People need to realise that this season is a write off in all sense of the word bar 4 or 5 clubs who have a chance, the rest are all bit players. Plus with all this BLM shizzle from last week and the fact there are currently 9 SL payers testing positive for C-19 then things really need to be put in to perspective.
Just watch the season out, none of us are any worse of than we were yesterday morning, there's more important things going on in the world and on our doorstep

The major difference at Huddersfield has actually been the ability of our players in the 19-22 year age bracket to stand up when asked to play.
The Seniors, Jake Wardle, Hewitt, Sam Wood Matty English, Oliver Wilson etc and for example their ability to keep competing with a Warrington side who on paper were a better side and should have ‘stuffed us.’ especially with the injuries that we had. No ‘subs’ for the last 20 minutes.
We beat Saints away without Gaskell (injured after 4 minutes) and in four matches this season are 2/2 in games decided by two points or less.
Sezer and Gaskell are both good players but despite the publicity about Sezer we have improved more as a team in defence than just Sezer primarily due to improved ‘attitude.’ The ‘kids’ don’t know when to give up.
We benefitted from the injury crisis we had in the last two years as we were forced to blood 19/20 year olds and get some hard lessons from the better teams.
However that is now paying off with the form of the boys mentioned above ‘short term pain, long term gain’ you could do far worse if you have to do the same.
Yes you will have to watch blowouts like yesterday for example we got beat 0-44 at home by Leeds a true shocker, but the hard bit of blooding youngsters is they can’t always back up on performance week on week and us fans have to be patient during the bad games.
Think this is a very balanced view.....
I see what you're saying Vasty, but maybe that performance broke the camels back for fans who have not posted many times or not posted previously.

You may be right, certainly well written I’ll give em that.
