Can we please just give Hamilton a feckin run out . Maybe I imagined how well he played last time he got a game. The game is crying out for someone to take on a fullback.

Just noticed no Phillips in the squad!

Does that mean he is on his way?

I’m sure I read he’s been hit by a virus

Kenny Cunningham on point here; "a soulless performance from City", "they've sucked the atmosphere from the stadium"

2-0 up and coasting with several fringe players.
Atmosphere isn’t the best but what the fuck are people expecting?
I get it’s not exciting to watch but for us it’s just going to the next round with no fuss. We aren’t always here to entertain.

Don't want him cup tied, reduces his value, I am struggling to not laugh at the value bit.

Surely Huddersfield are going to set up the same way in the second half for damage limitation and keep the scoreline respectable? If so expect another borefest

They would get destroyed if they tried to match us toe to toe

He is Ill apparently which in football terms translates to we don’t want him cup tied

Hate playing against this defensive line. Last few games have all been the same, no space, packed defence, hope to hit us on the break. It makes for a dull game mostly. We did really well for our two goals. Don't let anyone coming back from an injury anywhere near this lot. Keep the same side, try and get another, maybe bring on Walker and a couple of the kids if we do.

Hello...

Don't dare get injured, or tackled City players.

You'll be booed quite vigorously by the not weird at all Huddersfield supporters.
