On the flip side though am I expected to just accept it and move on? I spent nearly 12 hours in the car for that yesterday where the highlight of the day was bloody Burger King I can take losing I've followed Wednesday for 35 years so I'm bloody used to it but that yesterday was awful. Fair play to Plymouth thought they were excellent. You and the rest who travelled deserve better but I doubt the players or manager gave your plight a second thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the lengthy apology from Darren Moore last night who repeatedly stressed he'd thought about our fans going all that way and apologising for the performance and saying it was unacceptable and that it's his job to make sure it doesn't happen again? 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a hard done to Sheffield Wednesday fan walks out, walks slowly towards the street lamp, takes a big deep sigh, and then sits on the kerb beneath it to sing a heartwrenching sad song 'But what will I doooooooo noowwwwwww?' which tells the tale of how they went to a football match and their team didn't win, meaning they lost all direction in life and don't know how to get over it Sorry I can't sing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren has no plan B Can't agree more bud. Didn't really have much input last season due to taking over so late in the season, then spending 80% of it with covid. I was never a fan of the tika taka thing with Barcelona, let's just pass for the sake of it, used to bore me to tears. I'm just not sure you can make it work in the third tier as a quite a few sides find out when they get relagated and struggle to adjust. Teams down here tend to keep it simple. Drop off and defend deep as a compact unit when not in possession, or push up and high press to win the ball in the oppositions half. In possession it's about quick more direct passing catching pressing teams over the top or out wide down the channels into the space. We switched to a very similar strategy when Bruce came in and it worked a treat with Murphys pace out wide and fletch as the focal point. The worst thing is we're probably better eqauiped with the pace we now have to play this way. Hate to say it, but it's how the piggies finally got out of this division under wilder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched every Bolton Wanderers game last year in League 2 (housemate is a fan and it was lockdown). They used it tika taka style there, passing out from the back, knocking it around and after a slow start (they were 19th around Christmas) it clicked and they got promoted automatically. They've carried that form into League 1 and are 3rd in the table. So it can certainly work in lower leagues.

Worth mentioning that Murphy never played a game at wednesday under Bruce, but good to see the great work done by Monk called our for once . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory isn't great, probably forgot that we signed him under Bruce, then Bruce did a runner. Then again Bruce did spend half his time as manager here on holiday with his underlings in charge . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
