Shetland Owl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Very poor first half better second. Wallace was disappointing today moved too far inside we needed the width. Defence looked all over the place but we had to make two changes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Terrible1st half, better second. Jones and Winnall really improved us. Bannan only decent performer in 1st half. Apart from those three, I thought Reach, Hunt and Rhodes were very poor, with the rest average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadABallacks Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Miles better, but i still can't quite grasp how we will persist with a midfield that hasn't quite been good enough for 2 seasons, yet we have 2 proven creative Premier League midfielders on the bench.

oldishowl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have no gripe with the players on the pitch but we are a shambles really We have now played 3 competitive games and started 3 different systems. We have a manager who has been here two years and still has not got a squad and a system that fit or any idea of what our best team is. We just don't have a system or 11 players we can put out and confidently think it will be solid in defence and potent in attack. We are still starting games with players who are too high risk from an injury perspective or not 100% fit We were unlucky today but the pair of them are an accident waiting to happen We played better when we went to a diamond and the players worked their socks off. We played a lot more attacking football than we did at Preston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me wonder why, if other clubs seem to be able to make a step change, we are unable to. You'll have to wonder til the end of the season then. Like the rest of us.

Bouncing Owl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The OP was made to get a reaction from fellow posters. Second half display was an improvement but well short of what is required for a promotion challenger. I thought they were very average - some of their ball retention in the second half was shocking. We should be beating teams like them at home, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Last weekend we were truly awful This week we were just okay. Today would have been acceptable away at Preston but again wasn't good enough at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Bloke sat at the side of me complained that we weren't winning any second balls. My reply was that it was better than last week as we didn't win any first balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If the Preston performance was a 1, today was about a 3. Absolutely no way we're going up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Second half was better, mainly the first 15 mins. But really, it's not good enough. Nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portugal Owl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well after 2 league games the Carlos Out brigade are licking their chops at the prospect of getting rid of him. As I am one of the few Owls talk contributors who has never coached at football league level I bow down to the 95% of Owlstalkers who have enjoyed major success in their lengthy careers. Their amazing knowledge of the beautiful game has convinced me. I am wrong. CC should pack his bags now. DC should also go and take his money with him. What we need is a good old fashioned manager who picks a team of honest hard working cloggers every week. And a return to a board of directors from the ranks of senior Sheffield industrialists and manufacturers. That'll sort it out sithee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC can't seem to change this and it's beyond a joke tbh - it will no doubt cost us at some point. It already is/has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
