They didn't create anything at all really even with bannon on

They cut us open a few times before Bannon and completely ran the game with him.

The first hour was probably the best performance under Lampard. But the Simms chance aside our only real chances were from corners.

I need to see a better angle of the Thomas goal, it does look like BTA is fouling the keeper, but that's only from one angle, and only watching it on my phone.

The Binks one isn't shit refereeing, it's the laws of the game.

I'm talking about our disallowed goal

 

[Evo1883]

In no world of football were sheffield wednesday better than us or did they deserve to beat us yesterday .

The better team won

You're right, they did cut us open a few times, but every time their final cross or pass was poor or someone was offside.

Don’t think anyone’s arguing that tbf

I don't know why we are trying to give them so much credit for 20 minutes In fairness .

They dived all game , got every decision from the official and had a goal chalked off for them

50 minutes. There was extra time too.

 

[Evo1883]

They had 2 shots in 30 minutes

 

[chiefdave]

it's the laws of the game.

Pointing to the laws of the game would be great if they were consistently applied.

First line of that is "The Laws of the Game and FIFA instructions indicate that any player requiring treatment must be given such treatment off the field of play", it goes on to state that physios should only be allowed on to asses players and that should be no more than 50 seconds. When does that ever get applied?

Also raises the question that as it was a head injury should the ref really be forcing a player off the pitch before there has been any assessment of his injury?

In any case we should have had a free kick so if the ref had got that right forcing a player off for treatment would have been less of an issue.

But who wouldn't? It doesn't mean he's giving any less. He's Dutch and I'd imagine would like to play for a decent Dutch top flight outfit. Likewise he'd probably also like to play for a huge club like Gala with pretty much guaranteed European competition in a great city.

Exactly. Any professional would want to play at a higher level so not sure why people try to make it out as a bad thing.

Has he downed tools ? no. Did he work his arse off for 120 mins ? yes. As long as that continues then I’m happy enough

I know why some posters are trying so hard to be fair...

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Phew. Got away with that

We were the better side, nothing wrong with out second goal e

Yeah that’s fair. And we should have won it fair and square. But other than the Simms chance we didn’t create a huge amount, and they had a couple of chances just as good. We should have won, but once Bannon came on they outplayed us.

And we had a perfectly good goal disallowed

 

[Captain Dart]

Was going over but dovin made right decision to save it regardless I think

Definitely, I had a good angle on the shot's trajectory.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Defo Lati going-didn’t risk him being cup tied.

Cant believe someone wants him!

Mark Robins always played him when he was here.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

No passion in some fans these days.

That's because some of them just jump on the bang wagon Wembley etc, lose a few games and they lose interest.

 

[wingy]

It'll be fraud if we get that much

Should £5M!🫣

 

[Nuskyblue]

I thought we did well for most of the game, we really limited their chances and actually looked pretty solid (for us). Allen played a blinder in CM, his awareness and speed of thought are something that we have been lacking for a long time, his 1/2 touch play could have sparked a few good attacks (I think Allen has Premier League brain but L1 ability, always tries the right thing, doesn't always work).

Could have gotten more from the game (refereeing aside), Rudoni and BTA in particular killed a few attacks between them by taking to many touches which seems to be a feature of their game.

Yep so long as it's done to our timescale and covers preceded the move.

Two weeks on the bounce Rafael got his appearance fee, he'll be out buying a supersport s car next week!

 

[Captain Dart]

I get the point that we were missing Wright, but you can’t help but feel if Bannon has been on from the start we’d have lost. Once he came on it was a totally different game.

I doubt he can manage a full game, he was in the end on for about 60 mins, I don't remember him being terribly effective in extra time.

[clint van damme]

I doubt he can manage a full game, he was in the end on for about 70 mins, I don't remember him being terribly effective in extra time.

We changed shape and even though he was still seeing a lot of the ball it pushed him into areas where he was less effective.

 

[covcity4life]

Mark Robins always played him when he was here.

He's a good player and gets way too much hate

That said if we can make a quick profit on him he's definitely not irreplaceable either and might give us wiggle room for some other deals

 

[MalcSB]

Don't be silly. No one has over exaggerated anything. Good performance is not hyperbole

And nothing I said isn't true is it? We are missing players. We have changed formation. We did play some players who don't always start

The deck might not be top 6 but this nonsense that it is awful and that the players have no fight needs to stop

We have grown men on a message board saying they personally dislike or hate players in their early twenties FFS

Sometimes take a step back and see how silly it is

We also seem to have players that go missing. I think Tamworth have just shown us what a team with fight looks like.

 

[shmmeee]

I don’t like people who take tens of thousands of pounds a week so I have to pay an ever increasing amount of my disposable income and can’t be bothered to put basic effort levels in. They’re grown men not little kids.

 

[wingy]

Anyway I saw it a solid effort and a continuation of the good work started last week which was too roundly critiqued on here, but more goals please even the one's that ref's don't like, bobby specials especially,back heels allowed also!

 

[MalcSB]

What millions of fans? I doubt it.

The fanbase is more than just those that went to that particular game. the kids. The people streaming at home. The people listening on radio. The casuals, oaps etc

Also I don't remember anything entire stadium to a man booing. And how many of them had a clear idea of what was going on either I wonder

It would be like saying everyone in Coventry likes women being assaulted cos we cheered Marlon king

I just wish I was as perfect as the majority on this forum.

 

[bigfatronssba]

It was a strange turnout. Block 15
Three people next to us left with 20 minutes to go. The bloke looked like he’d come last in a clown competition. Didn’t celebrate our goal. I guess him and his youfs thought it would be marvellous being near his fellow supporters. Then 4 more directly behind us left with 15 to go.
SWFC fans? Too cold? Free tickets?
The only other thing I can think of is that I’d shit myself. But no, that was not the case.

I can understand away fans trying to get into the home end when the away allocation is sold out

Sounds weird though that they would they go in block 15 when they could've had a row to themselves in the North Stand

Agree

Sheff Wed have historically been a good fanbase, with no issues with us whatsoever

A few idiots does not define a group of fans

If any Sheff Wed fans were objecting to the insulting going their way, it was probably to object to them all been put in the same basket

There were load of comments to the BBC match report saying what wonderful supporters the SW lot were.

I replied with some missing detail that they are racists. BBC moderators removed my comment on the grounds that it broke their house rules ( e.g. could be a racist comment in itself, or inciting violence etc).

I have challenged the moderators saying that comments can be accurate reportage.
This is from the BBC notification, the comment I had replied to described SW as an amazing fan base.

Thank you for recently contributing to the BBC website. Unfortunately, we've removed your comment because it broke the house rules

I used the following link in my appeal to demonstrate the veracity of my comment. Fucking woke oversensitivity

Sheffield Wednesday: Club fined after Kasey Palmer racism incident

Sheffield Wednesday are fined £12,500 after a fan made a racist gesture towards Coventry midfielder Kasey Palmer.

If any of you think I have breached Beeb house rules, do let me know.

Last time I was moderated by BBC, my comment was reinstated following an appeal.

Twats.

They all make silly generalisations as well

 

[shmmeee]

All generalisations are bad

I was making a joke as the post I quoted had the word celibate in it, instead of celebrate
