[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

Norwich should sign this Pat Jones kid who has come on and changed the game for Huddersfield.

might not get relegated but will do our best with this defence

Remember when there were rumours that Premier League teams wanted Hanley?

Lol.

Not easy to be backed up 1 v 1.  Don't think he did much wrong, credit to the young lad who scored.

[robertociNCFC 98]

I just had a revelation, perhaps they are trying to invoke the spirit of the 18/19 season where we made nearly every game nervy...no just me?

[crab man 164]

Smith out! The bloke doesn't have a clue.

Why have we brought on 5 attacking subs at 2-0 up?  Why not Gibson on at left back, kenny into midfield along side Gibbs?

Maybe Smith is confident we'll outplay them. Just a thought.

STOP BACKING OFF. FFS

Not just the backing off but the mad idea by an international defender not to shepherd him outside...almost showed him a path to goal.

Truly shocking

Just backed off and off and off and off. Played perfectly into the attackers hands.

I mean, why not!

Because then we'd be 3-2 down 

I'm not sure that's how that would play out, but fair enough.  I wouldn't have made the subs Smith did, unless there were other factors like injury to contend with that we don't know about at the moment.

Did you see that young Scottish fella who ran the game against England ?

[Drazen Muzinic 1,446]

Still trying to walk it in. Game should've been put to bed around the hour mark

I hear he's like prime Zidane. Maybe we should put a cheeky loan bid in, we'd obviously be lucky to have him grace our turf

Maybe Smith just too unlucky

Probably thought he had no left foot.  Won't make that mistake again I imagine.

[AJ 1,224]

We cannot continue to be this poor in front of goal if we want to be towards the top of this League

I wish Rashica could cross a ball, he'd be half decent if he could.

Doesn't seem tactically smart, imo - 2 holding midfielders way less likely to get caught on the break against 10 men if you tell them both to sit.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,400]

He’s flawed but I like him- Onel Hernandez 

[pete 319]

Smith proves tactical naivety

Then you really don't want to be putting McLean in there

I appreciate that , my point was he didn't want to hold what we have, he wants to go at them. Right or wrong, his call. 

Edit After final whistle. He was Right, we won.

Pretty much all our defensive-minded players are injured, tbf.

[Samwam27 531]

A win is a win!!!!!!!

[king canary 7,617]

A wins a win but clearly made it harder than it should have been in the end.

Still feels like when we get Hayden in and Sara up and running we'll be looking strong.

[robertociNCFC 98]

A win!???!!!!!????? 

Apart from the defending things are starting to click I feel, game really should've been out of sight after the first 30 but that's 3 points on the board.
