Sacked at Huddersfield

Won 17, Drawn 7, Lost 12

Only won 4 games this year and are now out of the play off places.
Bolton potted Evatt a few games ago for a similar run and it has galvanised them, maybe Huddersfield hoping for the same.

That’s shame, seemed to be doing well there for a while, but they’ve certainly fallen off recently. I’m a big fan of Duff, not only a great servant but such a level headed lad. I thought he could have benefitted from staying with our coaching staff a little longer, but seemed to have been proving me wrong and building his reputation in management. Hopefully he will get another opportunity soon.

Possibly lacks a bit of charisma which can be a big thing in winning over fan bases. Not sure he was hugely popular there.

Sacked twice now at Swansea and Huddersfield - he made a big mistake leaving Barnsley

Pity.

Won’t be out of work for long. Wonder what went wrong?

Duff to Blackburn he could take em down and be an even bigger hero

Read online the level-headed Huddersfield are not blaming Duff for the run but apparently a really big injury list keeping out a lot of first team players.

I take more than a passing interest in Town as my wife and in-laws are supporters, and I go on the odd match when they have a spare ticket.

Town fans seemed split whether to stick with duff or get rid. He’s had terrible luck with injuries. They had had several injuries to key players for the past few months.

They should have stuck with Warnock. Nothing has worked since.

Did so well with Barnsley

Barnsley were absolutely cheated in the play off final against Sheff Wed

They’ve got the resources and players to dominate sides at that level yet from what I read Duff was insistent on booting it high and long.

Really poor record too. I think it’s a balance, fans will accept boring football when the results are good, the moment the results change, the support for the manager completely goes.

Half time guest this Monday.

It’ll be nice to show appreciation for a modern day Claret great.

Ohhhh. I wonder what in depth questions he’ll be asked

Perhaps he could do the Duff Dance Celebration if we win

It's the one and only Micheal Duff, I'm sure he'll get asked only the best questions, hopefully before we are seconds away from a massive second half

I can't wait for Steve Davis

Michael Duff lacked silky skills but was an excellent defender. Heading superb, however, I loved it when a winger was doing step overs and trying to dazzle Duffo with his blinding shimmy's. Duffo would just hold his position and at that certain moment, put his foot forward and toe poke it away.

Can someone sort the flipping tannoy in the BL stand so we can actually hear him please?

Steve is often in the ground as a scout at the back of the directors box Tony! I have had many a chat with him, talks as he played with class !

Steve number 2 I assume. He works for Everton I think.

He does. He was there earlier this season just prior to Nixon's story about Esteve being on Evertons radar

Last time I spoke to him at Leyland he said he was at Everton but scouts do move round a bit.

Well, in the BL stand we will never know.

Be nice to actually hear what the players say at half time but the Jimmy Mac Upper speakers are not in time with each other so you can’t hear anything ….

It really is terrible

Tony I’m sure this happened a couple of years ago, I don’t think it was Steve Davis but there was someone playing that game with the same name. Damn my memory!!

It’s like being in Guantanamo Bay in the BL these days.

Wonder if he’ll do the dance he did after a previous Sheffield Utd game?

These half time interviews are a waste of time. Imagine getting an ex pro, asking a couple of questions then off you pop. It’s pointless.

Delighted to be able to hear him today and to have another hero back at the turf. I don’t think I’ll ever lose that picture in my head of him spraying the champagne about at Wembley against today’s opponent's. Always a favourite player in our household.

Yeah they really should extend half time to an hour so they can sit down and do a Parkinson style chat show format
