I watch Bundesliga 2 a bit. It's a pretty good standard.

We've played Taffs Well in the past. What's your point?

Didn't see all of it but it seemed your usual Bulutball. Not much created early on, then opened up later and capitalised. Did alright and we'll probably do alright next season but it'll be an incremental improvement if any.

Did seem to follow a similar pattern to previous season.
Not many chances but did find the equaliser.
Not a great goal to give away, McGuiness beaten to the cross

Seemed to be a feeling that it was offside, McGuiness was appealing for it

Thought Horvarth was a bit slow to react as well. Messy goal to concede.

Though a 1-0 home defeat to a crap side, a comeback win, and a late, late goal sounds a bit like normal service has been resumed!

Collins and Isaac both went off with what looked like hammy injuries. Tanner pretty anonymous, as was Ng.
Ramsey had decent hour or so, as did Sio. Perhaps stand out performances came with subs. Willock v dangerous, Rubin caused problems and Robbo looked sharp and got the goal.

We looked much more dangerous once Rubin Colwill came on, whether this was all down to him or Hertha, maybe, tiring because some of their team were playing their second game of the day, I don’t know - it was one of those games we would have gone on to win probably if it had lasted ten minutres longer.

The two stadiums were a hour's drive apart!

Well, if those Huddersfield fans were able to make it to our game, some members of the Hertha party might have as well. Hertha seemed to run out of steam in the closing stages and yet they're, apparently, starting their league programme next weekend.

Re: FT: HERTHA BERLIN 1 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I was having a look at last season's Bundesliga 2 table earlier.
Hertha Berlin finished 9th of 18 sides in the division. The largest attendance during 2023/24 was 69,156, when Hertha played at home to Schalke 04, who finished 10th. That's an incredible crowd under the circumstances.
Even if any of our stadiums had the capacity, I can't imagine almost 70,000 turning out for a mid-table Championship game.

There are so many positives about the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2. It's just such a pity that Bayern are so dominant in the top flight.

I saw Hertha play on three occasions when they were in the Bundesliga. It was great experience on each occasion, brilliant fun. However, the football itself didn't feel like it was of a great standard. In fairness, I didn't see Hertha play any of the top teams, but the football still seemed to be a good way short of what you'd expect in the English top flight.

I went to a Hertha/Bayern Munich game about 7 years ago. It was a nice day, weather wise, and the experience outside the ground was very good, like a pop up village of bars, fast food stalls etc. Bayern cantered to a 2-0 win but I found it strange that there wasn’t any disquiet among the home fans, no catcalling, no criticising their players. Their ‘singing section’ just carried on with their choreographed singing and flag waving as if the game itself was a sideshow to their performance.

I go maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Next time, try around blocks 30-32. You will find almost everyone there in tune with the game and giving the team dog's abuse when they are poor. There's been a lot of that in the last few seasons.
