Ablett’s Reaction To Terriers Mauling

Gary Ablett struggled to find the words after his side completely disintegrated into nothingness as Huddersfield ran riot at Edgeley Park.

The Scouser questioned himself and his staff after Town sealed their place in the play-offs with a humiliating 6-0 win…

”We’ve said the same thing after every game for 4-6 weeks now and it’s not had the desired effect.’

‘The players don’t seem to be able to motivate themselves or each other and certainly the staff you would say have failed to motivate them as we haven’t had a level of performance that’s been acceptable.’

The fans that were left at Edgeley Park to see Huddersfield invade the pitch at the final whistle completely turned against the 44-year-old with chants of ‘Jimmy Gannon’s Blue ‘n’ White Army’ etcetera.

And I joined in. I knew it was wrong. But I couldn’t help it. Who can blame us?

Who can blame us for wanting the return of one of our greatest managers who shouldn’t have even been removed in the first place?

Who could blame us, as one of our greatest – if not the greatest – management teams we’ve ever had sat and watched on from the Main Stand as Huddersfield took the absolute p*ss out of one of the laziest, most disinterested County sides I’ve ever seen?

Ablett was pretty frank in his post-match interview to be fair, and it goes without saying that I feel for him, but he’s just not our man.

And the people have spoken.

Here’s to you, Jimmy Gannon.
