You are probably right in that both Joao and FF should have started the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Owl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Agree with setup at start but shoulda brought ff n joao on at half time, waited too long then 2nil. The negatives say that we'd have gotten mullered, the positives say we coulda scored on break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a competion between fans mate. The frustration is obvious but the game plan failed against a top four team who's side is worth 50 times more than ours, away from home. The score is hardly a shock. Could we have been more positive? Probably. Would we have got beat by more if we had? Quite possibly. Would owlstalk have exploded if we'd lost 6-0? Definitely. Everything is easy to call afterwards, had the tactics got us a draw it would be hailed as genius. The better team won, let's get on with it and get a result at Ipswich.

theowlsman Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Wimbledon played fantastically well with limited resources against West Ham. Short on ability but rich in attitude and mentality. Did a job on West Ham. I rest my case on my foot your honour. Do I wish to question the witness? Yes, if I may your honour. Is it true they used to call you Baldrick at school?

We all saw the way they cut us open for their third when we started to chase the game, that’d have been much earlier and they’d have been out of sight by half time. Were it not for a rush of blood to the head for Hutch, we’d have gone in at HT level, in fact Chelsea only had 3 shots on target all match. The simple fact is, we just came up against a side with World class players throughout, none more so than Willian who showed today exactly why he’s a Brazilian international. We are a bottom half Championship side and I think Agnew and the players could have done anymore today. No shame at all in today’s performance. Don't worry there is a chance the owlstalk bi-polor will swing the other way if we get a win on Saturday. H. M. S wee wee the league will set sail again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Chelsea are far better than the Hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We just lost 3-0 at a top top side stop flipping moaning you're embarrassing.

Of course you're completely right..we should have written to the FA and offered Chelsea a bye because we're too lame to bother the keeper. If we'd shown a bit of imagination and played an attacking game and got beat 10-2 .. nobody would have complained in a one off game.... our supporter's intelligence gets more pelters than fox.

theowlsman Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I’ll tell you what though, I was well impressed with all the players stcking to the game plan. They all did themselves proud as a unit, they battled their nuts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody would've complained mate. We'd be throwing "naive" "inept tactics" and the like around. I'm not saying who's right or wrong and I'm not saying the fans frustration is wrong. I'm saying the tactics were understandable in order to try and nick a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 we had a plan and but for poor tackle by hutch and a bit of poor keeping it could have worked ……...for us to get anything from the game then everything had to go for us and sadly very little did .

I'm worried that the coaching team as stands ....are deluded enough to think that what worked at Wigan would work tonight. Btw Fletch was outstanding then... but FFS. Not at Wigan.

2hoots Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We never gave it a go - but the thing that bothers me is that it extracts the urine from 6000 wonderful travelling fans. Surely you must try and justify the expense and time they’ve given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Should have brought subs on earlier, however the top 5/6 premier teams are at another level regardless on who starts. Everything about those clubs is so precise to training, conditioning, eating, coaching etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you understand football. Setting up to 'not getting thrashed' isn't about aiming to lose 3 nil, rather than 6. It's about keeping in the game as long as possible & hoping to nick it at end or get a replay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinwestzicoest Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Absolute rubbish! Well done Wednesday & our fans. What would have been the point of going all out?? We would have been beaten heavily & I mean 6-7 nil. This has happened to premier League Wednesday sides in the capital in our past. We looked credible at times & earned Chelsea's respect.
