Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[DDB220]

Could do with a 2nd before HT whilst we have them under the cosh

[YorkshireSquare]

Bit of both, better players can attack and defend.

But when we attack he's playing inside left, just leaves us totally exposed.

[DDB220]

Gruev cannot play a forward pass

Is anyone playing ok WR ?

[The Subhuman]

Gruev much better defensively then as a centre mid

I'd agree with that...

Bit of both, better players can attack and defend.

I'm reminded of a conversation my father had with the (American) football coach at the University of Connecticut. Somebody asked the coach whether he preferred bigger, slower, players or smaller, faster players. The coach said he preferred the faster players as speed gave him much more flexibility.

"What about bigger, faster players?" my father asked.

Said the coach: "We don't get those players here."

Bogle looks like a rabbit in the headlights when he's trying to defend.

Wing backs will be wing backs.

Game's a cracker, and sw are contributing anorl, decent from us considering disruption

[The Subhuman]

Great ball from Firpo

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Great cross from Firpo.

Most of the traffic is down his wing
Wednesday seem to fancy having a go at him

[andrewjohnsmith]

Do we have a pair of wing backs who can't defend or does Farke play a system that leaves them continually exposed?

Or a bit of both?

We definitely have two formations. The 4231 is the basic. Then Ampadu drops into a back 3 in possession so the wing backs can get forward. We seem to get caught out when we turn the ball over.

[Irish Ian]

Bamford woukd have buried that.

I'm a Redskins fan John and excited about Jayden Daniels

[John in Louisiana]

HT 0-1

My problem with it is, particularly against Boro, we end up with two players high and wide each side, Ampadu dropping back leaving only one midfielder. We lose the ball and suddenly the oposition have the run on us and were scrambling to get back.

[White Riot]

Very pleased to see Brendan Aaronson having a great game.

Well done young fella.

Wednesday are poor though.

[Kennyb41]

Impressed.

[DDB220]

Were they poor or were we very good. Bit of both or have we just pressurised them into playing like that.

The latter for me. As good a first half away from home as we have seen under DF.
