Wednesday (A) Match Thread

[Jobyfox]

I must admit I was nervous when I saw our starting eleven. We’ve changed the entire midfield since the last game. 
 

Yunus and Casadei definitely don’t give us the control that KDH and Ndidi do. How long does Enzo leave it before they come on? 

[jonny_wright]

The only comfort is we only turn up and play from mins 60-95 every week, we just need to make sure we are still in the game after an hour

[Simonb]

Still think it'll end 4-0 .. they're crap.. Once we get into a rhythm and get cesare off we'll walk it

[squidsworth]

Hideous game and wtf with that line up? Being totally ripped apart through the middle and back line, should be 3 or 4-1 to Sheffield could have been 3 down in 10 or so mins. Thank God they can't shoot!

One thing is for sure... attempt this style of football in the PL and we'll come straight back down.

[Dr The Singh]

It's a side with different personnel, and i'm not sure about the formation, and we struggled.

 

It reminded me of a night out with new friends and finally getting a bird amd after 15 beers and 1/2 bottle of whisky, im struggling to perform.

We are top of the league and playing interesting football. What more do you want?!

[Collymore]

Possibly one of the most worrying performances I can remember in a while. If we were playing a half decent team we'd have shipped 4 so far! Many look half asleep!

100% my thoughts.. literally cesare off .. one of them on and we'll boss the game. 4-0

[Rasmic123]

Been impressed by Sheff Wed approach to the game, they've pressed us a lot more than I expected of a team bottom of the league. And they should have scored at least one - clearly lacking confidence. 

 

Leicester have been poor, Casadei hasn't played well since his debut couple of games

He's Italian the same as Enzo.  That's the only reason he keeps playing him. He's Gank.

Or we are contracted to play the bloke. 

[Vacamion]

 

The first 35 minutes were pretty ropey. Sheff Weds probably ahead on xG.

 

You can tell we are missing some players.

 

But the last 10 minutes of that half you could start to see Wednesday Players blowing, not chasing as hard, and you could see Enzoball happening, us knocking it about and then trying to speed it us.

 

Confidence is still high.

[RowlattsFox]

Only watched since we've scored but it's been poor. I appreciate why we do it but passing around Vestergaard is boring to watch at times. These are shit but we are giving them hope by encouraging them to put pressure on us and not really attempting to create anything. 

 

It's pretty much like most games, I can see us scoring 2 or 3 in the last 15 and it will look comfortable. Especially when we bring on the fresh legs. 

 

Must be frustrating for the forwards constantly making runs to be ignored. Yunus has had some tidy touches but hardly ever passed too.

It’s not interesting though, is it 

[egg_fried_rice]

all it needs is wilf and/or kdh in the middle and a dressing down at half time... still confident we'll win.

[Chrysalis]

All our attacks so far came from direct play, conceding so much play when we trying to pass it around.

 

Should be losing 3-1.

 

Hopefully we up the tempo and more direct second half.

Is it just me or are the majority of our games so boring? 

Nope we are awful to watch.

[tom27111]

Utter shambles at the back.

 

Should be about 5 behind.

We're the league leaders beating teams left right and centre. They're bottom of the league and they are largely on top and should really be out of sight.

 

They've come with a game plan and we look rattled. 

 

They lack the quality but they've been the better side. You can't argue against that.

I’m absolutely staggered by your assessment of the game. Is all I can say. They have NOT been the better side at all.

[Jonezy]

So so sloppy. Wedensday's XG must be through the roof; we gifted them some serious opportunities.

 

How are we winning this? Hope Enzo rips into them, because that was a proper crap show that half.

If we played like that against West Brom they would win

[Turtle27]

I swear I read somewhere that Enzo said before Casadei signed that KDH could learn a lot from him about off the ball runs and attacking. Has he even watched him play before? He’s like a poor version of Neil Danns

Yeah I know the slow build up ain't for everyone but I for one enjoy watching us try and unpick defences. Enjoy less the numerous errors we make but hopefully we'll get used to this style as the season goes on

Why are they both not playing?

[80footgiraffe]

Honestly one of the poorest performances so far this season. Not sure what’s changed since the Leeds match but feels lacklustre and that cutting edge we saw against the likes of Norwich & Southampton seems to be gone. I want to see Cannon for 45 mins even just for some new energy.
