You can predict what is going to happen when you see the team. How many people saw that team last night and the first thought was, I bet we will concede a penalty, he tried at Bristol City and another ref could have given it and cost us 2 points then last night against a struggling West Brom we gift them a goal (their first in 5 games) and it changes the match and that is yet another 3 points that Odabajo has cost us. If Lees hadn't taken a knock in warmup Odabajo would have been on the bench. It's a team performance by the way. What about stupid foul on the edge of our box that led to the pen? How many games have we seen that cost us the game? Some of you lads just need a whipping boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people realise that any media conversations with players/staff are full of nonsense. A combination of cliches, back-patting and unqualified claims of future performances that are usually obliterated when the opposition rocks up. For instance, the headline: "Massimo Luongo reveals the secret behind Sheffield Wednesday's success since the league restart". Oh what secret? Are we security cleared for such information, this could be really mind blowing, did the exorcism of Hillsborough by the local vicar get the go-ahead?. Luongo exclusively revealed that; 'We worked hard over the restart. [..] just a tweak from probably what we weren't doing before ' Well there you go. Now all our enemies know our secret. We shouldn't give away such valuable information such as the tweaking. We'd have won if WBA didn't know we'd been tweaking. The same is the claim of playing in front of fans at Hillsborough. Wednesday haven't won once in two performances at an empty Hillsborough, but have won once at an empty Ashton Gate. It's not the fans to blame and never was, it's quality, and we simply don't have enough of it to win against the likes of Forest and the Baggies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is looking thinner than Barry Bannan’s hair and you’re blaming Monk for that. Who would you have picked last night instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we will be cutting our cloth according to finances and aspirations for next season. We will either be bringing quality in or consolidating what we have and gradually building over two or three seasons. At the moment we don't have the funds to bring in the quality that WBA has. As a club we need to adjust and reset our expectations for the next 3 -5 years. The gamble of spend for promotion hasn't worked and we'll be lucky to survive in this league if the EFL hammer us. We need a solid foundation from which to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem since Christmas has been an exposed back 4 due to being overrun in midfield. This formation at least gives us a fighting chance to compete and dare I say dominate more in the midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I didn’t expect any points against WBA given their position and quality. Regardless of which team was picked. The last 3 games I’ve been presently surprised how well we’ve performed, given the absolute shambles we were prior to lock down. Last night I thought we played well. The 3 nil loss does not tell the whole story. I’m not sure what people expect to be honest. I think expectations need to be rest, at this point it’s about limping to the end of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you have picked last night instead? I think Doris the tea lady would have been better in a back three than Penalty boy. I don't for one minute believe a great deal that comes out of Monks mouth and find a lot of these picks an injury up in training excuses, how many times has it been used for Hutch, Westwood, Fessi. Lees might genuinely be injured but we will only know when he is released and he tells us his side. We had a few youngster who can play centre back give one of them a chance, it would be better to give then first team experience that a player that should not even be at the club.

We need to get a bigger buffer between us and the bottom 3 - I would be happy if come the end of the season it was 15 points no matter where we are in the league - then hope the EFL do deduct us any more.
