The Official Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol City Match Thread (Merged)

[Loco Rojo]

Losing in this manner could be a big problem for the teams confidence. Lee and Co have a lot of work to do this week. This result could be a big one for our season.

Let's get this strait everyone.  One player doesn't lose a game in this manner. Even two don't. 

Dire though wasn't it?

[Chairman Mao]

Derby not playing well, hopefully a response on Saturday 

[054123]

Slightly worried Tomlin missed the pen. I love his 'moments' and magic set pieces, but let's be honest of those dry up its not like he's a team player.

[Londoner]

Have sympathy for tomlin penalty misses happen.

Less so O'Donnell that's his bread and butter.

O'Neil?

And we rely on our top signing to be able to score a penalty.

Clearly the turning point, but everyone misses penalties now and again.

Worst it should have been was 2-1 up and a man up. Just a freakish ten seconds.

[ashton_fan]

We played well up until the penalty. However O'Donnell has to be rested, Frankie's a safe pair of hands, he deserves his chance now.

[keflav]

Disappointing tonight Tomlin needs to sort his head out (remove it from his own arse) and calm down, Tammy should have taken pen (LJ should have been making sure this happened

Flint needs a stint on the bench piss poor mistake on Saturday and useless again tonight, with Ekstrand and Moore to come it we can secure up the back 4....

ROD needs a smack in the mouth utterly ridiculous letting that goal in the twonk...

LJ need to put a rocket up his players tonight and look at his own decisions which lost us the game tonight....

Have to say gutted about the result shows there is a lot of work to be done..

 

[slartibartfast]

Here we go, we ae all officially shite, apparently !

[hollydog]

We really need to face up to the fact that our defence is very poor. The defending all season has been very poor - both Wigan and Villa could have been out of sight had they  taken their chances before we scored but the defending in the last two games has been rank. I cannot believe people were fearful of Flint leaving for a premier league club - he's not even decent championship standard. He has been the mainstay of a defence that has shipped around 1.5 goals per game since promotion. His positioning is very poor - hence the regular last gasp tackles and he  is simply not mobile enough at this level. As for the keeper........Did I really see a thread on here arguing he was the best in the championship or am I dreaming?

This is true but I don't think this will happen.  I think we're a bit more resilient than we were and I think we'll be able to see it as a bad day at the office rather than a disaster...

Flint has always been a shit defender.

Just camouflages it with his goals in the opposition box.

Ekstrand must start Saturday, and put some backbone into the defence

Lucic anyone? Please not Fielding for O"Donnell.  Lucic for me

Flint and O'Donnell should be dropped

How much effing room in the box?  Jeez........

Has something happened to Flint over the summer?

2 games sum up the Championship - width of a post on Saturday, width of a post tonight.

Box it off, close the lid - move on.

Some very strong contenders here. I think Husshen has the title in his grasp though. Let's hope someone doesn't snatch a last-minute win.

[collier]

On the plus side I doubt we will ever have that many bad decisions made by players in 1 half ever again. The penalty miss, o neil mistimed tackle, rod dropping a clanger and some more schoolboy defending and game management with 30 seconds of the match left. That's a lot of bad things to all happen in 45 minutes of football and we got punished for every mistake.

LJ: "I thought Tammy was outstanding on his own. But there's a couple I'm not so pleased with and they will know."

Yep but going defensive invites mistakes.  Keep it up the other end. We're not good enough to park the bus.

Ha Ha not quite but with the squad he has now he needs to start looking at all the players and not just putting the same ones in each week because of who they are....

Pff can I vote for myself? Not sure why people are particularly surprised that people are having emotional reactions though. You've gotta admit, that was a ******* annoying 35 minutes.

LJ on the radio now.

We need 2 or 3 championship quality players in the Window if we are to push on

Yeah and to be fair it is quite funny to watch until you realise it's all our own!

[Talk Of The Town]

We're a mid table championship side that has time to grow with a young squad. We'll win some, we'll lose some. 39 league games remaining

What I will say is without reading all posts on this thread is it seems you can't criticise players without being called all sorts,think a lot should grow up. When players deserve praise then give it to them when they don't then allow people to say it as it is

Sure but I think it's about perspective.  People tend to claim we're brilliant when we win and awful when we lose and the truth is we're a decent Championship side who are stronger than last season but still riding our luck a bit and are probably more mid-table than play-off contenders.  I also think the flipside to what you've said is that football supporters on internet forums sometimes feel they have impunity to criticise as harshly as they like without impunity but then seem a bit surprised when people criticise them harshly.  Ultimately if someone's not prepared to put up with abuse on the internet, they probably shouldn't be abusing people on the internet.

Why can't people have a meltdown given we have just lost a game in which we were 2-0 up? 

Do you think it's acceptable to throw away a game like that? 

Wish I could have the 'oh well' mentality of some people on here but unfortunately it gets to me a little too much!

In the history of Football I should imagine there's tens of thousands of occasions when teams leading by 2 have lost . Not unique to City at all . I'm sure there's been mistakes tonight by players and management , but get over it . 

I'm sulking as well , gutted , pissed off , the dog better stay out of my way , but count to ten , it's 1 game of 46 . 

You might not regret what you say , but what you say can make you look stupid . 

**** it I'm off to bed .

In fairness, made a few changes today.

He is still looking at all his jigsaw pieces and seeing what makes the best picture. Do not think he is sure yet. There are going to be some ups and downs on the way. Just one of those 'gutters' today. Not rocket science - need to stop giving away poor goals.
