"Only one team deserved something out of this game"

Dave Wagner:

"The boys left everything on the grass, and only one team deserved something out of the game.


Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner to Match of the Day on penalty decision:

"To be honest I'm not the right person to ask the question. There are four people in black and you have to ask them what was going on.

"I spoke to the linesman during the match and he said 'the first incident was not a foul and the second I don't know' but I don't know what he means. It was clearly a penalty, the video footage speaks for itself and we have not got it. It makes no sense to waste my energy for something like this, but it was a big mistake.

"I really can't find the words how this can happen. The fourth official had no idea either, he was a surprised as everyone else was. Decisions like this make tables and seasons. We have had so many decisions against us and I don't know why.

"The boys left everything on the grass, and only one team deserved something out of the game. One point is not enough, we needed to win."

Cardiff captain Sean Morrison: "We wanted to take three points but with our performance we didn't deserve to win the game and we're disappointed. Huddersfield played with a lot less pressure, it was an all-or-nothing performance from them.

"We've got better players than we have shown today and if we want to stay in the Premier League our performances need to be better and we need to create chances."

On the penalty Huddersfield were awarded before referee Lee Mason changed his mind: "From my point of view it was not a penalty. It was two or three yards before he went down. The referee gave it, spoke to a linesman and overturned."

Wagner is spot on.

Oh dear how sad never mind

Have to agree with Wagner - they were better than us - their No's 8 and 9 were the best players on show.

Annis hate to say it but wagner is right

Wagner is spot on.

Was he f**k,it was outside the box,and obviously something was spotted by linesman,thus awarding us free kick? But who gives a shit,it's done and dusted,in my eyes a shit game,and both got what was deserved,plus another point ahead of fulham

Can't disagree, they were the better team. But a draw is probably about right as both teams created hardly anything any were shocking.

As much as NW has done amazing things for our club yesterdays performance shows the lack of quality in our squad and lack of in-match ambition and game-play by our manager at this level.

Some things Warnock should be self-reflecting on:

We don't have a single recognised and available striker in a 25 man squad
None of the attacking players we spent money on in the Summer were playing yesterday
We created nothing of note at home against the team at the bottom who were on a 9 game losing streak
The players looked lethargic, tired and devoid of energy
Less 38% possession at home to Huddersfield is extremely worrying and while possession means little - at home to the worst team in the league it is indicative of lack of quality in our squad
We can't seem to string two passes together
Bringing on a League 1 striker while Murphy and Reid are on the bench was a huge gamble which didn't work
Our best player yesterday was a centre back converted to right back who must be starting in the centre... he was covering for Morrison all game who is looking very slow at this level
Tactically we were never at the races yesterday and didn't look like we could create anything

On a positive note:

3rd clean sheet in 4 games
This should add extra urgency to our recruitment campaign and not just for a striker... We are desperate for two Strikers, a energetic midfielder and a right back... I think these are minimum requirements.

I agree with Wagner, Huddersfield did deserve a win.

I watched it, plus every Sky reporter said the same.

Have to agree with Wagner, we deserved absolutely nothing.
It was though a point gained and strengthening of the squad, not just 1 player is needed this week.
It was looking so rosy after Leciester and an ideal oppurtunity to push on with new faces for the 2 six pointers ie Huddersfield and Newcastle.
Suspect Dalman knows this hence the statement issued yesterday.

Some things Warnock should be self-reflecting on:

We don't have a single recognised and available striker in a 25 man squad - if the recognised strikers are injured then how can NW be blamed?
None of the attacking players we spent money on in the Summer were playing yesterday - just because they cost big money doesn’t mean they should play if the are out of form
We created nothing of note at home against the team at the bottom who were on a 9 game losing streak - - disappointing I agree, but we have no right to turn over any Prem team. It was also a must win for them and a must not lose for us
The players looked lethargic, tired and devoid of energy - i agree
Less 38% possession at home to Huddersfield is extremely worrying and while possession means little - at home to the worst team in the league it is indicative of lack of quality in our squad - [color=#FF0000]i agree we need to strengthen [/color]
We can't seem to string two passes together - - poor performance. Every team in the league has an off day
Bringing on a League 1 striker while Murphy and Reid are on the bench was a huge gamble which didn't work - we have been crying out for a striker by trade and he was the only one available
Our best player yesterday was a centre back converted to right back who must be starting in the centre... he was covering for Morrison all game who is looking very slow at this level - - I agree that Bruno deserves to replace Morrison but that’s not going to happen until we get a decent right back in
Tactically we were never at the races yesterday and didn't look like we could create anything - you are repeating yourself, but yes I agree it was poor. NW admitted it was not good enough

On a positive note:

3rd clean sheet in 4 games
This should add extra urgency to our recruitment campaign and not just for a striker... We are desperate for two Strikers, a energetic midfielder and a right back... I think these are minimum requirements.

If Huddersfield cannot hit a barn door with a bloody banjo (so to speak) then in my view they did not deserve to win that game.
Our boys put in maximum effort but it was hoofball - they looked like they were blowing chunks at times but it must be quite tiring constantly chasing possession.
Don't see why Warnock can't attempt to play with two 'strikers' in home games such as this because 1. We're at home and 2. It may be a good way of getting us on the front foot and at least put greater pressure on the opposition defence. Every game we play our opponents know its a piece of piss to just play out from the back against us.

If I'm missing something blindly obvious tell me, but can someone explain why Healey was asked to take the long throws when surely his job is to get on the end of one in the six yard box!! Gunnarson can do it afterall.
