Road Runner Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 • Got the team working as a unit • Has the support of the players • Sees a problem and rectified it • 3 wins from 4 Against Millwall with the possession and shots in any other game if we had taken the chances - Bullen can’t score the goals too but set the team up to pepper Millwall and they did. We would have scored 4/5 it was just one of those games. Against Luton, shocking first half Jos style, under Jos this would have continued. We all wanted change at half time but he stuck with the team saw the problem and rectified it at half time. Second half same team but different style of play. His record would over a season average 76 points plus, he knows the club, knows the players and knows their strengths and weakness. Don’t try to fix what isn’t broken because if you do you may break what wasn’t broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 On what planet would anyone expect Sheffield fecking wednesday to win all four of our opening games regardless of who we were playing? I wouldn't expect this team to win all four of their opening games if we were in league one. Millwall away is very very tough game for anyone. The den is a horrible place to play in for away sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I love the idea that is still espoused on here, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that there are easy games & hard games in the championship. Usually accompanied before OR after games with “We should be beating teams like this”. Goldfishtalk 7 second memory’s!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't _really_ creating. In general, we are neither particularly profligate nor clinical this year (so we aren't where we are by fluke, although I agree that on paper we have had an easyish set of fixtures to start with) You can't put that all on the manager, though. Better players than ours can struggle to get past a team that's parked the bus like Milwall did. Just one of those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 We can only play the Teams in front of us on the day, it isn't Bullens fault we haven't played Leeds yet, either way we have 9 points from 4 games, who's to say which ever other manager would have had the same result. Pointless OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscounty Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 For me if football's a results game then that answers the question for me. I think the best thing is to just get behind the bloke and encourage him with all due respect to the original question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Given that Sky bets had us down to finish 24th at the end it the season it’s quite interesting that you think that the first four fixtures were “easy” and that we should have 12 points in the bag already. The gulf in expectation between fans , pundits and betting analysts is often quite remarkable !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 That Sheffield Wednesday fans can look at any opening set of fixtures and declare them as "easy" is absolutely baffling to me. I've been actively watching this club for about 25 years now and can comfortably count the number of memorably good starts on one hand.. with fingers to spare. Generally speaking, any Sheffield Wednesday start to the season has got a win, 2-3 draws and a couple of weird/frustrating defeats written allover it. You can only beat what you play. We've done so 3 times out of 4. And to be honest I think you can make a solid argument for all 3 of the sides we've beaten coming good later in the season. Reading appear to have already started. In general though I don't understand the clamour to name a manager in general, be it Bullen or anyone else. Bullen is the gaffer right now and that appears to be understood and appreciated quite clearly by the players. At least while things are heading in the right direction, why upset the apple cart or make commitments either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably after 3 wins out of 4 it’s not the best time to say “I told you so” about this particular matter. I like how Bullen takes positive action when he needs to. Against Reading and Barnsley the game plan was working so he stuck to it. Against Millwall we had a right go at it and though we didn’t make the breakthrough it was not for want of trying. Against Luton at half time he transformed us from second best to match winners. We haven’t had a manager who gets to grips with a game like that for a long time Also I like how he rests players when they take knocks. Speeds recovery time and keeps fringe players motivated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
