Hard to say, they're only 3 points off 11th. They are really struggling to score though. 

They were like that last season. Heaps of 1 goal wins.

But this season there isn't a certainty to drop which normally by feb you'd have at least 1 lock and as many as 10 teams are all legitimate candidates for relegation. A win now is massive.

Not hearing too much on Mooy now. Huddersfield looking increasingly like returning to the Championship.

I was thinking the same thing. They’ve lost all momentum whilst their rivals have it.

This is the problem for the little clubs with thin squads. Come February their quality is tired and they have no where else to turn.

Mooy is looking tired, no break last season because of the Confed Cup, he'll be cooked by the World Cup

Robbie Slater et al were predicting this. Those 4 bonus games with enormous travel were going to take an extra toll.

West Ham United are reportedly interested in an off-season move for Huddersfield's Socceroos midfielder Aaron Mooy, according to The Times.

Mooy has made 37 appearances in all competitions for the Terriers, helping them seal their Premier League status earlier this week.

However, West Ham, who also only recently confirmed their top flight status, are reportedly keen to pry the Australian away from John Smith's Stadium.

Hammers boss David Moyes previously tried to sign Mooy when he was at Sunderland, when the 27-year-old's loan with Town expired, only for him to make his stay permanent.

Mooy currently has two years remaining on his Huddersfield contract and is understood to be their highest paid player.

According to The Times, West Ham have the financial power to potentially double Mooy's current salary and are in the market for a central midfielder.

Speaking about Huddersfield's survival, Mooy said: "I definitely have emotions attached to the club because of last season.

"They were tipping us for relegation and we got promoted ... it was amazing and now to survive in the Premier League, it's been made even better.

"It's so big for the club financially and it keeps all the buzz going both around the town and at the club.

"It means the club will be able to build up and get a new training ground, stuff that can make us stronger into the future."

Just a trip down memory lane lads. 

In the 15/16 season this bloke scored 11 goals and had 20 assists, arguably the best season in A-league history. 

Bruno scored 23 goals, 7 assists AND scored 2 in the elimination final... against Perth. 

 

....Castro wins the JW medal with 13 goals, 6 assists. 

I'm still saltier than a Turkish breakfast.

True, but I think Castro benefitted from being a standout in a pretty pedestrian team and so monopolised the Perth Glory votes. Mooy played in the holy trinity and so shared the City votes.

Castro didn't even bother to turn up and collect his award.

Showing that the voting system is flawed?

Actually the voting system that season was a player led vote, and they voted 3 times, at rounds 9, 18 & 27.

Castro started shit and basically didnt poll in the first block but took full points in the second two phases. It was enough to pip both Bruno and Mooy who were a smidgen behind.

Wierd system tbh but nevertheless, guess he was effectively the players choice

not 100% sure to be honest, but that was definitely the case that season because i went to the club Player of the Year award and one of them was explaining it to me.

Last seasons article on aleague.com.au disclosed this

Diamanti received 34 points from a panel that included former professional players, technical experts, match officials and media representatives.

He was followed by Milos Ninkovic (Sydney FC – 28 points) and Jamie Maclaren (Melbourne City FC – 25 points) with Diego Castro (Perth Glory – 23 points) and Ulises Dávila (Wellington Phoenix – 23 points) in equal fourth place.

And the corresponding ftbl.com article : 

The Johnny Warren Medal is based on regular-season form, with former NSL and A-League players, the particular game's match officials, FFA technical staff and members of the media each voting on a 3-2-1 basis on all 143 games.

Those votes are tallied and independently audited, with the player(s) who accrue(s) the most votes named the winner.

Well all those systems are better than a public vote, which tends to lead to the player with the best haircut being anointed.

Yeh exactly. Clearly it didnt necessarily reward consistency cos Castro took 8 or 9 games to get going, but he was very clearly excellent in that second half of the season that year, and his peers agreed.
And tbh the players hes playing with and against are probably far better judges than us mug fans

The only problem with players is many don’t watch games they aren’t involved in. 
the problem with media is that some don’t even watch games they give 321 on (quote, Scott Jamieson).

Makes it hard.

One of the best system s I’ve seen is the AFL coaches points. Coaches normal have a fair idea where they won or lost a game.
