mkowlthesexynewversion Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Not watched as was travelling for most of it but that is a cracking result. Iorfa presumably misses just one game, with Johnson back, then James will slot in to the back 3 Quote

Before the booking he was inches away with a very late sliding, I'll be generous and call it a tackle. It was a tackle. You said it yourself. Can I ask MAL, Have you played football at a decent level. He was probably sent out with instructions to get in there heads, which he did. Like you said tackle. It's not a tickling contest. That I think was his job. Job done won the game. Next week. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 That is absolutely massive that 3 points. A travesty of a referee, both in the Iorfa sending off and the non sending off of Raggett. But what an away performance, yet again, solidity beyond compare. Clean sheet. 3 points for the 5th game running. There's a lot to like about Wednesday right now. 1 Quote
KrolMong Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 That was a mesters display that. This Wednesday team are so well drilled out of possession that even against 10 men, Portsmouth looked good until they got 40 yards out. And actually, had Gregory’s touch been better, he’d have sent Dele Bashiru away one on one twice. We have a system that very much is geared to ensuring Bannan, Windass and the wing backs can play. We looked so much more dangerous than them, even more so second half when we got a foothold. A fairer result would have been a win by 2 goals just in chances alone. Our only issues are just over discipline. Waaaay too many free kicks today, the two yellows for Iorfa were harsh, but I did think we’d end up with 10 given how many fouls we committed. But, they should have ended up with 10 for the absolute horror tackle on Dele Bashiru. That’s a red on a Sunday morning, so an appalling decision by the ref. Some outstanding displays today, Flint and Famewo, Dawson, Vaulks and Bannan, Smith and Windass and James was excellent when he came on and Brown had a good first half. Let’s hope the injury to Byers isn’t a bad one. Just on Portsmouth, decent side and play some nice stuff, but no pace. It all broke down 35 yards out. 1 Quote

HoylandOwl Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 For those who can see embedded tweets on here (those without ad blockers I believe) Here's Iorfa's yellow card which saw him dismissed. Here's the NON red for Raggett's assault on FDB Quote

I did NOT say it was a tackle, I said "let's call it a tackle", it was that late it was a straight red if he caught him. What does it matter what level i have played at, is this where you tell me you know better because you were a star. what he did was so stupid, it did not get in their heads, all it did was get in the refs head for the second half, where he gave us virtually nothing. The rest is just rubbish. It is a tickling contest now, I played when you could tackle hard, fairly and unfairly, not like the powderpuff stuff of today's game. Quote

Have a read up it's interesting. 1 Quote
HoylandOwl Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 Hard tackles (but fair or 50/50) are hardly ever allowed now. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 Byers' injury doesn't seem so bad at the moment according to DM - here. Quote
Chelters Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 So if we can win just 6 of our last 12 it means that : Plynouth have to win 7 of their last 10 Ipswich 8 of their last 10 Barnsley 10 of their last 12 to overtake us. And remember it doesn’t matter if only one of them does it Quote
Skamp Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Eight more wins. Eight more wins. I hope we get 101 or more just to shut them scruffy ***** up. 1 Quote

More likely Palmer slots in, leaving Flint central and Famewo left, and Hunt or Adeniran take the RWB slot. After his second half showing I'd keep James at LWB. 1 Quote

If he's on it he let's it flow. Tbh first half today I thought it was fair. The red did well but pompey and there commentators thought otherwise. Maybe I wear blue and white specks. Quote

KrolMong Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 The maths is simple. 101 points, so 24 points from 36 available. Or 8 wins from a possible 12 which is very very achievable. Quote

HoylandOwl Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 Interesting views from former Owl, Guy Whittingham, on our performance. It's not arsey, or salty, honest and mores to the point. Correct. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 This makes me laugh, in an article written by the Pompey press where they asked a fan for their opinion on the game. Quote It was very frustrating and I don’t really understand why they were doing it from the 20th minute, but I guess that’s how teams get promoted. You saw the players were also getting frustrated, people like Owen Dale and Connor Ogilvie, as Wednesday slowed the game down so it was difficult to make chances. The referee could have been more forceful, he wasn’t really encouraging them to hurry up and should have intervened more. Their goalkeeper kept killing time, while others were messing around by throwing the ball back to us when it was their own free-kick. It reminded me of Ipswich when their fans were throwing it further up the stand. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 Awwww bless... Their manager didn't like it. As we've said before on so many occasions, we've had our fair share of shithouse tactics against us over the years. And we've nearly always fell for it. While I get that some people don't like it, it's not 'nice' to see players kicking the ball away, or even at times people berating calling time wasting, game management. But it is exactly game management isn't it. And after all, isn't it about managing the game to get the result for your team? Or am I getting the idea of trying to win football games wrong? We don't play shithouse hoof football at every opportunity, we're playing some good stuff AND managing the game. From my point of view, it's bloody good management overall. DM has had his detractors on here, and everywhere over the past year or two, and I've not always been enamoured by things but I'm more than happy to get a large slice of humble pie and admit, right now, I wouldn't swap ANYTHING about our season, our squad. We're out working, out thinking, out scoring our opponents, if going unbeaten for 22 games, and winning the majority of those games in the process can't be applauded, then god knows when things can be applauded. We've got under the skin of Ipswich fans, one of which tried to have a pop at me on the OO twitter last night. It was funny, they're saltier than a freshly gritted road right now. While they conveniently forget that they've had probably had the biggest number of signings in the EFL this season, not for inconsiderate sums either. It's easy to blame others isn't it? We've all likely been there in the past too. Other team's fans rattle on about how much Barry Bannan is paid. Yet no one even considers how much the likes of Nathan Broadhead, Sam Morsy, et al at Ipswich are paid, but I bet it isn't 3p and a bag of Skips per week. Look how much they have spaffed away on players wages over the years and got their club into the shitpile they've been for 20 years... Again, we've been there too. It seems that many fans don't consider we're a club which has a much bigger fanbase, a bigger turnover, bigger attendances, than theirs which give us the option to pay potentially more wages than others. But don't let facts get in the way of a good argument!!! It's easy to be disliked when you're at the top. So I say, here's to the next 5 years of being disliked. 6 Quote

EBRA Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I got my head around the 6 minute injury time in first half sort of BUT not with regards the second half 6 minutes injury time. 12 minutes extra yesterday - it feels increasingly like Ref are extending the length of the game these days! Quote

JBO Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Us and the Pigs were both originally down to be at home on Saturday. It happened earlier in the season and they moved to Friday so I guess it was our turn this time Since then they have made the FA Cup QFs and are playing Sunday but too short notice to change our game Quote
