SpecialPG Â Â 10 #109 Posted April 21, 2012 Bloody 1-1 last week against Colchester has bit us mind...yep pal theres been 1 or 2 too many of those, if we had held on for the win in those matches we'd probably be champs and charlton and united scrapping it out for second, but thats the difference between us and charlton, they shut up shop and killed the game by spoiling opposition play as soon as they scored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Robbie Loving   10 #110 Posted April 21, 2012 a team can have the ball for 60% of the time and do nothing with it, if they are just knocking around and not pushing forward or making chances it looks to the fans like they they are being over run by a team that attacks consistantly and without interuption, in the history books only the result will stand not how it got there  Look at Barca's possesion vs Chelsea.... and lost 1-0.  Goals are what matters, and the Owls popped up at the right time.

sheff71 Â Â 10 #118 Posted April 22, 2012 Has anyone actually mentioned that Wednesday are 12 unbeaten?pretty impressive. Â Huddersfield were over 40 games unbeaten, still in L1 though and not that good a bet in the playoffs! Â The dropped points since Megson left were all against lesser teams (the owls seem to do better in the big ones) - Rochdale, Walsall and Colchester - so perhaps Brentford and Wycombe won't be the easy wins some might expect. Â As for possession, Barcelona had apparently 72% possession against Real earlier, yet had less shots on goal or corners - they must be passing it around the back four half the time!

We were almost dead and buried a couple of months back and now look at us. What are you talking about Real and Barca for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annoni_mouse   10 #120 Posted April 22, 2012 My only grumble about today is that the midfield sat back for most of the second half. I lost count of the the number of times we broke forward and put a cross in and most of our midfield were still sat on the halfway line having not bothered to push out. It looked like we were defending a 1-0 win. That gave them the chance to get more possession and fashion a few chances of their own. Only after we'd conceded (and I agree that shouldn't have been a free kick) did we really start attacking properly again.  Our strength this season has been our attack and Carlisle clearly had trouble stopping us when we went forward. Why hamstring ourselves by keeping half our team in defence?  Yup, agree with that. Apart from that one run that he made, did Lines venture past the halfway line?
