Didn't do us any good though did it. Must have end product and a level of consistency to go with it. Even more so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on your side with this mate, pace is not the be all and end all of footy. Take Ross Wallce, no pace, but his shooting and delivery were legit awesome, and created more chances and goal than for us than if he had ran down the wing, past the full back, and crossed it into row RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helan was very good a relieving the pressure when we were defending as he could stride up the pitch and get us up there quickly by carrying the ball. But he wasn't so useful the other end of the pitch. Think this maybe how Aarons is used more on the counter attack as i don't think he is better than what we already have to start every week. The two full backs at interesting as I am convinced Bruce is gonna use his Hull template formation with us and the two full backs up and down the pitch were a major part of there success.

Laughing at Leeds fans waiting outside Elland Road in the cold and Dan James having to drive back down to Swansea. They’ll have had an unveiling video ready for him on Twitter Edited February 1, 2019 by nilsson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, wilyfox said: Dom Howson @domhowson Asked Steve Bruce about the lack of pace in the #SWFC squad: "You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realise that we need an injection of pace and energy. We need a few more younger ones. It won’t happen overnight but that has to be the aim." New additions should help this. Good hear that he's so on the ball about the squad's strengths and deficiencies - the weaknesses have been ignored for far too long so this needs to change now, hopfeully Bruce is the man to do it.

pgmetcalf Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 We got a pacey RW An experienced RB A left sided midfielder. Would have preferred to strengthen the defence more but at least we now have outlets for Bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just been looking who other teams ended up signing yesterday. Some decent signings to be fair. West Brom seem to have signed 3 good players on loan. Really seem to be going for it. Let’s hope they can stop the pigs going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sadly it’s a different ball game when you are a top 6 side in January, you can afford and attract decent players. We thought we had when we signed £10m+ Rhodes + Winnall. Other teams were probably thinking wow, Wednesday have 7 strikers - they are going for it. As Bruce says, there will be 10-12 clubs in the summer in the same situation as us if they don’t get promoted. So it may become more of a level playing field.

Lets try and get 10-15 points out of the games in march all against teams we should beat though in the past have struggled against these types of team and see where we are come beginning of March. 4-6 points of the play offs with 10-12 games left you would fancy your chances Ipswich (a), Reading (h), Millwall (a), Rotherham (h), Swansea (h), Brentford (h) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Thorniley is a more than capable backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
