Bluesteel Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 He made a big deal of not wanting to grind out wins away from home, stating he didn't want to shut up shop. But it appears he has had a much needed re think on that. Whilst we want to get goals on the road, we certainly needed to tighten things up so it's refreshing to see the manager change his ideas and adapt to the nature of this league.

S36 OWL Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 1-0 or 6-0 , its still 3pts . Im happy to grind out 1-0 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Exactly what we needed this result. A clean sheet without that much trouble against us. Was worried with the first 11 at the start but he got it right and we are right up there now. 4 wins from 5 games is a good return (although it should have been 5 from 5 !!!).

Philb125 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 In fairness he brought on two forwards as late subs, so he's not grinding them out in the traditional sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontemp Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Think what the last 2 away games have shown is that it's sometime soon a case of "horses for courses," and you can't always play that expansive style of football that Carlos like. It may even be the case that we have to pick a different line up for away games to make us a bit more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I feel this is a big win for this team. The sort of game we would have lost last season. The sort of win that the top teams always seem to grind out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two forwards on all night. That is really important. We have to have a goal threat, and the ability to keep the ball up the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I don't think you can class this one as a ground out result, looking at the stats? http://www.sofascore.com/blackburn-rovers-sheffield-wednesday/msW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 That wasn't grinding nothing out it lacked ambition every time we got the ball we looked to go back now I'm all for not going all out attack ever game and leaving us exposed but we played most of our possession in and around our own box. It would be interesting to see how many touches Westwood had compared to say Buckley hooper etc. We could have applied more pressure and killed that game off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilnil Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 A 1-0 win away in the Championship vs a side coming off a great result is more than acceptable. After 10 games we are right in the mix again and that is thanks to Carlos. We are building up some momentum now and a clean sheet is a real confidence boost to the team. Onwards!

Groundhopping Owl Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 An away game at a team with two wins on the bounce and us with a dodgy record away from home? I'll take this result all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a perfectly fine statement, regardless of the performance, what he states is correct! Look at my statement in the official thread. I doubt not that 3 points is 3 points and all is good but we did not grind out three points we played a poor Blackburn side and at many times during that game we could have played forward without compromising our defensive duties instead we played backwards and invited unesesary pressure. That being the point against a more positive side we don't get the three points. The point being three points is great but that approach to the game is far from griding out a result it was playing with fire. And my point being is if you would have sat and WA chef the whole game you would understand my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's good that we can still attack, failing to get the second is always risky as we nearly found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
