Wainy316 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just realised they have 5 points less than we did at this point in our relegation season. Hopefully we can go from the 3rd worse Premier League side of all time to the 4th. May be worth noting that we only got 1 more point from the final 12 games though. Ugh.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2019 25th November was the last time they won a game, 2-0 away against Wolves. Since then they’ve drawn once and lost twelve and been dumped out of her cup by Bristol. Horrendous. Over the next six or so weeks they have Newcastle, Wolves, Brighton, Bournemouth, West Ham, Palace and Leicester. If they don’t pick up a few draws from that lot, then they’ll probably fall short of our mighty total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 They were 6/4 4th favourites to go down at the start of season which I thought was mad. They were always going to struggle badly this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I can't see them being a major threat next year. Best thing for us if they Fulham and Cardiff came down next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Fulham spent 100m + they must've been ranked ahead of Huddersfield. Curious who the three teams were if you can remember, Cardiff one for sure.

Southampton with Hughes I imagine and maybe Brighton, Burnley or Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough a dip would be expected from that but from what I saw most pundits pre season predictions were for them to finish top half still so would be surprised if they were rated as more relegation fodder than Huddersfield. Last season Huddersfield gained majority of points to keep them up before xmas. They ended the season with about 2 wins in 15 games so tough next season when you start to get found out at prem level. Similar to when Hull first came up under Phil Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Those were generous odds on Southampton. After a good first couple of years they've become the Southampton of the 90s. Relegation fodder every season but somehow surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninety-three days, 13 league defeats, one draw and third round cup elimination since their last win which was against Wolves, Huddersfield win another game...which was against Wolves. Maybe the symmetry of it will be of some comfort to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) They just love playing Wolves: They've taken 44 of the past 54 points available against Wolves going back 20 odd years. It's almost as one sided as Chelsea vs Spurs was pre Pochettino. Edited February 26, 2019 by The_Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
