Chelters Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Comfortable first half, could have been 2 up. The second half performance was mainly due to having no one to hold the ball up front. Gregory or Smith in and it would have been different. Stockdale was excellent, Heneghan also a lot better, Ihiekwe and Palmer both decent as well.

owl71 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Do for me that. Stockdale, Heneghan and Ihekwe doing what they were brought in for. Exactly the kind of scrappy away win that top 2 sides need to rack up. Absorbed a few spells of pressure pretty well. Their best chances came from people trying to be a bit too clever on the ball. Not worried where the goals are coming from with Smith and Gregory to come back. Biggest worry is the left sided centre back position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 FDB was excellent today and did a great job when pushed forward. I was critical of Stockdale but he did well today. The 2nd half was poor from us in an attacking sense and BB yet to get going. Obvious we need pace in final third. If MK carry on like that they will be nowhere near top 6, but who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Apart from first 20 mins thought we were very flat today. A valuable 3 points though so will take that especially with Gregory and Smith missing. Thought Stockdale won us the game with 2 excellent saves. Dele Bashiru is going to improve each week and needed as Bannan below par. Hunt, Palmer and Henegan all steady. Famewo looked awful and was blowing before his injury.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I still think the heat played a part - it got warmer as the game progressed, certainly felt like it did. How much that played a part, how much the defensive mess last week lead to more caution. Lack of a player to hold it up - who knows. Bit of them all. One call I will make, I am not convinced Bannan will be an automatic starter come 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercockle Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 20 minutes aside, it wasn’t a great performance or game. I think MK makes a good point about the heat. Players on both teams looked leggy. Positives were we won, kept a clean sheet, the back three looked better without Iorfa. Stockdale did well and last season we probably didn’t win that game. FDB keeps improving. The negative was another injury. I thought he looked half decent there. Strong and positionally aware. It looked like the sort of thing that keeps our players out for a good couple of months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what we’ve done to deserve it/ I know what you mean, we've picked up so many cards already and I'm sure our opponents in both games so far haven't had one (could be wrong) However, having watched the highlights, I think we need to to thank the ref for the penalty. It looked to be clearly outside the box. Lovely forward dive from Windass though to cause some doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Jeez don't peek at OT there is thread saying yesterday was "embarrassing" because of our game management approach. From the same people who invariably moaned about the late goals we conceded last season. What I thought was important that the Wednesday fans appreciated the situation and really got behind the team from 80 minutes onwards. Think Stockdale makes reference to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Anyway, back to yesterday's game. Based only on the highlights, I think Stockdale deserves a massive well done, after all the shit he got last week. If he's wank and gets hammer (according to some), then the same needs to happen when he has a good game. That save from the poked low effort which he gets down low to his right is brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the types of saves that Wildsmith and Dawson just couldn't make and the reason they got so much criticism. The types of saves that keeps the supporters onside. As sad as it is, he needs to back it up at home next weekend. Only then will the noisy naysayers will start to turn positively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
