Hi I am a Huddersfield fan.
Some of the comments on here about us been so defensive are ridiculous.
We are not like the other teams in this league and just roll over for you all just because you are "bigger" and "better" than us
Every manager in the league has a game plan for every game.

Dont know how you cant say against City in 2 games last season you werent defensives, as Huddersfield put 5 even 6 defenders across the 18 yard line. This is the perogative of your manager and club. Staying up for Huddersfield is probably the equivalent of City winning the league.

Who said anything about “bigger” and “better”?

It is an observation to be made that Huddersfield were one of the most defensive minded teams and had the fewest shots on our goal of any team we played all season. It’s our job to break that down but we’re not going to ignore it and wonder why we had a crick in our necks after our games with you.

In the second half at your place last season you had 37 passes of the ball and we had 336. You had 12 in our half, 1 in the last third and 0 in our box and 0 shots in the half and 0 shots on target all game. That’s a talking point that not only City fans made a thing of post-game.

It’s nothing to do with how good we are. It was a talking point for us when we played Boro about twelve years ago: we mullered them, hit the bar, hit the post, had one cleared off the line, had all the attacking play, they had no shots all game and won 0-1 with a Sun Ji Hai own goal...

There’s nowt wrong with anything you did, I enjoy a good defensive display like we had for Mancini’s first season with us, but don’t expect it to not be the main talking point in the run up in playing you again.
