Match Preview;
Our hosts on Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday, who before their loss against Norwich on Wednesday, had won two in a row after getting a point at home against league leaders Leicester City. They sit below us, in 23rd, and are seven points away from us. Their challenge is clear to see, as they are the divisions lowest scorers, having netted only 14 times in 21 games so far. Their top scorers are Anthony Musaba and Michael Smith with 3 goals each.
As for us, after 3 wins in a row, Plymouth managed to frustrate us at Loftus Road, despite only having 10 men for most of the game. As was pointed out on the match day thread, it seemed our build up play was back to being far too slow, and easy to defend against. Particularly away from home, we need to start being a bit more direct, and getting the ball to our runners quickly, to create chances. All this playing back and forth in front of the opposition's box just gives them time to get organised, and break down any attacking move we make. It was a frustrating watch last night. Respect to those of you making the trip up to Sheffield on Saturday.
Team news and manager comments to go up asap, and as always...
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
