and preferably to another Charlton player.
I expect the conditions to take a toll on our silky, one touch attacking football, so we won't be at our usual Brazil 1970 best.
What a team that was. Or more recently the 1st half against Forest when we passed like a dream and Forest couldn't get a kick with the quick pass and move by CAFC. Normal service was resumed 2nd half and it's been a struggle to replicate that type of football since.
We'd have won this too if only prime Nesta-esque Dan Potts was fit, if only we had big Danny Hylton from a time machine so we could get him from 5 years ago we'd be top of the league and winning 4-0 every week...promise.

Charlton to have zero shots on target in the first 45
- Charlton Win
- Palace lose
- Millwall lose
- Gas Man Hat trick
We are competitive but unconvincing and unexciting dullards.

Game definitely on according to Huddersfield.
