redbig   10 #205 Posted November 12, 2018 I have just realised that Wednesday had five academy youngsters in their team of big hitters .While their real big hitters were still sat in the stands that is. How many of Uniteds famous academy was there outon the pitch.  Billy Sharp ? But they've sold him about 5 times  Good result for Wednesday, battered in terms of possession but not really opened up other than the pen & Sharp's header.  And the strange fixation with the opposition budget continues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ormester   11 #207 Posted November 12, 2018 I won't rise to the obvious, the clean sheet will have given the keeper (who had a great game) and the defence a boost after a torrid few weeks, the manager achieved his aim of not losing the game however that comes about, get the likes of FF, Matias, Winnall back and it eases the pressure defensively. I tend to look at the bigger picture not one game.  maybe but you never even tried I applaud a team that gets Wigan lost 4_2 but least they attacked strange but the Norwich result changed his plans and you were happy with a 0_0 even villa attacked more and got hammered 4_1 any Wednesday fan that though Wednesday were good is deluded .You papered over the cracks bannan reach looks disinteresterd.

POUNDSWORTH Â Â 12 #208 Posted November 12, 2018 In light of the Owls fans ,over reaction to a 0-0 draw, and the views of most Owls last week wanting a change in Management and change of a goal keeper. Â Has the 0-0 result saved Jos AND now changed your view on the position of keeper? Â Despite being out played, can a 0-0 really change ones views so much?

Â Sorry we'll roll over and let you win 5-0 next time. Â Bannan & Reach are two players who I cannot accuse of being disinterested, the tactics in this game passed them by. I don't think it papered over any cracks, we looked reasonable before the last International break and fell apart in the four games prior to the derby, Friday was a chance to avoid defeat against a team that play on the front foot, get a much needed clean sheet and move on. If the game has given the defence confidence and we can start to get some forward players back from injury the match will have been far more precious than the one point it gleaned. Â Fair play to united by they need more guile upfront to really make they're style of play count over a season, it wasn't as effective in the second half of the game.

Even at full strength, which never seems to happen due to 'injuries', it's still a mid table squad at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
