Terriers v Fox's

Did any of you see Choudary kick the ball at Harratt, who was lying on the floor, when the final whistle went? He was up like a shot trying to get at him. Thankfully a couple of team mates stopped him, while the Leicester Forest fella ran away.

I reckon he'd have lamped him. Doesn't look the brightest button in the box and maybe opposition players will target him in the future for this reason. He may be unknown to TV pundits, but the opposition back room teams will know all about him and what kind of numpty he is.

I thought we did ok on Saturday, plenty of hard work and looked organised. Did we deserve to win it..probably not. Did we deserve to lose..NO.

As Colin says it's another error by us that gives the opposition the winner but to be fair to Nicholls he did pull off a two or three other good saves to deny Leicester.

We still lack a cutting edge up top but according to Mr Warnock post match he will be taking a punt on a striker this week and he has two Premier League loans all lined up to join we are just waiting on the clubs to sort it out (the players have agreed to come).

Unfortunately however many good saves a keeper makes it doesn't make up for the howler, especially in his own mind. The important part is that Nicholls can put the mistake behind him and did go on to make saves.

Wakey is right, you have to carry that goal threat up front. The problem is, who in their right mind will loan you a known goal scorer? If he's likely to score for you, why wouldn't he score for them?

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi would have been the player I'd have tried for, but apparently half the Championship is after him and I've a feeling dear old Roy Hodgson might be well aware that getting him to sign a new contract for The Eagles is a priority. Leicester want him! Do they want everyone?

As for young Harratt, surely every manager and player has worked out his fallibility. Mark Hughes said he had a big personality, but when he gave him his debut he was sent off in stoppage time for an incident with the keeper and soon returned to Huddersfield, and a conviction for hare coursing hardly suggests Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness is his bedside reading.

Any idea who these players are wakey?

I'm all for punts on foreign players but feel they also either need to be highly proficient in speaking English or be able to communicate with someone in the squad.

When Wagner was here, we signed Schindler, hef, lowe and kache all who spoke English but could communicate with each other and the manager, they weren't isolated.

Atm we have one french lad who has been here a while and has a decent grasp of the language, a pole in helik and yuta who is getting better with English but I presume speaks half decent Dutch. Otherwise I'm struggling. Last thing we want is a new signing who doesn't speak a word of English and can't speak any of the other languages in the dressing room. That would be a bad punt.

That being said, I get the impression we could well end up with someone like Lyle Taylor come the end of the window. Ie someone we should have gone after 3/4 year ago

Talking of not speaking the lingo. Harry Kane trying to argue with the ref then realises he can't sprechen sie deutsch.  Laugh

There's more than a fair chance the ref can speak some English though. "Die alte deutsche" less so, though if he was to speak in the local Schwäbisch dialect, Hurry Kane wouldn't have a scooby-doo what was being said.
