Huddersfield Town 2-3 Yeovil Town

One of the worst performances I have seen from Town in years. Possibly the worst perfromance since Jacko came back. if it wasn't for Matt Glennon I could've been talking about a 2-9, or 2-10 defeat - we were garbage. Town could've been behind after 18 seconds (I counted) when Marcus Stewart (yes, that one) went close. Marcus Stewart is one of my most favourite Town players ever, and its always nice (for me anyway) to see him back (wish he still played for Town) - he had an excellent game for Yeovil, made the first and second goal (a suspicion of a foul on Murf on the build up to their second goal imo).

Mark Hudson scored a smashing goal to bring it back to 1-1, and Fletch brought it back to 2-2 with a headed goal but it still wasn't to be as Yeovil scored a third to bring doom and despair around the ground.

There was a lot of discontent amongst the fans, 3 blokes down the front of where I was sitting in the LB lower stood up to hurl abuse at Ken Davy ("...you can stick your f****** rugby club up your ar$e - we want Davy out, we want Davy out...") - the bloke sitting in front of me shouts at Jacko (at the top of his voice) "...oy Jacko - sort this shower out..." - cue Jacko to turn round hands on hips (the bloke next to the bloke in front of me goes "...oh no, here it comes - the stare!!..."), glaring up at where I was!!! I also hear there was a protest after the game as well, but I didn't hang around after the game as I went to catch my train.

I don't know what it'll take to stop the rot in all honesty, I know Tosh is back next week but whose to say he'll definately play (drop N Clarke please) and Chrissie B and Adman Ahmed are back from injury, so maybe improvement is around the corner. I never dreamed for one minute we'd be displaying relegation form (and thats what it is right now), and I know its maybe still early days but many more perfromances like this and there will be trouble.

I was accosted by three Stockport fans on the train home and they asked me about Luke Beckett - they were flabbergasted when I told him he had been benched, because they said they really rated him when he played for them. They wondered whether it was Pav that was keeping him out of the team - and when I told them that actually it was Boothy that was keeping him out they couldn't believe it!!! I'm not surprised.

Sorry if I'm rambling a bit today, but I've got a lot to get off my chest. I should've guessed today would turn out rubbish when Jacko says in his programme notes "...we are not doing a lot wrong, if we take our chances someone is due a hiding...". I love Jacko to bits, as you all know, but even I get annoyed when he comes out with that. He makes himself look a right numpty at times. And what do you make of this:

Jacko's Post Match comments (written)

When he says the good outweighed the bad, well, words fail me!!! At the end of the day (at the risk of being labelled a Jacko fan and not a Town fan) Peter gets my support no matter what, and as angry as I am at such a shocking performance I still stand by that and always will. We will improve, I know it, this season is not over by a long way.

I have already booked off the Saturday for the Bournemouth game in two weeks time (booked it ages ago) so I will be there no matter what, and you won't here me shouting Jackson out neither. Davy out possibly, but not Jacko out.
TOWN 4 EVER
