But How are we supposed to do that when we can't even do that against teams in the championship. Lets be honest we never really dominate anyone. Ever. We win by the odd goal and we scrap along the way. No pace. Its our style. Not being negative by saying that. Its not the fans fault weve spent a few years being drilled into this. Our style is to play attritional, scrappy football. Utterly true. Edited January 27, 2019 by Spondon Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Think the pundits/presenters have called it right regarding us, too deep, not enough imagination and speed up front - we have the ball 30 yards outside their box and we send it back to Westwood. Both penalty calls were spot on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imre Varadi's Conker Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We only need 2 goals in 45mins. That should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 1 minute ago, Lee A said: Some folk being too harsh imo If not for the penalty, we'd be saying great first half performance, we've dug in and but for a bit of bad luck we'd be level. Keep it at 1-0, chuck a few attackers on later on you never know. What did we really expect? Yeah for sure. Think people are comparing it to how similar or worse teams to ours have fared this weekend. E.g wimbledom beating west ham. Much worse teams than ours having more attacking threat. Ultimately it could be worse and we still have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiffowl06 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 To be fair to the BBC - we've given them nothing positive to talk about. We've not made any chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) A bit of a limp wee pipe performance, not much use to anyone. Obviously were going to lose if 1-0 down and still playing in our own 18 yard box, but at least have a go and try and have a touch of the ball in their half. May as well call it a day at HT if this is our game plan Don't know why we persist with 4141, clear doesn't work Edited January 27, 2019 by striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squonk Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 FFS what did you expect ? The BBC has no interest in any side outside the Prem, they don't even have to pretend that they have now they don't have rights to the Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 People slagging Fox off are pure bell ends . Wednesday have played really well against 11 players a million miles ahead in ability . JeeZ I’m supposed to be the forum neg head . I’m gonna coin a phrase I hate . If you are slagging that off get t’ lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Chill out people, we are not playing Chelsea every week and can't use this game as a barometer for the remainder of the season as we won't play a team who have all the possession week in week out.

Watched it back and Chelsea player got last touch. 5 minutes ago, ElsecarOwl said: But why a drop ball, the Chelsea player played the ball out. The Ref gave a penalty so the corner decision was off the cards. The rules of VAR state that if the decision is overturned then it goes back to a drop-ball at the point of the incorrect decision. Why the drop-ball wasn't contested was down to our players, I guess. Edited January 27, 2019 by roaminowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Even with the side they've put out the gulf in class is obvious. We reckon Hector is one of our best players yet he can't get near their side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsend Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 In my opinion we’ve got to go out there now and go out all guns shooting what’s the point in sitting back On a one nil defeat it’s time For the players to give back little for 6000+ fans which is travel there today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeA and i must be watching the same the game because i don't think Fox has done much wrong either No mate, I don't have qualms with any Wednesday player and have defended Fox and others in the past if warranted. I just don't think he's having a half decent game today. But hey OIMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshfish Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The stark contrast and it’s one everyone is aware of even in the Championship, is we lack pace physically and mentally. Decent defensive display first half and well organised but the difference and gap in thought and movement is huge. I think Fox is a reasonable defender but he looks like he’s on another planet out there. Edited January 27, 2019 by Freshfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
