Anderson to collect his P 45 ? poll : Sun Apr 03, 2016 4:46 pm  

Well it is clear now that our ambitions for this season lie in playing in the middle 8s and possibly a cup run.
Personally I hope we go out in the first round of the cup because their is in my view only one target which is to avoid the million pound game.
If we get relagated then Huddersfield will never rise again.

The issue is is Anderson the right man to lead us through the 8s.

I have some sympathy for him as there have been failings at the club in my view for a number of years which are not due to him .

BUT

we need new leadership to give the players some spark and motivation.

Wakey did it twice last year with Smith and this year with Chester and it appeared to work.

W are likely to finish bottom so will have a harder task than the other SL teams.

We only need one bad reffing performance in the Million pound game and we are history.

We need a coach in now to motivate , train and possibly recruit players that can keep us up.

There are 8 weeks or so to the 8s we need to be ready.

Time to get a new coach in now.

Hudds fans i would like you to make a comment to avoid Trolls playing games.

Sorry, didn't realise the question was limited to Huddersfield supporters.
My reasoning is that last year you finished in the top four.
After nine games if this season you are rooted to the bottom of the league.

If you just hang on to him for one more week that would be grand.

In all seriousness though, for you to achieve what you have in recent years he's obviously no mug. You might be all but consigned to the middle 8's, but they are what, 4 months away yet? Time is on your side and I wouldn't make any rash decisions yet. Give him another month or two to see if you can start make improvements, and if you don't, you'll still have plenty of time to make a change ahead of the middle 8's.

To be honest ,I just don't know.

Re: Anderson to collect his P 45 ? : Sun Apr 03, 2016 6:14 pm  

We're going nowhere fast, we,ve been gradually been going downhill from the end of last season. Loss of good/decent players (Ferres and Hughes, obvious choices) hasn't helped the cause and early season injuries hasn't helped either. But our decision to go into the season with such a lightweight squad was a big gamble by Anderson, he must have been happy to go into the season with the squad he'd assembled and his gamble has backfired BIG style. We've learnt nothing from last seasons ability/liability of giving away soft possession, stupid pens, missed tackles, poor passing options and the number of knock ons etc, etc, results in us giving tries away for fun, and we've shown we're more than capable of losing games we should have won on several occasions. We've gone from best to probably worst defence in SL in less than 12 months, WTF is happening. Just my opinion, but if the coach can't rectify some of these things fairly easily then it's time to go. I think he took over a very good squad of players, but unfortunately he hasn't shown any ability to take us that step further, we're going downhill fast. Perhaps a call to Brett Hodgson might be a good shout, he was certainly a good organisor in his time as a player and perhaps a bit of Tony Smith might have rubbed off on him.
What will be will be, but I won't lose any sleep if he goes.

still time for anderson as he has had problems out of his hands

but it cant go on like this for sure

defence is a massive problem at the moment and purtell is in charge of that

Re: Anderson to collect his P 45 ? : Sun Apr 03, 2016 6:24 pm  

Went with yes ,I'm afraid I do think it's time ,I just hope if it happens that there is the right person for the job waiting behind the scenes.

Voted no - today being a good example why - we got 8 in front with 20 or so to go - lost count of the errors we made after that - all Down to silly mistakes - can't blame PA for that. Who else is available anyway?
Stick with him I say - bet he is just as frustrated as the rest of is.

Yup time to go cant afford anymore time, need fresh blood in to kick arses and get em playing as a team again instead of individuals, facts:
Finished in top 4 last few years that said have bottled in play offs last few years even after been most consistent team in 2013. Look lost in attack still and poor in defence, taken us as far as he can imo and time for change.
