The only way is S6 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Just repeat the league match plan at home. Keep it tight until ht. Change our shape & personnel to suit the game after ht. Win 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No 2 is r nilsson Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Does anyone know if Hutch is fit for Wed night? Sorry if it's on a different thread - there are so many I'm losing track. I know I'll get back mixed opinions on this but he might be a better choice in the middle than Kieren Lee if we're going to play Barry Bannan.

I think it's more likely to be to nick it by 1 goal. I don't see us going for it as they're equally dangerous on the counter. I reckon we'll see a similar tactic on Wednesday. 1-0 will do just fine.

Blatter Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Terribly dull tactics by Carlos. Risky too, he'll be a genius if he wins on Wednesday but a liability fit for the scrapheap if he loses. To be fair his tactics have got us where we wanted to be up to now but I'd love to see him release the shackles now and give us two attacking performances to remember.

Will be this, and should be this Don't want to start changing tactics now, especially as the boring stuff has got us this far. I hope we don't play like this next year though, whatever division we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 In all fairness we should be good at letting teams attack us and soak it up. We've done a fair bit of it this season and it's the only way to get some teams to over commit at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I hope we don't regret these tactics. Personally I think it was an unwise gamble. Carlos turned a 180 minute football contest into a 90 minute contest, and it wouldn't surprise me if he plays it ultra-cagey for the first 45 on Wednesday. I'm sure Udders will be only too pleased with that too. I think we have FAR more quality than Udders, and that over 180 minutes of "normal" football we have way too much for them and would come out comfortable winners. Newcastle and Fulham won by a combined 8-2 at Udders recently, by playing their normal game against an inferior side. The shorter the contest, the more chance that a fluke, error or dodgy decision decides the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Udders will come and try to get the crowd to turn. We we need an early goal. Ideally 2. If the crowd turns then Hudds have half the battle won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat-Owl Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Played it like a great Italian side, just sat back & took the pressure. Just a shame we couldn't nick one on the counter! Other than that very pleased with how we handled them & can't wait to smash them on wednesday, up the Owls!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Lees reaction in the post match interview and (I've only seen) Hunt's reaction on twitter made it pretty clear that the players and manager weren't 100% happy with their performance and are in no way thinking that the job is done. If we can maintain the same level defensively and not be so sloppy when we have the ball the game is ours on Wednesday night. The fans have just got to stay behind us if we allow them to have the ball for large spells and if things don't quite come off in a nervous game. In a weird way it might help if they score first as I don't fancy them trying to hold on. Anyway, it's ours to lose at home, full house on a Wednesday night. These are the games you live for as a supporter and you do or die in as a manager or player. The ref had a good game yesterday. Who is it for Wednesday night because Sod's Law says it won't happen twice on the bounce.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We need to not be concerned about how we passed the ball yesterday. That game has gone, we are set up for Wednesday- it will be an extremely difficult game, but we've won plenty of those this season already. Doubt it will be open early on, we will have to be patient and wait for the moments to come - but I'm confident that they will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j17tjp Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I understand that holding them to a nil scoreline before they come to us is a good psychological advantage, but not shots at a 21yr old reserve keeper is a wasted opportunity. Id like to think if this was a league match, we would have thrown everything at Udders. And maybe scored 4 from Rhodes at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserve 21 yo goalie in a massive occasion, and he didn't have a single shot to test him. Too negative by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach, Forestieri and Fletcher were totally ineffectual - so drop Reach and Fletcher, play Rhodes and Winnall up top with Forestieri in his preferred position on the left. Hopefully Hutch comes into midfield and helps us to push up the pitch more. This for me too, 2 out and out strikers up top, Fessi wide and then let's get some crosses and cutbacks going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other times I see things more optimistically than most. Sunday, unlike most, I saw us back to the early dark days of this season. Hope you are right, and that I am wrong.
