Wednesday - Cheltenham - OMDT


Recommended Posts

Well done Wednesday, a good win today and our fitness showed. Cheltenham tried to replicate the tactics of teams who have chased us about everywhere, but simply didn't have the legs to keep it up, they ran out of steam.

 

Bad news for Lord Snooty btw, no tea tonight for him. Seems Stubbs has been moonlighting and he scored two goals for Exeter today. Can't see him getting back from Exeter in time to get tea on.

Out of 21 shots, only 6 on target and 4 end up in the back of the net.

 

I really hope we twig it now, that you don't need the ball to be a pile driver or the top corner in league one, most of the time get it on target and you have a 50:50 chance of scoring.

Great win. Score doesn’t replicate how tough a game we had. Cheltenham came and had a go and caused us some issues. But we were really gritty and scored goals at the right times. Once the 3rd went in their heads went. 
 

At this stage of the season it’s just about beating what’s in front of us.

Good result against a decent team.

If the last few weeks have taught us anything, it is that we can play well & get results against teams that come and have a go like Cheltenham & Burton. Both had a go & both got clobbered.

Beating tactically niave teams like Cambridge and the inept (Charlton) is easy. It's teams that shut up shop & make life difficult for us like Accrington & Gillingham that we struggle against.

One moan - you can have all the sports science, tactical planning, fancy formations etc, but YOU STILL SEND THE KEEPER OUT WITHOUT A FKG CAP..
BPF was stood for the entirety of the first half shielding his eyes from the sun. I wonder how much that played in the opening goal?
I think it certainly may have worked in a favour with Gregiory & Hunt in the second half....

Please...send the keeper out with a cap. Don't have to wear it, just chuck it in the back of the net & it's there if needed.

Where do they get these ref's from. He gave some very strange decisions today. League 1 football, league1 ref.. But a great result for the owls and great to see jack Hunt take is goal so well. We now need to keep grinding out results and the playoff's here we come. uto

Got there in the end.

 

They gave as good as they got. 

 

BPF save critical and then that piledriver hitting the bar.

 

Our extra bit of quality made the difference when it counted.

have to give cheltenham credit there owner claims there wage bill is 10% of ours yet they gave us more than a game and easily could have been 3-2 up before we got the late goals . performance 6/10 but the win is far more important today and goal difference too.

Yes, Wednesday on Saturday is better than Wednesday on Tuesday and Wednesday on Wednesday. 

Absolutely.

 

Like a different side.

 

Even today with the ups and downs, we created more than enough. Tough match though, they were half decent.

 

I just wish we could trust this side more on their travels. They have the quality but sometimes our application goes wanting.

Good game great result and we deserved the win  but 4-1 flattered us. ....


4-1 did flatter us 

 

I hope we can get some form now - we’ve never clicked this season at all for a long period, now is the time - we’ve got enough in defence, plenty up top - it’s the midfield 3 I’m concerned about, the tempo we saw from them 4-6 weeks ago has dropped off a little, they’ve played almost all the minutes - we don’t really have anyone to step up to their level. Might be worth giving one a rest, let’s hope we can get into the playoffs early and rest some.
