Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[BillyBremner]

Never underestimate an opponent - Wednesday are 3rd in the table taking into account the last 5 games played in the league. Only we and Ipswich are in front of them.

Leeds 0 Norwich 2 .. All Leeds for 70 minutes, we had a player sent off on 65, Early goal and injury time goal did the job for Norwich

Jimmy is like playing with ten men atm. Pointless keeping him on if injured, as he's not contributing anything.

[JoeDenver]

I hate defensive changes mid game ... keep Amps on, plus he's hitting these long balls well

Agreed, Sub. I just fear he’s walking a fine line.

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Finally we put a ball in rather than trying to walk it in. Maybe the players will learn now.

Our other best chances have come from the Amp's long balls to Geo.

[Carrick Dave]

That's why Firpo is on, Byram doesn't have that

Assist of the season.

I got that pissed off I ended up reading about the goal on here before my stream caught up/


Now here is the thing, this match has Hudderfield vibes, in that game we were awful and I am sure DF would have wanted to change things at HT, then there was the sending off so he didnt.

I reckon he was planning changes tonight but that late goal will probably steady his hand, but we have been absolutely dire tactically and in some of the performances

Clinton Morrison just said "Sheffield Wednesday dominated the first half" Not sure if he get a different view in the studio!!!

Firpo never ceases to amaze me. Been dreadful all game then pulls that out.

[CUSSIE01]

That was a brilliant cross by Firpo but we could have been 3 down due to his mistakes so I’d still prefer to go with Byram.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Wonderful sequence between Paddy and Firpo to end a dreadful half. Still think some changes are needed. Jimmy and Kamara look shot and Ampadu might need to get a rest given the yellow.

I would have said that 10 minutes ago. But we started playing better towards the end of the half. Now we have a lead, I'd be happy with the two unenterprising midfielders.

Pivotal point of that half was the Mes save. If we had gone behind they would have pitched tents in the 18 yard box.

Need to keep it tight for first 10 mins as they will come out fizzing at the bunghole.

[Finnatic]

Apart from the goal our best attacking play has been the ball over the top, it’s been way too congested to play it through the middle whilst trying to walk it in.

Worth another million when we sell him in the summer.n

[billysboots]

Not sure why he doesn't take corners ...

That had never occurred to me until you just said it.

Nice

Yup, precisely

There's no way he's injured. Pretty sure Farke would have started Gnonto and James if he is.

Maybe 20 mins, but not the whole half lol. They only really had that one chance, similar to the Geo one. Not playing well, but we've been clinical so far.
