Huddersfield – We are mad about the boy

Image for Huddersfield – We are mad about the boy

Dinah Washington sang that she is ‘mad about the boy’ so are Huddersfield fans but for many different reasons.

Matt Glennon, Huddersfield Town goalkeeper and enigma.

After a poor first half of the season just ended and good second half form wise, and a new contract (INCREASED) contract, thanks to Stan Ternent.
Who surprisingly went against his apparent take it or leave it this is the deal I am offering policy (Rob Page) to retain Glennons services, after the stopper and his agent touted their services quite shamelessly in the media.

It seems we just are not able to make our minds up about the boy.

A majority think hes a good keeper, but it has to be said its not an insignificant minority that are not impressed.
This might be now, as much to do with his perceived lack of loyalty over the contract negotiations, as his keeping abilities.

He’s here and below our poll gives a snapshot of what a section of fans think to it.

Thanks to member NB_Chilli for attempting to resolve the issue by suggesting the poll, it seems though, that the debate will rumble on.

Glennon

Suggested By: NB-Chilli
Good 52%
OK 8%
Poor 40%

We now have a new poll

    Like someone said Glennon should open up a charity shop in the Town.1. cos hes got loads of cash and can afford to be charitable. 2. cos he has been very charitable to opposing teams on occasions

  • SingSong says:

    He needs to play like he did since Crimbo, then no problemo.

  • Town Fan 82 says:

    oh dear, he just isnt that good oh and mr andyhudd who is 15 and has fallen for the whole club pr were so great, 78 ppl voted for glennon not 2,000!!! LOL haha noone thinks he is great we need a back up keeper who is of good enough quality to step straight into the first team DEAN BRILL WOULD BE BRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS COMMONS AND PARKER COME ON DOWN!!!

  • SingSong says:

    I agree we need a keeper who can take over if needed. Maybe Smithies/Easty will improve enough to be that keeper,
    Do we have a keeping coach or does Martin do it as well as physio.

  • Eddie01 says:

    It might help if he had someone really pushing for the first team shirt, which does not seem to be the case.

  • real giant terrier says:

    glennon is great. smithies is great. we dont need any keepers, if you’ve ever been to a reserve game (which i doubt TF82 has) then you’ll see smithies is a great talent and one for the future. glennon = quality

  • Town Fan 82 says:

    read the post he isnt ready to step into the first team or challenge for the shirt which is what we need. Glennon is far from quality – maybe a quality pie eater

  • real giant terrier says:

    think about dumbo, a new keeper would mess up the system, he’d need to get to know the team so he can sort them out and shout instructions during games. you should only get a new keeper in desparate situations. for league one level glennon is more than good enough, and then we have 2 talented youngsters. there really is no point wasting time looking for a new keeper. nearly 500 minutes since he conceded. as for the pie eater thing, well, thats why i doubt you were born in 82! keepers need to be big, and hes not fat, nowadays you dont find many fat professional footballers. face it, you really are wrong and are embarrassing yourself with this one, theres been 2 polls, and you’ve lost them both by a big margin

  • Town Fan 82 says:

    I havent lost them, There are more than enough people who agree that he isnt that good, we do need back up the better teams in the legue have GK capable of stepping in.. ie Notts forest, leeds etc etc, we need a situation like when we had rachubka and glennon on the books. FYI i do go to some reserve games. I am not doubting Smithies and Eastwood they have PROMISE but are not ready to challenge for a first team place which is what we are lacking. Every other area of the team is covered and will have players challenging for the starting 11. The 2 polls have been split pretty much down the middle. U can think he is quality all you want. When he concedes 4 again and again I shall point this convo out to you

  • Joe the Ed says:

    For the record the polls are on file, anyone can view them, click top left of current poll, “view all polls”

  • Town Fan 82 says:

    it quite p1$$es me off that you think this tbh, whats wrong with him? ever been to a game? jesus christ lol ——————————————————————————————————– I could say the same about your opinion, but i dont . Because you are entitled to it, and I dont have to agree with you. I Know for a fact that im not the only fan, who does not rate glennon. The polls are on file and are not 30%-to 70%. Anyone wishing to look can feel free to do so. There are plenty of other posters on here and other message boards that do not rate him.., Like i’ve said before , you rate him I dont, end of.

  • Markymark says:

    I dont doubt you can all have your say again, I would be very surprised if Glennons keeping is not the subject of further debate and another poll, its just bound to happen sooner or later.

  • YorkshireTerrier08 says:

    Glennon…reason there is two sides to this argument is cos glennons had two sides to the sesaon…one he was completly crap the other he was outstanding.And if you look at the glass as half full youd keep him .But bringing in a new keepers wudnt be sensible…jus excitement for the fans which im guessing is what you want TF82 ;)…but dont we all 😛

  • YorkshireTerrier08 says:

    i duno if it has happened yet but i heared Lee Martin had been sacked :S just i aint seen nothin gof it in the press

  • Big Cheese says:

    YT08, answer me this then, I agree Glennon was poor then good half and half, g;ass half full, overall average, so that gets a pay rise does it????????????????????????????
    I wouldny have, nobody gets rewarded with more money for being overall average. Bad decision.

  • Town Fan 82 says:

    my thoughts are the same BC and YT08 id like any signings but i do feel we need a keeper who is capable of stepping straight into the team if needed i just feel smithies and eastwood are not there yet. They need loaning out to get practise and experience
