Match Thread - Huddersfield v VK’s mighty Clarets (ONE YEAR ON)

[warksclaret]

Was apprehensive before the game but struggling o take that in.Was sublime

[Tribesmen]

Top stuff i have to say

[Bosscat]

Well done Steve on the Tinned Food Count (even if 2mls out doesn't score points) successful Quiz night 8 teams £54 taken for the play your cards right and the Roll Over won ... in all a very good night

[Sunny Cornwall]

Loved it loved it loved it. A dream come true. Our players can, CAN pass to each other! Who’d have thought it?

[Hibsclaret]

Let's hope Muric doesn't have any crazy keeper moments playing so high up the pitch

I reckon there’ll be one or two but if you want to play that way you take the rough with the smooth.

[bfcmik]

Surprised how little abuse there was for Rhodes when he came on but I have to admit to some nerves that he would do his B*****d trick of scoring against us. Don't think he even got a touch!

[drdree]

Great to aee our goalkeeper further forward than our defenders at times tonight

[KRBFC]

That was simply sublime, proper football that. high press, energetic, quality, composed, flying forward, fluid. Brilliant stuff, now add a striker and O'Hare and we're a scary scary side at this level.

[Hibsclaret]

Incredible performance for a team with 6 debutants. 72% possession. It will be interesting to see how good we can be when everyone settles in.

[Tribesmen]

Good win for us

[Hibsclaret]

Great to aee our goalkeeper further forward than our defenders at times tonight

Yep. It’s like a centre half tbh.

[NewClaret]

Yes imagine being O’Hare watching this, licking his lips for that space in between the lines

Reckon O’Hare will be delivering a transfer request tomorrow

[Duffer_]

in nearly 40 years of watching us I'm struggling to recall a better first half than that

Maybe home to Forest, or away at Brentford but, yes, it was excellent.

[Quicknick]

Great start to the season. And that's before our team is finalised.

[clarethomer]

Gonna get easier to sign players after that

[4:20]

I'm absolutely blown away by that performance, what an absolute joy to watch. Sorry, had a few. Magical football that first half. I got goosebumps.

O’Hare must be watching that thinking I want a bit of this.

We need to make that happen next week.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Can't believe it, Sky talking about us more than the opposition.

[KingVince]

As you might see from my nickname, i am e Belgian football-and Anderlechtfan who would like to follow Vincent Kompany a ltittle bit. As i was curious i watched the game and i was delighted to see that first half performance! How do you feel about it? Did you expect this after how preparation went?
Do you have any more players incoming or transfers who will be announced soon?

Really can’t understand the point in such abuse.
I’ve supported BFC for over 50 years now. And for me, it’s a positive experience ( we’ll, most of the time…). Why waste energy on negative thoughts and behaviour toward someone who USED to play for our “deadly rivals”? Support your own team.

[Loyal Supporter]

in nearly 40 years of watching us I'm struggling to recall a better first half than that

Forest at home. Derby at home. Chelsea away, just off the top of my head.

[joey13]

Can’t fault that , very impressive.

[Papabendi]

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

[Vegas Claret]

Forest at home. Derby at home. Chelsea away, just off the top of my head.

all with experienced players in established teams so slightly different imho.

[DCWat]

That was simply sublime, proper football that. high press, energetic, quality, composed, flying forward, fluid. Brilliant stuff, now add a striker and O'Hare and we're a scary scary side at this level.

A quick striker would be dynamite in that system. Harsh to say it because Barnes was superb tonight.

[jackmiggins]

Best I’ve seen us play since 1973. WOW

[Hibsclaret]

O’Hare must be watching that thinking I want a bit of this.

We need to make that happen next week.

That’s a great point. I reckon we can nick one or two who will be impressed with that. Let’s hope we can get a couple with the McNeil and Cornet cash. Looks like Vincent had a good eye for a player and is clearly a big draw.

[Belgianclaret]

Vitinho will also flourish in the position he was brought in

[Longsider]

Superb. I watched that game and felt for Huddersfield. They were like us in previous years when teams of pure footballing quality have played us off the park. God we were good tonight. Just need a tasty hungry striker now.

[FCBurnley]

I 100% expected us to be well beaten today. Having a Big slice of humble pie for dinner

[MancunianClaret]

More total passes and completed passes than any game in the Championship last season? Did I hear that right?

[Vegas Claret]

That was simply sublime, proper football that. high press, energetic, quality, composed, flying forward, fluid. Brilliant stuff, now add a striker and O'Hare and we're a scary scary side at this level.

blown away by that first half, way more than I was hoping to see tbh. Speedy striker and it will take good sides to beat us

[4:20]

When folk are saying that's the best performance they've seen since the early 70s, I bet they're not bullsheißering.

[Gordaleman]

A quick striker would be dynamite in that system. Harsh to say it because Barnes was superb tonight.

Let's give Vyds a new contract then. He'd be perfect.

[Jakubclaret]

A wins a win & putting Huddersfield to the sword felt super good & I’m hard to please. Everybody involved deserve a huge amount of credit.

[warksclaret]

Huddersfield performed like we did in the majority of games last year.

[Stayingup]

need to buy a poacher strker

Or find a way to keep Maxwel

[ClaretCliff]

Sensational-the best we have played since the Coyle era. The championship's version of Man City. How cool is Miuric

Saw the stats for tonight and said that like us against City - but in reverse! Fantastic.

[Stayingup]

Like my crowd said after. How good or are poor are Huddersfield. You can only play whats in front of you we played them off the park mostly and with Maxwel in we would possibly have had about four.

The possession stats etc is something that has astounded me. I'm going to have to get used to this!!! Never mind.

[California Colner]

Does anyone want talk about Dyche?

[scouseclaret]

Or find a way to keep Maxwel

There’s a promising youngster called McNeil scored twice for Everton tonight

[Jakubclaret]

We’ll be there or thereabouts I think it’s a really poor division to be honest. We have something to look forward to this season in a lower league but at the opposite end with promotion aspirations still early days but promising signs due to the dross.

[KRBFC]

Desperately need a striker, Barnes was decent but the way we played a pacey striker would've had an absolute field day. 2016 Andre Gray scores 2 in the first half.

yep agree, although I thought Barnes made some really intelligent runs and did very well for us tonight. Not sure who we could get though

[Burnleyareback2]

From the TV

I don’t know what I have been watching tonight. It could of been the unicorn of total football. I don’t know.

[Rileybobs]

Wow. Absolutely gobsmacked, by that first half display in particular. Not in my wildest dreams did I think this team would click so quickly. Such confidence on the ball and energy. Gives me a lot more positivity going into the rest of the season.

Hi and welcome to the board. Its fine to ask questions and your English is fine!

I’d say the vast majority would say that was pretty amazing and certainly exceeded expectations.
There’s talk of more signings. VK seemed pretty confident more would be coming.

Very happy fans here last night and this morning!

Your English is better than my Dutch.

Don’t think anyone was sure what to expect before the game and the results in pre-season didn’t really give us the impression that we would have seen the performance we saw last night.

More players will need to come in so yes we expect to see some further announcements. May see some leave too.

How did you find the game last night compared to what you saw when he was at Anderlecht?

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Let’s hope every game today is a draw then we stay top!
