Is it Baka's fault that he's playing???

Is it Baka's fault that he's at the club???

Yes he did fuck all but we can't have a £17k a week reserve striker.

Pissed off at the result... Giles should have been on earlier.

Well fuck me that was shite.....I did say we are a good team to play when the opposition are on a bad run .. happy Christmas Sheff Weds..
but on reflection we have discovered Baka is worse than shite...

He does fuck all every game and would be gone if we had the budget for better

I know the players are tired but if we started the game with the tempo in which we finished we would have won this easily imo. They were a poor team. I cannot imagine we will face a team as bad this season. Real missed opportunity.

We simply cannot continue to set up to play for a 0-0 and expect anything out of the game. Could have played for 180 minutes and we wouldn’t have scored.

Ostigard header the only notable chance, created nothing. On the back of 8 games unbeaten we had to go out to win the game against bottom of the league. Such negativity from the 1st minute.

Wednesday deserved the win, they were the best team by a good way.
We could play for a month and not score.
Disagree totally. No way were they comfortably better than us. We had key players missing. Did our players put in a shift - yes. Did they doen tools - no. Pitch was crap. and the game was poor, but we had a go. The bit I will agree with, is that we didn't really look like scoring in that second half (Baka ineffectual) but neither did they - that one breakaway apart. Players need that week's rest. Bonus was Wycombe 1-1 v QPR and Millwall 1-1 Forest. Blues 1-3 v Mboro. Couldn't have asked for better results.

For a one nil defeat that was quite an entertaining game. We created a lot, put some decent balls in and played some good stuff at times but we could play til midnight and not score. Giles run late on was a perfect example, brilliantly skips 3 tackles and messes up a simple ball to put us through on goal.

Crap. See this is why I said that a draw wouldn’t be bad result on a day when we missed both Hamer and Kelly. Some folks were saying we had some divine right to win this. Baka sucks so bad and Da Costa didn’t impress from what I saw. Kasta is just another body and nothing more. Allen performed above expectations. Giles should have been given more time. Hope Walker is ok.

Bitterly disappointing result, a poor performance today.

For years we've seemed to have an issue with playing to the level of the opposition. Probably just one of those things you imagine but the stats don't back up but today would be a prime example.

I never said everything is perfect. I want us to play better football but I’d rather get an ugly point than a 3-2 defeat. It’s like you don’t understand the jump from league one to the championship
It's not about understanding the jump from league 1 to the championship, that's a lame excuse for not assessing what is happening in front of your eyes. Trying to take the game to Bournemouth is dumb. Trying to take the game to a 0 wins in 9 Sheffield Wednesday? Well I guess we'll never know now. The game would likely have been done if we'd scored a first half goal though, they've gone behind 11 times and equalised once, a 9% equalising rate. And honestly I would much rather have gone a goal down after 20 minutes chasing a win than trying to grind out a point against that shite.

But this is Robins latest iteration of his paint by numbers match days again. We've had some success by being defensive so we're just going to do keep doing the same thing every game, irrespective of who we're playing, until we've lost enough that he changes again. People will just blame the absence of Hamer and Kelly but the team played with the attitude they couldn't win today.

And no I don't want him sacked, and yes I do think the overall turn around in the unbeaten run is commendable but I also feel we're 3 or 4 points short of what we could have achieved over that period and that we'll end up needing points in a very difficult February to avoid huge pressure in March.

Robins takes the blame for that dismal performance. Negative, defensive and didn’t want to attack from the start. If Robins set-up to attack we would have had a better day. They couldn’t contain Giles when he came on. Baka was awful and falling all over the place. Robins needs to realise when he should go and attack teams. He was playing for a draw.

Sorry - but people saying we went for a 0-0, when he went 2 up front. MR's fault that Walker got injured?
So glad Godden didn't pick up a knock. We attacked way more than they did (even if it was ineffective) - that's not playing for a draw. I wanted Giles on much earlier, but hey ho.
