A Terrier's Tale.....

Huddersfield town 1-2 Southend United

They say it isn't over until the fat lady sings, and she was well and truly warbling away when Southend wrapped up all 3 points (deservedly) at a sparsely populated Galpharm. Less than 8000 souls watched Town play cluelessly for large parts. How much more are we expected to put up with.

Southend in front on half time, Hal Robson-Kanu shooting through a crowd of statuesque Town defenders, past an unsighted Matt Glennon. Towns only effort of a pitiful first half display, a wayward Robbie Williams effort (I struggle to believe we sold GTF to buy him).

No better second half, only Andy Booth emerging with any credit, holding the ball up while the rest of the Town players seemed to have no idea what to do - then unbelievably, an equaliser - Andy Booth rising highest to head home a corner with 15 minutes left.

Would we hang on for an undeserved point - no. 93rd minute and a long punt upfield was collected by Adam McCormack, who strolled through a non-existent Town midfield to tuck away a left foot shot. No more than Town deserved. Utter garbage.

****

At least when we were bad under the auspices of Wadsworth, you could argue that the lads weren't being paid, but whats the excuse now. With falling attendances, fans with 40 or more years Town watching behind them threatening to not renew season tickets, something has to happen.

Andy Ritchie was second choice, we all know that, and he's behaving like second choice as well. I never advocated his appointment, however I was prepared to give him a chance, but the fare served up this season has been an embarrassment; furthermore you know that Ken Davy will not have the balls to do anything.

I hear a rumour that a possible takeover is on the cards again - lets hope that this time we get a positive outcome, someone who cares about Town, with some brass in his pocket to boot, and someone not too frightened to ring the changes and stop the rot.

I still don't think we will go down, 2 clubs in admin + Port Vale already gone, surely we will find at least one team who will have less points than us, but at the moment a 16th or 17th place finish in a league where we could have, and should have done better is the best we can hope for. We cannot hide behind a decent cup run. It's been a shocking season.
