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

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.

They had 2 shots in 30 minutes

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.

It'll be fraud if we get that much

Should £5M!🫣

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.

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.

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
