Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday - Coventry City [FA] Match Thread - Friday 26th Jan (24 Viewers)

Lots of idiots on twitter slating the Wednesday fans for the attendance. Will be a lot lower than 14,000 at the CBS I'd imagine

18k against Oxford wasn't it?

It's another game for likes of

Wilson
Lati
Binks
Da Silva
Eccles
Allen
Torp
Godden/Simms

Not sure why people panicking about tiredness

And we should have at least one new winger in by next game too. Could be his debut!

 

[Winny the Bish]

Simms and Godden were pony.
Torp looked alright, tidy, but you can see he's used to playing at 0.5x the speed of the Championship.
Wilson has fully lost it. If we could get a fee for him I'd accept straight away.
The 3-5-2 does not suit this squad.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Let’s not have a meltdown, we weren’t that bad. We dominated but just got complacent and dropped the tempo.

It gave Torp some valuable minutes and he looked really good.

We’ll play a slightly weakened team in the reply but hopefully with the right formation and attitude and we’ll beat them.

But on a Tuesday night for a replay?

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ah well gives us a chance to give em a well deserved shellacking

 

[MalcSB]

A really shit game of football vs a really shit opponent, shouldve been out of sight before half time

For completeness, on a really shit pitch in a really shit stadium.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Controlled the 1st half...not amazing, but effective. Great goal.
Took off our best player at half time, and we let SW back into the game.
SW looked more dangerous 2nd half, but we should still have won it, but a hit and hope for them went in.

 

[Nick]

Dunno why he did it tbh

Tried to see out the 1-0. Changed the game.

 

[CovInEssex]

At least we're in the hat for the draw. If it's another Championship team I'd rather lose the replay

 

[TomRad85]

Also while I'm ranting there's no point in resting the keeper for the cup games. Wilson is finished, leave him on the bench unless Collins is injured.

This is worst outcome out of this. I can’t wait for replays to be voted away.

 

[skybluecam]

Honestly terrible. Didn’t mind the lineup but Thomas and Allen on robbed us of any pressure going forward and the equaliser was so predictable.

Please let’s never play 5 at the back again.

Hillsborough is not a shit stadium

Kids?? Lol

 

[Astute]

Pitch was shite. Ref was not much better.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Torp looks like he can do everything, once he gets up to full fitness and gelled with everyone, he’ll be a beast.

 

[Nuskyblue]

But on a Tuesday night for a replay?

Sorry.

Let’s not make Simms the new boo boy either; he’s a good player, offers something different from the other strikers and shows the right attributes.

He’ll come good - 100%.

He needs a run of starts and a goal; both will help his confidence.

 

[SBT]

I think any new signing would be ineligible for the replay

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Last we’ve seen of Ben Wilson in goal I think. Liability.

 

[pusbccfc]

Sorry.

20k?

Should we have had a penalty for the foul on Simms?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Allen should’ve buried that at the end. Not the best game and frustrating but hardly the end of the world. Preferred to have won in the league and drawn this than the other way round, so let’s not shit the bed

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Last we’ve seen of Ben Wilson in goal I think. Liability.

The 2 he conceded against Oxford looked pretty soft as well.

what's happening with keepers at the club.. that's two in successive seasons that have looked completely different players after the summer break.

Hell still be in for the replay I think

 

[CCFCSteve]

Should we have had a penalty for the foul on Simms?

hmmm, was a foul but never gonna give them shoulder to shoulder. Ref bottled it and gave a corner but their lad never touched it

 

[Nuskyblue]

20k?

Twenty thousand fans

 

[pusbccfc]

Twenty thousand fans

For the replay?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Agreed, but weren’t obviously calamitous. At first viewing I couldn’t make out if the shot took a deflection. The instant replay showed it was shit keeping.

 

[HadjiChippo]

The 2 he conceded against Oxford looked pretty soft as well.

Was thinking that look eerily similar to Oxfords equaliser. Soft deflected into bottom corner

but end of the day we invited ourselves into that equaliser.

He was pretty tidy today, only issue was when he tried to cut inside and shoot rather than driving forward and having a dig start of the second half. Low on confidence

 

[ccfc1234]

What dates are the replays likely to be?
