We certainly play too conservatively in the opinion of many Wednesday fans given the attacking talents at our disposal. Also given we paid so much for Rhodes we've done little to play to his strengths expecting him to play much deeper than throughout his career. We've really missed Forestieri this season, he can be hit and miss at times but we lack a match winner without him. I've seen the Bannan thread on here yep he's one of the best central midfielders in the Championship, if he could add goals to his game then I doubt we'd be able to keep hold of him. What we lack is a few players who can mix it up physically so when teams come with this tactic we can match them. A couple of years ago we got outbattled in midfield against Hull at Wembley with their midfield of Diame/Huddlestone. We've done little to change things since. The above frustrations along with seeing our rivals doing as well as they are is leading to much unrest in the fan base.

Thought the points being shared was probably a fair reflection of the game. The first half neither of us seemed to want to attack and make a mistake. We often play this way which has been a frustration for many of our fans. At times we'll make 10 passes to get 5 yards up the pitch when it could've been done in 3 passes. We'll play this way appearing to await the other team to make a mistake and leave an opening. Though this way of playing as become less effective over the last couple of years as teams get plenty of players behind the ball against us and know what to expect as we're generally quite predictable. Also what hinders us is the home crowd on many an occasion. We have stupid ticket prices, have made big money signings and have players on big wages. As a result many fans expect Wednesday to be in the top 6 minimum. As games drag on without scoring or creating many chances the crowd get restless, booing a 0-0 at half-time bring a prime example. All in all in doesn't equate to a confidence building environment for the players.
