With a worse team who were in a worse position, with much harder fixtures left.

I always said we had a decent run of fixtures to finish the season on and pull away from Danger.

They've won at Watford, like us. They've beaten Birmingham at home, like we did. They won at Millwall who have been floundering a bit. They had an excellent result against Middlesbrough.

We've won at Birmingham. Won a must-win at Blackpool. Beaten an in-form Bristol City when they couldn't.

I'm saying he's counting his chickens. They are one place and one point behind us having played one more game. If they're not going down, why are we?

Of course it is. One great promotion season, missed opportunities in the CHampionship afterwards and his poor signings have hamstrung us ever since. Plus the dire football.

I think that the poster is referring to the record number of promotions that he has achieved. Maybe.

Thank freck for tonight some breathing space now

Your pre game comments look particularly silly now but you still cant bring yourself to give the team or manager some praise.

What about all the other teams he has taken up or saved from relegation. They don't count I suppose ?

Warnock was appointed as Huddersfield manager on 13/02/2023. The two teams' records since then are as follows:

Huddersfield

P 12, W 4, D 4, L 4, GF 14, GA 19, Pts 16

Cardiff City

P 11, W 5, D 1, L 5, GF 15, GA 15, Pts 16

Very similar records in terms of points, but City have played less games, won one more, scored more goals and conceded fewer.

The perception that Huddersfield had much harder fixtures left is interesting considering how poor the quality of the Championship is this season. The top two are a distance clear and both sides' results against those teams are telling - Huddersfield were smashed 4-0 at Burnley, City were thumped 4-1 at Sheffield United.

There is no doubt that Huddersfield's 4-2 victory over Middlesbrough was a very creditable result as Boro were flying at the time. But, apart from that, their results have been standard Championship fare against a bunch of sides who are obviously far from great.

They were battered 4-0 at home by Coventry - a side City drew 0-0 with in December. They drew 0-0 with Bristol City - a side City had beaten 2-0 a few days earlier. They lost 1-0 at West Brom - a side City drew 1-1 with in March. They drew 1-1 with Blackburn - a side that has lost the same number of games as Rotherham this season. They won 3-2 at Watford - City won 3-1 at Watford last night. Etc, etc.

If you remove the top four, who are clearly a good bit better than the rest, there is just six points between Millwall in 5th and Swansea in 13th. I don't believe a decent result against any one of those sides is any more creditable than a result against any of the others. They are all much of a muchness.

After 46 games last season, the most any of the top six had lost was 13. Millwall and Watford have already lost 14, Norwich and Preston have lost 15, and Blackburn and Swansea have lost 16. These are not great sides in a poor division. Beating any of them is no big deal.
