I can update you further, actually:-

the owls went down to tenth, because of the results from a late kick off putting them down another place.

No one saw Wednesday as top six material this season for obvious reasons, where as there is expectancy at the Lane, personally I hope United finish 3rd, 3points short of automatic promotion with Wednesday having taken points off you and then you lose in the play offs....happy days LOL !

So Hull are better than Arsenal then as well... :)

After 10 games (with both having even number of home and away games), United were 4th, Wednesday in the bottom half. Let's look again after 20 games...

If we beat you at your place it's a bonus
We beat you AGAIN,and are above you in the league

No I don't expect it but there's always a surprise team that does well. Why not us this season? Once we're safe, which will hopefully be a lot sooner this season than last, the lads will be playing without fear and who knows what could happen?

but its funny how your on -5 and were on +7

and you have let the second most goals in the champ and we have conceded the second least

I can't see us making the top 6 this year. The squad is not strong enough in depth. I reckon a top half this season would be ok and then if the club ever gets the finance then the top 6 should be possible for next season. We need another four quality players at least.

I can see the Blades doing it though. Not a particually nice thought!

Top 16 pal, we have no idea how to break teams down. Most of the team looked like they didn't want the ball playing to them.

We started off brightly against Plymouth. But once they scored and figured out how we played we had no chance.

Yes, I listened to the commentry and after they scored it just went downhill, even though Plymouth weren't much of a threat. Even JP left early!

Nothing's changed from the first day of the season. If we can name our best 16 and start with our best 11 on a regular basis, we'll finish mid-table. :cool:
Our first 11 (except Simek) have probably only started one game this season, the mauling of Burnley. Since then, BL and the incoming squad players have done their best. We just haven't got the squad to cope. :(
We knew this 5 years ago, and 4 years ago, and 3 years ago, and this season is no different.
Without investment, we're just treading water ... but doing it quite well! :)

I wouldnt say losing at home to Plymouth with a goal from someone who we released is doing quite well, were shocking really.

Defended ok last night considering the changes in defence.

But the wingers were awful.

And Clarke!!!

Yeah it can be quite frustrating.. But we dont really concede that many so we get away with it more often than not, we create enough chances to put games to bed but the finishing is poor.

Our only striker on the pitch that played well last night.

Get off his back. He deserves criticism most of the time but last night he played well.

It was a great tackle from a Plymouth defender to prevent him going clean through. I was gutted for him.

It was a great tackle from a Plymouth defender to prevent him going clean through. I was gutted for him.

Nobody wants him to score more than me, but as far as I'm concerned he didn't cut it last night.

His hold up play and first touch were very poor.

He won a lot of headers when the ball was played forward, but Andy Booth used to, and that got us nowhere. It's not just about getting your head on the ball - you've got to direct it and retain possesion.

People criticise Burton for not scoring, but arguably our best chance last night fell to Clarke on the back of the slickest move of the night - by Burton, and he'd only been on a couple of minutes. Clarke tried to play that role last night, but he just doesn't have the skill or control.

I would have much sooner seen Burton partner Jeffers as he can make the runs once Burton has control of the ball.

And as for the tackle preventing him scoring - I agree it was a great tackle, but running into the box with only the keeper to beat and the defender behind you, you've either got to get the shot off, or put yourself between the defender and the ball, and either keep the defender off the ball or force the penalty.

And the other thing I don't like about Clarke - he plays with big tomatoes on his feet!

NERVY-OWL
29-10-2008, 16:06
yes, cant believe some fans are slating him, jeffers played far worse and i've been saying he should start. clarke is one of only a couple of players that can be pleased with his performance

F. Sidebottom
29-10-2008, 16:09
Worse miss of the night, by far, was Johnsons at the end.

Overall, it is close between him and Esajas as to who had the worse game last night.

NERVY-OWL
29-10-2008, 16:11
i dont rate burton or clarke, i dont really care which of the 2 he plays but i think clarke did enough to get a start next match, he was very unlucky he didnt score, i dont think there is much more he could of done when he was almost clean through. maybe it should be clarke/burton upfront next match? yes jj gets miss of the night for me

F. Sidebottom
29-10-2008, 16:15
Each of our strikers brings something different:

Burton has the ability to receive the ball, control it well and distribute it, which advances our play up the field - can't score though!
Tudgay has good vision and battle.
Sodje has pace and power
Jeffers has skill
Clarke has giant edams for boots.

NERVY-OWL
29-10-2008, 16:22
yes they do, problem is sodje and jeffers need to get match fitness, so till they're match fit we wont see too much of those 2
