nevthelodgemoorowl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Anything better than 2 points from these last 3 games was a bonus. We got 7 and so unlucky not to pick up 9. Well done to the lads and our vociferous fans. Onwards and upwards ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Disappointing but looking at the bigger picture, a fantastic turnaround. A brighter 2019 to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the kneejerk way it happened, it shows immense progress.... We could hold our own against nobody a month ago...Not yer 'boros and yer West Broms away...but any f.ooker at home! 7 points out of 9 up to now....would you have taken that? because thats the way to look at it...there is half a season to go...and 2 weeks ago we were staring at relegation.... Onwards to the Brum game......Its getting better...anyone who thinks different is looking at it from a bloody ridiculous angle That’s better mate ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Jones was unlucky for the o.g though No way in the world I'd have risked splitting up Hector and Lees after their last 3 performances as a double act. Growing in confidence and developing a really good understanding and communication as a pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I just hope that goal doesn't destroy Dawson's confidence. There was nothing he could about it and he'd played great and made a fantastic save earlier on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'd have snatched your hand off for a point before kick off but so hurtful when you concede so late on. We are one of the best teams in history at conceding last minute goals. Ah well onto Brum at Hillsborough. UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say simple solutions to simple problems. The change to a proper 3 man midfield I think has also helped them build up that solidity. Though I still expect to see many new and bumped keeper threads looking for some point scoring and black and white thinking tonight. Shame as I think Bullen and the lads have all done brilliantly of late to try and bring everyone back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in that sense but it was obvious they was gonna start lumping it into the box and Thorniley is great in the air....perhaps as a 3rd centre back just to hang on...?

Possibly. It's all if and buts really. People are still arguing that subbing Bobby Charlton in 1970 was negative and invited the equaliser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 So a very dubious six minutes of extra time increased to just over nine minutes during said six minutes, whilst there were minimal stappages, such is being an Owls supporter. No point in moaning about it, seven points in three games is more than any of us expected, we’re nowhere near ready for a promotion push yet, over to you SB.

Against 10 men you keep possession, not sit back and invite them on or the inevitable will happen and it did. But having said that, 7 from 9 is brilliant and I'd have taken a point before KO today. So, well done boys, onwards and upwards. WAWAW Edited December 29, 2018 by ElsecarOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still 7 points from 9 but really should have been all 9. He said Fletch was feeling it after consecutive starts and he didn't really want to risk him where possible with the games coming thick and fast. Also that Winnall has been working tremendously hard in training and he wanted to give him some minutes as a bit of a bonus and we'll done, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
