Clearly Dean not fit yet. That's my only concern, I think it's worth losing some ability on the ball at the back in order to have more aerial presence, I'm concerned about set plays. Otherwise its our best team imo with the expectation of Windass who's probably not quite ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Bench looking very strong as well. Some good options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkley is good at what he does, he just doesn't suit our way of playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalAlien Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I've been keeping myself busy all morning, a bit of distraction sort of thing. Strangely though, I'm not feeling nervous today. I think it will be a tight game, but anticipate us winning the second of our last five games of the season, culminating of course with a Wembley victory. 1-0 to The Wednesday!

We don’t half get ourselves in trouble losing possession at the back, and Dunkley is our best header by far. Also with Paterson on the bench we are quite a small side today.

I'm no big fan of dunkley, but he does offer qualities we are lacking, ideally Dean would be fit but he's not even on the bench again. You can't really blame the Wycombe performance on Dunkley.

FinnishOwl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm happy with that starting XI, it's the best we could do and plenty of options off the bench. The subs may become very important if we don't start to dominate the play and score early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlsPilgrim Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Great match day thread as usual Snoots, thanks for your postings and threads throughout the season as well. Obviously it all boils down to this game after a rollercoaster of a season, my thoughts and wishes pre season were to bring a balance back to club and rebuild the squad with an eye for the future. I wasn’t expecting an instant return to the championship but I did want us to be challenging for the playoffs. I hope the professional experience of the players will shine through and deliver a positive performance and use the home crowd to our advantage. Going for an Owls win of 2-1. UTO!

the_vinyl_frontier Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Strange feeling, I feel like this should be a walk in the park. Portsmouth should be on their holidays and a big home crowd to get them nervous. But I just know it's not how we do things. What worries me is our recent performances, if we do get in the playoffs, we could relaly embarrass ourselves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Gonna put us through the wringer aren't they? Bet we're out of the top 6 at some point during the day. 1-1 draw coming from behind, and a 5th place finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
