Match Day Thread Sheffield Wednesday versus Norwich city 19:45 ko

Feels like Preston all over again, but cant see us getting anything from this

 

I’m not going to criticise the players, we are down to bare bones. That doesn’t only affect us by missing a large chunk of our first team but it also puts an increased load on the players we have left.
Marcondes didn’t have a club 5 games ago and we were aiming ease him in. Now we are having to make him play 3 games a week.
Sorensen has come back from a long injury lay off and now having to start games immediately.
Crnac wasn’t planned to be used as a striker yet.
Long has played 5 or so games now and doesn’t look to be improving, there’s at least 1 mistake every game, inevitably leading to a goal.

 

I’ll say it again, this ref is giving us nothing

 

67% possession, and still 2 down.
We ain't going to get anything from here.

Worst defending display this season

 

Fouls committed 7 Norwich Sheffield Wednesday 0

 

This is our first choice back 4, no injuries there, but they're constantly beaten and wrong sided. It's awful to watch.

 

So much for my "pleasing surprise". Let's try "astonishing miracle". COYY

Sainz should make more obvious attempts to stay on his feet, then it will be obvious, even to this ref, that they're hauling him down.

 

Yeah says it all about the ref

 

They don’t even have to hit the deck to get a foul given

 

Come on Forson, need his energy and need him to show his qualities

 

Chance for Forson to do something good. He needs to impress somehow.

 

For all complaints about ref and injury list, we are looking so flimsy and disorganised. Poor passes, weak on the ball, we are making every Wednesday midfielder look like Yaya Toure. We are pressing haphazardly so it is like a training game to break our press. Long has had a shocker. Crnac aimless. Simple, unnecessary and obvious fouls given. Not closing down. Good breaks wasted with poor passes.

It’s all designed to give Wednesday maximum confidence and we are so easy to play against. We cannot just rely on a Sainz worldy.

 

Trailing 2-0, we haven't even managed a shot this half.

 

Crnac should have taken that pass a lot better.

 

Fassnacht on for his first appearance this season.

Comes in for Fisher, not sur Wood the formation now

 

Sainz puts the ball in the net but offside

 

Is this a back 5 with Forson and Fassnacht as wing backs.

Relentlessly poor going forward. Wednesday getting loads of defensive training practice and never really looking stretched.

 

Doyle has a lead weight in his left boot.

 

Doyle all night chipping those balls to the keeper
