Hilarious.

Stop reading The ****.

But its Alan Nixon and we all know his word is law

What a load of absolute nonsense.

If you actually look at the starting 11 against reading it still had:

Roberts
Beyer
Taylor
Cullen
Johan
Benson
Tella

Who have all played 25+ games this season so can hardly say it’s a weakens team

Would you be disappointed to have another season in this league with this team?

It’s over for me, I’m away for work on the final game and the Rovers game but so gutted that I won’t see us win the league.

It’s amazing that we have bounced back considering all the changes but I’m really not excited about the premier league.

'Under investigation' as in...

*prints out email, showed it around the office*
"Clive, look at this"
"hmm"
"what's happening?"
"Huddersfield said Burnley played a weakened team"
"let us see"
"Janet, what's it say?"
"says Burnley played a weak team"
"did they?"
"dunno"
"tell Pete, will you, tell him Huddersfield complained about summat"
"will do"
"put it in the paper tray for now, we'll get the work experience lad to email them back when we're quiet"
"bless 'em, God loves a trier"
"anyone fancy another brew"
"that'd be lovely, Jan"

From the team that started Sheff Utd, Roberts, Beyer, Cullen & Foster started the next game against Reading

I thought there was a rule that said you needed to play a certain number of players from the previous game, but I can’t find what that is

Surely today served as a reminder as to what an absolute slog this league can be. Bring on the PL.

To be fair we have completely made a mockery of the integrity of the EFL this season by competing in it.

Tella started against reading to that’s still 6 of the same team

We made 5 changes today from the 11 that started against Rotherham

Proof, if it were ever needed, that nixon gets all his burnley news from reading this board.

That only makes 5

Ironically, then I’ve tried to find what’s classed a weakend, this article comes up

https://talksport.com/football/235842/h ... finalists/

PNE complain to the EFL because Huddersfield were 2 up against Blackburn and didn't hold on to win

Found it

From the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a League game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the League game before.

So from the Sheff Utd game
Roberts
Bayer
Cullen
Cork
Tella
Barnes
Foster
JBG
Benson
Taylor
Bastien
Vitinho

Were all named in the Reading squad. No case to answer

Hope Cardiff need a result against us to relegate Huddersfield on the last day

Play the kids v Cardiff would be my answer to that

never heard such nonsense. This has Warnock written all over it.

Some of the players we brought in, Foster £8m, Twine £4m, Al Dakhil £3m, Benson £3m, Churlinov who came on early -£3m.

People are saying this is Warnock's doing but don't forget Dave Baldwin is the Managing Director who I assume would have had to offically sanction the complaint.

Is this the same Huddersfield Town that in 2017, made 10 changes against relegation threatened Birmingham? Think they were saving players for the play offs. Lost the game 2-0 (amusingly that was to the detriment of Blackburn). I wonder if they were as outraged then as they are now?

Hypocrisy of the highest order

“Investigation” sounds like an exaggeration in light of the rules others have shared.

Complaint made. EFL quickly compare two team sheets. Complaint dismissed.

Could we complain to the EFL about QPRs antics yesterday with their blatant cheating and time wasting.After all as fans we are paying to watch a full game of football

This is comedy gold from Huddersfield, and as Burnley fans know from bitter recent memories it's folly to rely on others to help you out in a relegation battle.

Old Colin should have been investigated for match fixing when he basically gave us the points before the game at the turf. Would have been interesting to see any betting patterns particularly on the handicap markets after he waved his oversize white undies attached to a pole during his pre match grovel fest.

So are we allowed to write to the EFL complaining that Rovers put out a hopelessly weak team every game ?

5 changes yesterday from or game at Rotherham but they aren’t complaining about that just complaining about an extra change for the reading game, who are Huddersfield to say who is classed as a ‘weakened team’ for another team, it’s disrespectful to the players

Look, if I was a team that got to the play off final last year, sold all its players, recruited a pile of crap and had a dreadful season so bad they had to turn to Warnock to try to save them, then I'd accuse the runaway league leaders of match fixing as well

Can we complain about them “resting” players against us and then winning their next match?

Losing at home to Cardiff now holds the potential to be VERY funny.

So, Huddersfield are now telling VK whst his best team is are they? How can they sustain that argument when all of the players had already featured in previous games.

There was a feature on social media saying that the Sun had no more than 3 years left based upon their current forecasts. Let's try and see if we can get that down to 12 months.

Has there been one single positive report or article from any media outlet since we clinched promotion at Boro? If it’s not stories about Kompany leaving or about him getting sacked if we don’t start well, muric bar bill and now this with Huddersfield. Meant to be able to enjoy being promoted and all it’s been since then is negative stories

On balance, I’m still more worried about getting a points penalty for our inability to post financial statements within a reasonable timeframe than I am about this.

Would much rather see Cardiff go down than Huddersfield.

The EFL should fine Huddersfield for making a frivolous complaint. They haven’t read the rule or checked our team sheets.

No one likes us,we don't care

Thought being promoted so early would be enjoyable buts it’s actually made the last 2 week draining

Stoke made 6 changes against Wigan midweek and lost, EFL are going to need to be very careful

Both Huddersfield and Reading should be fined for frivolous accusations.

What’s more worrying is the manner in which football is now using legal action so freely.

Absolutely.

I wanted them to stay up, but after the ridiculous rubbish coming from Huddersfield I now hope they go down. Always silly results time at this stage of a season and upsets happen.

Obviously this is complete rubbish. But there’s a whiff of hypocrisy coming from our fans, some of who I recall questioning Brentford’s commitment and integrity in their final game of last season against Leeds.

Let’s face it, Huddersfield have been disadvantaged by the timing of their fixtures against us compared to their rivals. That’s the luck of the draw though.

No such penalty for that offence...relax

Very odd. Perhaps an attempt to put pressure on Kompany to play a full(er) strength team vs Cardiff

“Burnley have bought the league, their team is too strong”

“Burnley’s team wasn’t strong enough that game”

Warnock more or less said he wasn't bothered about the Burnley game as it wasn't going to define their season like the games they had after our meeting. Surely that's akin to the same thing. Giving up before the game has even started. Desperate warnock, man's a prick.

In the normal course of events, you might expect our " friends " from Ewood to be enjoying this nonsense ....

However, in 2016-17, once a play-off place was achieved, Huddersfield made 10 changes for their penultimate game of the season, away at Birmingham City. In the event, Birmingham won 2-0, and they finished 2 points clear of Blackburn .... if Huddersfield had won, Rovers would have stayed up on goal difference, a fact they have not been slow to point out over on their forum ...

I suspect our opinion on " Colin " is one thing that unites most fans ....

Huddersfield Town fan in peace:

If it helps, most Town fans think it's bloody ridiculous as well. You have a squad, you have the right to utilise it however you see fit. TBH I can't help but admire the shithousery of winning the title at Ewood Park.

Congratulations on promotion. Well deserved, and if we do end up relegated then it's nothing to do with you and everything to do with the fact we were utter garbage for the first 75% of the season.

Best of luck next season. Especially in the games against Leeds and Forest if they stay up.
