Fox is garbage, Pudil has no legs so now plays centre back and Reach is one of our best players further up the pitch.

 

ffs.

I know but Loovens has lost it so he has been forced to keep Pudil at centre half plus play an under 23.

If we are to continue playing with 3 centre halves I think if we only bring in 1 player it will be in this position. 

 

 

 

FFS.

At the game. Nervy start against Traore until Wildsmith saved.

 

Since then we have settled and look a better side (marginally). Good play but no one to aim for. Joao doesn’t want to get across his man, one for Nuhiu.

 

Fox isn’t suited to his left sided role at all, but we knew that!

You’re the better side. After a typically fast start by the hosts, Wednesday grew into it and have dominated the ball and looked the more dangerous. Just needs Wallace to get alongside Joao more, or you bring on Dave/Rhodes and go for it. 

 

Midfield looks well and the defence solid enough. Traoré looks a menace and Fox was struggling initially, but he looks all foreplay and no penetration. He will score now. Sorry.

RS claim that Boro have had 'most of the play in this half'.

 

BBC Possession stats: Boro 47% Owls 53%

 

EFL/SWFC match centre reports Boro 43% Owls 57% in possession. In short, quite nice stats, shows that we're digging in and bringing fight to the match.

Radio Sheffield talk absolute complete utter rounduns. I watched the game with my own eyes, just turn them off they are trolling us 

Have to agree the longer the game went on the more we've come into it.

 

We've had a few promising situations but never looked like scoring they've looked the more dangerous.

Hmm, don’t expect all four to get back in the TEAM !

 

I suspect Jos likes TEAM players..

Which of them isnt a team player

They said Carlos was negative ... whilst I think we have played reasonably well we are absolutely offering nothing attacking wise.

 

I like this formation but Fox and Palmer are so limited it's very frustating.

All four walk into this team and they're all team players imo.

It has to be this way, do you honestly think this side is capable of going away to a play off chasing side and playing open expansive football?
