billybob2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 What a great game of football that was to watch, thank you both teams for some great entertainment and football. I will settle something first and foremost, I don't think Sheffield Wednesday put the ball up in the air more than the average football team, ok they did at times but also played the ball around on the deck very well too. We entered the ground 5 minutes late and Huddersfield were on top, The Owls didn't start the game too well at all, looked nervy and Huddersfield always looked likely to capitalise on it and did, I don't know who the target man was up front for them but if your talking long ball then this has to be a fine example of it as Huddersfield pretty much hit him and others poached off him. After going 2-0 down Wednesday were by far the better team however, great football allover the park, they impressed me most with the different threads around the pitch, the didn't seem one dimensional but instead had 3-4 threats from different positions in the final third which confused Huddersfield no end and they couldn't handle them. It's hard to credit a keeper who conceded 4 goals but Huddersfields shot stopper Bennett was for me all that stopped wednesday netting 6 or 7 goals. I left at 4-3 and thought wednesday had won it, walking down towards KFC I heard a roar and thought Wednesday had scored again in all honesty but found out in the pub that it was a late equaliser which was rediculously late (added I heard Owls fans in the pub questioning where the stoppage time came from, I could also question this). Very fierce derby game, a good few naughty tackles coming in, some very good passing football from both teams. Ben Marshalls goal was sheer class and what a good player he looks. Shakey defending cost Wednesday in a game which they started very poorly and conceded 2 and then became complacent against a top young striker in Rhodes (he's going to end up in the top flight for sure). They have to feel hard done by as I thought they were great today and played some quality football, they dominated the majoriy of the game and looked very dangerous going forward. :hihi: nice made up story that about owls getting the ball down on deck how many pints did you have before match
hurstyowl Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 it is gutting to have dropped 2 points, especially with other results today. however we were just incredibly bad first 15 minutes i thought we were on for a 4-5 goal drubbing

sheff71 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 shouldnt have took marshal off for bennet,after that we sat back and tried to absorb the pressure,with marshal running at them they were kacking themselves and were holding in thier own half , Prt from a dodgy ref i think that was the only thing i dissagreed with, good game for a neutral fan, feels like a loss to me, now i know how united fans felt when we came back in the derby match Was Marshall injured, or was it to give him a rest? If he wasn't injured, seems a bit of a mistake or complacency on Megson's part (just as Wilson did taking off Williamson at 2-0 in the Sheffield derby).

Cause for some optimism from both Sheffield teams, for the first time in ages. Even in Division 3.
