Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[NorfolkWhite]

Klich Sky MOTM, rightly so - impressive tonight.

[Chilli D]

How the hell did we not win that? We absolutely battered them in the second half. Klich was outstanding

[leedsmad]

Our squad is to thin in my opinion , our players are going to burn out with 46 Championship games and short turnarounds .

Up front is a real issue with our current injuries , Roofe might take a few games to find his form again.

[Cjay]

So so frustrating to not win that.

Really good performance just lacked in front of goal.

Cant blame anyone for the goal we conceded, wonderful strike.

Klich again was absolutely brilliant.

But my god we should have won that, we need to win games like that if we want to win promotion.

[NorfolkWhite]

Bielsa cracks a smile in post match interview, he was laughing at the fact he was being asked that as he had won many titles previously did he think he could do it at Leeds? He pointed out he hadn’t won many titles and he was pleased with the gernerosity of the comment but people could easily find out the truth however he hoped he could change the stat at Leeds!

[leic white 63]

very disappointed we didnt win that. . absolutely dominated the game we must be more clinical and imo feels like 2 points dropped and a loss but overall a very good performance .

Don't know how we did not win that game. We seem to want to walk the ball into the net.
Klich is now our top scorer with 4 goals and for 3 of those he has shot from outside the box.
More of our players should follow his example.
Saiz in particular. He want to sprinkle unicorn pixie dust on every pass in or near the box.
It would look good if it came off but it rarely does. He is great at getting us on the move
and getting forward, and I think he is missing Pablo. His passes to HArrison were of better
quality than those to Alioski, or perhaps Harrison positioned himself better to receive the ball.
We had 21 shots on goal and Wednesday only had 7 and their goal was an unmitigated
chinese chop of a swinging ping pong ball fluke... I was dumbfounded that the commentators
thought it was class... if that were class then so are the hookers in Holbeck.
Proud of the team and disappointed that all their industry did not secure a victory, but a point
away from home is always good.

Got in late today but followed the thread. Well done us but unlucky not to win.
Thanks one and all for your apposite comments and erudition.
Given who we have missing I'm not disappointed with that result.

[Norm]

Klich once again shows his true value and emphasises TC's failure last season.

Completely agree regarding Saiz Rab, As regards Harrison whilst he puts himself he positions to receive the ball, he never seems to make best use of it. His attempted crosses into the box were very poor this evening. It's more a hit and hope rather than picking anyone out.

[Norm]

When we get Roofe back I predict another cricket score soon - we're more than holding our own and the value of Bielsa's fitness regime has been demonstrated once again.

Klich goal

[Newport white]

don't deserve to be losing but it's the same as last season, just not making chances count

as i said before we'll drift back down to midtable now - which is befitting of our squad

bielsa obviously better than TC but he's not a god (despite what people on here have been saying!) and the squad simply isn't good enough

So annoying some of the negativity on here!! I’ve bit my tongue until the end so what’s your thoughts now after we have totally dominated with our not good enough squad considering we are missing 4 key attacking players?

[rab_rant]

BPF thinks the ball is going out. Any other day it would have hit the post and bounced out. Totally undeserved goal.

[Norm]

M'Bro and/or WBA could overtake us but we're almost on the Holy Grail of 2 points per game so, with a cracking away performance despite a third of the team out, I'm convinced we'll do OK. I agree Bielsa isn't a God but is proving to be a much more human, effective bloke with a sense of humour.

[SG90]

Gutted to only get a point, completely undeserved for the wendies, but we're just not getting any luck atm. On another day we win 8-0, but such is life. I think we'll give someone a hammering soon, hopefully on Tuesday. The annoying thing is we'll probably have Roofe, Bamford and Brown all fit and firing at the same time, whereas we could do with just one atm. Definitely missing Pablo, but he is a genius and not easily replaceable. Harrison has no confidence when through on goal, Clarke would offer more no doubt in my mind. Also Forestieri and Fletcher's constant diving and feigning injury was embarrassing! Loved how the ref refused to stop play when Forestieri was rolling around as he knew he was faking it

[SG90]

Be interesting to see who plays when Beradi is back. He's been outstanding this season and we've missed him

Cooper's the one who deserves dropping, but sadly it will be PJ and it will weaken us at the back.

Joint top Roofe has 4 too

[The Subhuman]

Nothing to be negative about imo, Yorkshire derby away versus a good championship team with 3/4 first teamers out including our striker. And we outclassed them.

[irishpat]

We should have won that spent money as well ,, still thought bamford for 10mill was steep sold viera for 7 ,, better player than Phillips miles ... bought a keeper don't think I'll ever trust cooper he's definitely not prem material tom lees and Westwood would be nice ..

Long year lads we need these results ,every team has a plan b , I think Bànnan might have done the same if his teammates pressed like Phillips team mates did Leroy fear made a child out of him when I seen viera make micnce out of Bradley Johnson will Hughes and think huddlstone ,, that's the role that he had marked out for viera enforcer and class passer ,, teams are figuring us out there's no harm in plan b play two strikers big small ,, how the hell didn't we win clear cut chances which I hate saying it we would have one if lassoga or wood were playing ... Harrison improving every game , prob Hernandez and Rolfe playing that game would have been won .
