horny owl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We were playing against a cr@p Cardiff side It was obvious the ref was going to make his own impact on the game So why do our players give away cheap fouls and free kicks We made it easy for the ref to gift them a goal tonight The cheating coont couldn’t wait to award them everything and we let him do it very poor from us and we need to learn from it FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there’s always something about Wednesday that let you down. No matter what we do, or who the manager is, it’s not meant to be for us to be successful. Today is something we've seen before many a time. Yeah seen many times before... Awful toxic fans having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did. He just did so without effing and blinding, tw*tting the referee and tying the linesman to a corner flag by his dangly bits, which is what I'd have wanted to do. He's jumping up and down; he's even looked at the 'keeper to see where he is to make sure he does it and of course it's a distraction. Jumping with your arms and doing a starfish jump has to be a distraction. I don't know why that's not interference or offside. He's clearly offside and trying to interfere with the goalkeeper's eyeline, but there's nothing we can do about it. How they missed that, I don't know because it's not hard to spot - a 6ft 5 inch player doing star jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve conceded a goal in the 87th minute in a game we should have won. Monk got his subs wrong (in hindsight). It’s OK to say that. The game was there to be won, so I’m not exactly pleased about ‘nearly’ winning it, that’s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggle immensely to kill games off and always have. We sit back, invite it all on and then the outcome is inevitable It’s because we don’t take our chances when we get them. The opposition will always have a spell in a game where they look dangerous in this league.But at 2-0 you normally deal with it better than at 1-0. That extra goal advantage is a huge psychological bonus for the winning team and has a detrimental effect on the side pushing for goals. We dominated the first half. Second half we came out strong and should have killed the game then. Off the top of my head, Luongo was in but made the wrong decision. Fletcher had a tame shot saved should be doing better. Bannan broke through and unleashed A pea roller into the keepers hands. There were instances in the first half where we should have killed it to, but decision making wasn’t right. We aren’t clinical enough and haven’t been for 2 seasons. We rarely manage a game well and punish the opposition when on top. Boro this season being the only exception. Throughout our midfield and attack I don’t think we have a player who you guarantee will take their chances when it falls to them. Therefore when we fail to get a goal, the opposition grow into the game and we panic as we don’t have the mental toughness to see a game out. We’ve seen it time and time again.

owls7 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I thought the first half was some of the best football we've played this season and we should of been more than 1-0 up. Second half yes we sat back I was slagging Reach off until I noticed he did two cracking tackles back in our half kept an eye on him after that he did a lot of running and pressing. Murphy oh god don't get me started one of the worst displays I've seen in a Wednesday shirt. FF must start in front of him now. Luongo to me looked unfit not saying he had a bad game to be fair he did ok just needs more match time. Still think the free kick was a joke goal and let's face it var would of ruled that out. Overall a lot of positives and some negatives Bb coming off I couldn't get my head around anyway onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBob Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Maybe Monk saw that the ref was giving lots of fouls (some correct, some not) and decided it wasn't the correct 'environment' for Fernando with how the ref was. I mean, Fernando has something to prove to get back into the team, we know he can be persistent and a nuisance to the opposition player, hounding them down. He possibly thought with the ref giving 'niggly' fouls he would end up booked or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine FF charging around with his enthusiasm and then someone like the fat idiot Tomlin faking injury to get FF sent off. I suspect FF will play a bigger role on Tuesday when there’s less spot light on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subs he made only invited more pressure I can't agree with that. There was a set piece earlier where Dawson came and got nowhere near it, and a couple of other pinballs in our area. Flint and Morrison are two of the best at winning headers in the league and would cause any team problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It was another classic Wednesday away performance. We played really well first half then ended up sitting back in the second and failed to impose ourselves. The free kick was a soft decision, but time and time again we give away fouls in that area. So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes Bannan off and leaves Reach on and then leaves FF on the bench and brings Murphy on instead He's got to be resting him for Stoke / Leeds games coming up.
