Kiwi Owl Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This is a great win and thoroughly deserved Completely managed the game. Also, credit to Darren Moore for sorting the left side of defence out. McGuinness has been a good addition from today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Overall deserved, not great in the final third early on, but solid defensively throughout.

KrolMong Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’ll keep it short. We looked big and organized. Especially spine wise. The front two worked tirelessly. Both were very good. Bannan, Byers and Bakinson ran the show. I thought Bakinson and the Mcguinness were very good. Palmer excellent too. Lots of 7’s and 8’s today. We play like that away every week, we’ll win a lot of games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesh Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) "One word. Outclassed. Look at how Barry Bannan played in midfield, We have no such player. Just look at his role in their first goal when Santos messed up. He exuded quality to set it up. He pulled the string throughout the game and every Sheffield player was up to it. Their new signing from up the league (Cardiff) McGuinness was thrown right in by Moore and immediately plugged their weakness defensively on the left side. Thats what you get with quality. We need a couple signings from above to really make us promotion candidates.Today we saw the benchmark standard required to be competing at the top of the league. There is a gap we need to close.

Mark Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Great away performance. Palmer outstanding, Iorfa much better, new lad very solid, and Bakinson an excellent all round game. Not going to be popular opinion but with options in CM, if we got a decent offer for FDB, and it helps us finance a forward, I'd take it,especially if he's stalling on contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 All of these points are so valuable because of who they are against. Six pointers really and that was an impressive result after what seemed like a damaging defeat to Peterborough.

Chelters Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 10 points from 5 games against teams who could all be in the mix is a decent start imo, particularly as it could easily have been 11 or 13 except for a stupid red card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M42Owl Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Overall, a deserved win, but it could have gone either way. For the first half hour they looked like they could score whenever they went forward: we were barely hanging on. And going forward, all our key passes were over hit. Then they missed the gifted one on one and the game changed. 30 seconds later, a Gregory header went close, another 5 minutes and we were two up. It was nail biting at times, but Bolton never really threatened after that bad miss. We need to cut out these lapses where we are caught in possession. It’ll cost us points eventually. In fact it already has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting though how he’s saying that and the gimps on the ITV highlights show seemed to be implying Bolton were unlucky, dicks - did they actually watch the game - no obviously. We we’re worth our win. Yes Bolton had chances but I think we at least matched them on number of chances and after the first 20mins (which you always expect the home side to come out strong, especially if they are confident) we had them pretty much umder our control. Really good debut for McGuinness, no one less than a 7 all round. Stockdale is improving as he gets to know the lads and is starting to use his shithousery for our benefit, can’t wait until we play Wycombe! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricat Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Great to see we are including shithousery in our repertoire now. McGuinness debut one of the best for a long time.

Stockdale is improving as he gets to know the lads and is starting to use his shithousery for our benefit, can’t wait until we play Wycombe! I picked up on the ITV comments too. Dross. And as for the usual loser comments, the only thing they controlled or dominated, (yawn), was possession: 57/43. Shots and on target both equal. He also implies they gave us the goals. Remember that huge chance we gave them, just before we scored? The one they missed horribly. Our goals were just about all we had, he says. Err... the Windass chance that most of us would have scored? Mind you, he does have previous at talking drivel. "The best team in the league." (Last season.)

Tylluan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thing is Portsmouth, Ipswich, Peterborough, Plymouth (?) probably don't miss that chance so that's us 1-0 down instead of 1 up. They probably don't make that horrendous back pass, that started the build up for our first goal, or balloon that free kick, just before half time, into row z. We dodged a bullet or two, yesterday. We still made mistakes that would have been capitalised on by better teams. For some reason the play into our forward line isn't making them effective in their primary role. I joked yesterday that it must be a tactical master plan to make the opposition worry that much over our front line that they don't pick the holding midfielder or marauding wing back. But that's a worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 I get what you're saying re our forwards Ty, Gregory's work outside the box continues to be very good though. Let's just keep winning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Tee, I don't want Gregory to be a Nuhiu tribute act, with knock downs and hold up play outside the box. I want him forcing centre halves backwards then finding a bit of space and getting a shot away. The fact he's doing so much outside the box shows that, in general play, our middle 3 doesn't function as it should. If we're playing through the phases then Gregory and Windass shouldn't be part of it til it gets to the 18 yard line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a worry. You know something I noticed. A constant switch of positions between Bannan and Windass. There were times where Windass would come deep and Bannan would go ahead of him and alongside Gregory. And actually, I didn’t think it worked as you often had Gregory isolated with Bannan and Windass 15 yards away from him. Bannan particularly looked on the periphery and was so focused on keeping shape that the stuff he is good at got neglected. That said, after the goal it did click as we then started to press with those three and then you had Bannan pulling the strings a bit more with Windass running down the sides. I’d almost say that we were playing a 3-4-2-1 at times. I semi understand having Windass come deep at times as he’s very good at running down the sides from deeper positions.

But that's a worry. Hang on, Ty. I'm sure we spent the week before last being told on here how tough last week was going to be: away against Peterborough and Bolton. Now there's a list of clubs shown that wouldn't have failed like Bolton did? Have things changed 'cos we've beaten them, then: the first team to do so for fourteen games, was it? (A bit like Groucho Marx not wanting to join any club that would let him be a member?) And one of those teams that wouldn't have failed against us like Bolton is Peterborough, who did sod-all against us until our twerp volunteered for an early bath. 🙄 I appreciate and respect the professional's attitude of, look for anything that might go wrong and make sure it doesn't, but give us a bit of credit. Anyone can miss a big chance, we see it regularly: see under 'Windass' yesterday. 😉 They're human beings, some of whom also play for Portsmouth, Ipswich, Peterborough, Plymouth (?). Enjoy it for a bit. 🙂👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
