Orlando_Trustful Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 26,289 at Saint Marys today. Impressive. First derby against Bournemouth they've had in about 40years, be same or more if it was us versus Rotherham or chesterfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Good. What standard , if you don't mind me asking ? A good standard. Why? What standard did Arsene Wenger play at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 WTF? Played until I was 38. To a reasonable standard too. Why. Did Arsene Wenger? +i for reading methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putney Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Good. What standard , if you don't mind me asking ? I can see where this is going so maybe we should just pack up the Matchday section as none of us are 'qualified'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHowe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 First 15 mins he analysed everything that was wrong with us. Didn't hold back - virtually slated em. Why can't AI see this? Top coach, don't make me laugh. As I've posted earlier, I thought he was on the money all afternoon.....and that was from just one game. As you say, how come Irvine can't see this week in week out and an ex-pro (I assuming he doesn't coach) can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) Maybe the penny has finally dropped for Irvine. And maybe the off-field shenanigans haven't had a impact on the players as some have suggested. I think they may have benefitted from being away from Hillsborough at the moment, less of a pressure cooker. Glad to see that Tudgay wasnt used as a target man and they let him come deeper so he gets a chance to shoot and arrive late into the area. Hopefully we can get back on track now. I think this is a big boost for us as they have some really dangerous players. Therse no coincidence that an improvement happens when Coke is in the centre too.

No Uniform Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 A good standard. Why? What standard did Arsene Wenger play at? Better than Mourinho.... (Wenger played 11 games in the top division in France) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Exactly. Jemson watched one game and he immediatley noticed the faults that we have been seeing all season. The centre halves get no help from the midfield We dont win any second balls Tommy Spurr makes mistakes and plays out of position We dont pick up the runners We dont shoot enough to name a few of what Jemson picked up on. Like you say, if he can see it, and we can see it, then why cant Irvine and his coaching staff see it. What the **** does he actually write in that notebook?

TheGodfather Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Sorry Reading, but I think you're being unfair today. We've just won a tough away game and stopped a majorly bad run of form, and you're more interested in praising the Radio Sheffield commentary than the Wednesday management. Sounded to me from what I heard of the game that Irvine got a lot of the decisions right today. He's had some damn poor showings recently, but if you want to stick the boot in when they get it wrong (and we're all well within our rights to) then it's only right they get a pat on the back when they call it right IMO. Big +1 for all the lads today, Irvine included. And a +1,000,000 for the travelling fans. Brilliant as always. Doesn't erase the mistakes of recent weeks, but it's a big start to getting back on track for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobHowe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Do you really believe AI can't see what has been going wrong ? When you see the same mistakes being made and the same pattern / style of play being adopted week after week it's very hard to think otherwise isn't it?

Miffed Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) Godfather - I think that the point is that one swallow does not make a summer. The mistakes are still there, however I think we can all agree that it is something to build upon. Lets not get carried away, this result doesnt mean that HMS PTL has reached its destination. Reading - did you mean to quote me or Owlinmad (head) ? Edited October 2, 2010 by Miffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedOwl Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Do you really believe AI can't see what has been going wrong ? We can only assume so, but it's what he does about it that matters. And a relegation and an alarming run of results later I think we're well entitled to question him. Still, we won today, and it sounds as though the performance was much improved, so we can only hope that we can kick on from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to be a hypocrite just because of today and say all is well. Like loads will do on here tonight. You don't take 1 point from 15 if all is well. You don't lose against 10 men at Plymouth if all is well. Furthermore, we were commentating on Jemson viz viz Irvine. Keep things in perspective. Jemson was spot on, Irvine hasn't been.

RobHowe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Some could think that way. If you think he can see them why do you think he appears unwilling or unable to do anything about it (until today)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
