Chicken and egg syndrome.

I have to say most of the huddersfield crowd got behind their team big style for most of the game but they did play well.

Imo firstly the crowd have a duty to get behind the team at the start of the game then the buck passes to them.

In my limited experience of watching us at home the only stand that is vocal is the east which is a joke, wherever i get tickets to watch us at home i try to get vocal but most people around me look at me as if ive sh!t in their slippers, it shouldnt take a fvcking derby for everyone to get vociferous but i guess thats what our home crowd has become which is a damn shame.


Fair comment.
The East is almost always the first to sing, the rest of the stadium follows their lead.
North bank it is not for sure!

Coopers injury list response is to use even more younger players, I can see us losing more in either January or end of the season.
As much as I think we can develop the Americans greedy ways could do us in the next month or two.

OK I've changed it.

TBH people rave about the Vetch but I worked down there for the last few seasons and so used to stsnd / sit all over the ground (including in the away end).
For most games all the atmosphere was generated by the North Bank. Even then it was usually a section (similar to NE corner today) . Only in the more important games did the majority of the ground join in.
Atmosphere at Huddersfield was excellent in the home stands and the small group of travelling Jacks made a good effort

As did I from the very early 70's (jeez I feel old).
I remember many great matches when the whole of the Vetch was rocking as well as a fair number when it was quite flat.
Overall preferred the atmosphere even if the ground was past it's sell by date.
Wish it had been practical to rebuild a proper football ground there, but it's history now sadly

Tonight's game is a watershed for me, it could define the coming month, on TV, lack of home wins, Cooper being forced to play youth with no January back up and supporters already in the depths of depression.

A win is the only answer.

I can't see it happening though.
Perhaps if I make a prediction of losing by 2 goals they will prove me wrong.
We can only hope.

He only forced to play youth because of two injuries at CB - we have stand ins who vied for MoM in the Carboro Cup games.
If hey can keep their concentration I think quite a few fans would consider Wilmot / Cabango to be an upgrade! (Not IMO but they are not far off) Their big problem will come from players around them - he has to start with Naughton for experience and Carroll in midfield IMO.
Playing Grimes, Fulton, Byers ahead of the CBs with Roberts and Seagull as fullbacks will be a disaster.
We will bring players in in January.
Players will leave to accommodate the transfers but Cooper and Scott will have a point to prove.

We have no 'big bad' anyones to put in midfield (maybe Fer could be that but only rarely and no one before him since Cañas) but he has experience.
My choice would be Carroll or if not Naughton or Wilmot with the other partnering Cabango with Roberts at right back.
I also think we'll be lucky if both CBs survive Mitrovic's foul play.

You are right about Mitrovic, they will do well to survive and I doubt very much if they can stop him.

It’s no coincidence our away form is better than home this season, I think it’s because of the boo boys at the Liberty, youngsters find it very difficult. Get behind the team win loose or draw 👏👍


It’s because teams bring the game to us away. At home, they have a couple pressing high, trying to force mistakes, but are still fairly compact behind that and we can rarely play through opposing midfields.

I get what you are saying about a flat or negative atmosphere at home, but that’s not as intimidating as going to Elland Road.

Edit

It’s also fair to say we’ve had a bit of luck away and bad luck at home with late goals deciding tight games

If Cooper only plays Ayew up top tonight he clearly is learning anything about playing at home !

Even if we find ourselves in 8th place after tonight's matches, it emphasises just how woeful the standard in this league has become.

I’ve a good feeling about tonight as we often raise our game for the better teams. 1-0 with an early goal and then a bum-clenchingly nervy second half.

Grimes and Byers again? WTF. Talk about a leap of faith. I hope for their sakes, and Cooper’s, they don’t play the same as last week. Fulham play a lot through the midfield from what I’ve seen. If Byers is attacking mid he’d better not shit out again and pass everything backwards and sideways.

Ok 3-1 Swans (Byers 2 and Grimes)
