canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 5, 2018 Newcastle were clear favourites with the bookies. We were on very similar odds to Aston Villa and Brighton at the start of the season.There''s absolutely nothing pathetic about thinking Pritchard''s late switch was money-motivated. I can''t help arriving at that conclusion; commonsense can be a real burden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bookies are no more a guide to results than mystig meg knows the lottery numbers.I would not have thought that a player''s choice of club is based on what punters had placed their bets on.

Webbo118 0 Posted February 5, 2018 [quote user="Samwam27"]Feel sorry for him. Think he is worthy of a much better and bigger team than Hudds (not being disrespectful to them).They are in serious trouble now as other teams are picking up.Glad we got him, shame we sold him, but he only played four for us this season, and don''t think we''ll miss him (looking odds on we''ll see him again next season) but impressed that Farke/Webber are unearthing decent players for us[/quote]Feel sorry for him? He wanted to go and has increased his already heavy pay packet! You''ve got to be having a laugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted February 5, 2018 In all likelihood, it was both money and the perceived better chance of promotion that made Pritch choose Norwich over Brighton. Pritchard has never come across as anything but a highly motivated professional, and the opposite to the defined money grabber. My prediction is he''ll start the next league game and become a mainstay, whilst inspiring a run of form that will see Huddersfield safe. Bold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chip20 69 Posted February 5, 2018 I am confident Alex will be making appearances for Huddersfield very soon, and I also imagine he will be a regular starter well before the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted February 5, 2018 Pritchard has too many good qualities to not play regularly. It''s hard when your team is struggling to win games, there''s no doubt he''ll get a chance very soon and I''m sure he''ll grab it with both hands. He''s the kind of player who is destined to do well at the top level and I wish him well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted February 5, 2018 I do not doubt that Pritchard will soon be getting more game time, but I also do not doubt he will be back in the Champs next year and looking for a move to a Prem club again. I have no problem with him leaving, I rate him as a player but I think he has made the wrong choice...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2018 Pritchard started today and has scored. Huddersfield currently winning 2-1 against Bournemouth. I reckon there will be more goals though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted February 11, 2018 Think Bournemouth have more about them than Huddersfield so expect to see a 3-2 ending in Cherries favour.That and I want Pritch to end up back in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorset Canary 0 Posted February 11, 2018 I watched the second halve and from what I saw I believe Huddersfield have enough in them to stay up... That said B''mth looked woeful, so who knows.Looks like Huddersfield''s next 4/5 fixtures will make or break their season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted February 12, 2018 In terms of ''doing him down'', I assume that''s aimed at Webber''s interview when he said about Pritchard asking to leave 2 games after he''d got back into the team. Whether that was exactly what he said or not, Webber has answered a direct question about why he was sold and what it enabled the club to do in January (sign Hernandez, Srbeny and loan in Leitner). Oh, it also enabled us to keep Maddison for a little while longer, and at the rate he''s going, increase his sale price even higher for when we ''decide to sell'' (i.e. we''re not in a place where we have to sell him for financial reasons).
