TVC - have we not had a luck discussion before you and I?Nope don't watch Huddersfield, but saw them a on TV last season and looked to play the right way.
Great acheivment keeping them up at the first time of asking.
You can only beat ( or draw ) with what's infront of you. People think it's lucky playing 3 big sides in your last 3, City crushed West Ham and Chelsea still had 4th in their sights. Hardly ever a good time to play any of the big 6, to get 2 draws at the places to stay up is good going.
I have never said I'm unsatisfied with 7th, it's incredible.
However when I think a player or performance is under par I will make my opinion known. Yes they'll be bumps in the road, doesn't mean you have to enjoy them. Accept yes, enjoy no.
I don't rate Hendrick, I back him, I praise when plays well, however "as a number 10" he is poor, and I can't see what he offers.
As for Long, he just isn't good enough to play regular games at this level. He couldn't get a game in the championship, yet people believe he is a premier league player now.
Do some people live in a world where criticism is band and everything is rosey all the time. People can play poorly.
I know when I had a poor day at work or messed up my boss used to give me pelters.
Yes we did - Huddersfield have definitely had a good degree of luck in last few weeks...luck in games when they have been completely dominated and luck with other results from teams at the bottom. But as I have said they have still done brilliant and I like Wagner.
Would you seriously swap Wagner for Dyche ? As I am not sure what point you are actually making here.
As for Long why do you keep on referring to a championship season when we had Keane, Mee and Tarks all in front of Long and all fit ? How do you know how he would have done in the championship if 2 of those had picked up injuries ? He had also developed as a player by playing in Premier League.
To say he is not good enough for the championship is just stupid given he had 3 potential England players in front of him
