Great confidence booster for the team. It was pretty effective, as you say nothing else matters if the points are picked up. Give Kachunga, Wildsmith, Dele Bashiru and a few fringe players a run out in midweek now, get them up to speed and should have enough to beat Rochdale.

Well done Wednesday Exactly. Cardiff have done absolutely nowt to worry us today. I can't remember the last time I felt so comfortable watching Wednesday away, it felt weird 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, striker said: We need points on the board, however they come I don't care. Head says draw, heart 0-2 Wednesday win. I know it's arrogant to quote my own post, but not often I get it right Work in progress, but pleased with that. Strikers scoring goals, clean sheet and 3 points to start the season. All played their part, fighting for the ball until the last minute, very much a team performance. Just a note on Reach, I've been critical of him, but thought he did much better when he came on. Well done Wednesday, great start to the season.

TodwickOwl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Quote of match from commentators at end ‘Got to think long term where the goals are going to come from in this Wednesday team’ 2-0 down to Wednesday at home 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well done Wednesday, a brilliant result and solid team performance. Very pleased that we looked good at both ends of the pitch. Was worried about where the goals were going to come from but a more solid team defensively helps our creative players to create more. Really pleased to see Windlass and Rhodes on the scoresheet and to see us close out the game against a tough side renowned for their set pieces and late goals. We got to be pleased with that team performance. Yes, Cardiff were disappointing but we didn't allow them to bully us or to flood our box with chances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Just now, RBigs said: What did everyone think to Van Aken ? Was a little wonky early doors, gave away a couple of free kicks where he might have done better. But..Settled into the game, got the measure of his man and didn't put a foot wrong 2nd half. Even played the decent forward ball. Still think Borner is our best option on the left of the 3, but van Aken did a lot to lessen any worries we had from his performances a couple of years ago. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the last time I felt like this on an opening day was when we had Brighton away and we went and won 1-0. A good start couldn’t ever be more important. Turned out better than that Brighton game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willow Owl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Great result against a team that finished in play offs last season. We’re still a work in progress so hopefully more to come. Well done Monk, well done Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Better side than Cardiff, Great effort from the lads I honestly thought Windass could be great for us, with all that energy and determination he gives us something we haven’t had for a while , great finish and honestly think he might bag double figures for us this year Rhodes, nothing needs to be said , everyone knows what he is and what he does but I think the whole team is behind him and everyone is dying to see him back amongst the goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante's Bubbly Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well done Sheffield Wednesday. That was one the most convincing opening day performances I have seen for a while. It is not very often that a team makes Cardiff look pedestrian, but we did that today and thoroughly deserved the three points. As the commentator said, minus nine definitely sounds a lot better than minus twelve. UTO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime Tree Heros Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Great result. 2 goals and a clean sheet, everyone in the team can take so confidence from that going forward. Roll on Rochdale on Tuesday, I'd go with strongest team as poss - keep the momentum going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 BTW did anybody else think that Monk looked quietly satisfied, when he came on the pitch with that wry smile? Good for you Mr Monk, your player choices this window, the team choices in the two games so far and the up and at 'em tactics all combined today to get that result. Even Van Acken looked at home in his role today. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Can never remember if it's mustard or custard with humble pie, but a decent slice for me tonight. Good stuff. It is 37 years now since we won in South Wales on the first day of the season, and went on to get promoted to end our longest period away from the top flight. Will history repeat itself? Errr, no. All the same, terrific start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
