Should we really hope to beat the 'old lady'? (I didn't hitherto know of that epithet).
Maybe we should have played them at Nininan.

By the way, 'Kaiserwinkl' doesn't mean 'cheesy winkle', Sludge. :-)

Lets hope Robinson and Joel continue to show thier promise again.

They've played like old ladies for the last couple of seasons too.

Such a pity this isn't a competitive match between my UK and German teams. I've often wondered how they'd shape up against each other.

Both new signings on the bench.

Huddersfield 2 Hertha 1 in their first game

C'mon City continue our march on Germany.

Hertha are saving their big guns for us (no reference to past conflicts intended).

1-0 hertha

Hopefully get to see Willock & Chambers at some point

Walking off - but that's Davies and Collins both with injuries.

That's a plus, Europe is a porn utopia.

Another goal for Robinson - a deserved equakiser.

he's had a good preseason

Enjoyed that. Good workout and deserved draw.
Willock looked very sharp in 15mins he was on.
Isaac looks as if he's done his hammy.

the dizzy heights of german league 2. PL here we come!

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.

it's a mistake to read anything into pre season games

Any more info on this game chaps? Any decent performances etc?

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.
