    Typical fan response. If everything and everyone isn't signed within the first week there's uproar. I'm glad we waited and got Craig instead of signing someone less talented but 2 weeks earlier. There's so many variables to consider, especially when clubs have euros etc on. West Ham sign X player after Euros and his holiday, so allow Y player to go on loan to Stoke, to then allow Z player from Stoke to go on loan to Barnsley and then we do the same. I actually think some fans just think its like the fifa video games.

    I read it and thought it was a Barnsley tweet until I got to the bottom and realised that instead of JAQ getting bashed, it was an actual American!

    Thought they’d got Joe Taylor on loan from Luton? He’d be a top signing for us.

    Huddersfield have been propped up for years by their owners. If you think we're reliant on our owners, you should have a look at their figures.

    Already bad enough and they had all that debt written off by the previous owner. I'm sure it was something stupid like £40m.

    So for one of their fans to be having a go at their owners for essentially lack of investment, is slightly rich.

    How much are we hoping or expecting to spend though on the striker, who if he does join us, will be effectively replacing Cole ?.

    I actually thought man v man our defenders did ok; some decent tackles and headers won.
    But a decent ball in behind or over the top and we are so flat footed and static it's frightening.

    Always baffles me how certain traits stick for years, no matter how many personnel changes.

    He came on and scored the only goal of the game.

    That'll be another 100k added to his price then

    Nigel Clough really singing his praises after the match too. Says he's a precious commodity at L1 level.

    Course he is. Be amazed if we sign him. Clubs just don’t let top scorers leave unless the fee is over the odds. No way we’re paying that.

    They could let his contract run out and then get nowt don’t think Mansfield can afford to do that.not saying it will be us that sign him .
