Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Kennyb41]

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.

All v industrious DDB, he's got weds well organized and trained up, making the most of what he's got, they're not bad actually, just not got 2 quality players

[Barlow Boy]

Are you bothered?

If he’d reimburse his ridiculous weekly salary, no.

[White Riot]

A clean sheet now would be lovely

Depends on the flappy bird

[CUSSIE01]

Meslier is, well, Meslier
Firpo & Bogle good going forward but terrible defending
Ampadu brilliant as always
Joe looking better tonight
Pascal among the early runners for player of the year
Gruev spending a lot of time covering for Firpo but that’s obviously the tactics
James getting into good positions but needs to put better crosses in
Gnonto doing well but needs to cut out the silly challenges
Aaronson MOTM so far
Joseph needs a goal for his confidence but doing well

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Different type of player. But industry can be contagious - particularly in the press.
It helps that they are not composed in possession.

Exactly. Piroe's strength is not getting the other players involved.

[BlackHillsPaul]

A lot more positive with him (Aaronson) at No.10, working well when he switches with Gnonto and James too.

I liked the interchange and movement from Gnonto, Aaronson, James, and Joseph. It was very fluid. I really thought we should have created more chances than we actually did. But it looked so nice!!

[Barlow Boy]

He can fck right off for me now BB, if i had the chance as manager now i really would consider just striking him off and let him fight for his wages thru the courts.
This twat has done nothing but cry off at the slightest opportunity when it's important or a 'all hands to the pump' scenario.

Now it's a 'slight hamstring problem'...yeah reet, just fck right off, this twat has never forgiven the fans for the abuse he received, and these times like the back end of last season are his 'payback' to them.

I've had my suspicions for a long long time, and tonight confirms it for me.

We are stuck with him Kenny, simple as that.

I’d let him rot, but we won’t do that, his salary means we have to, at least, try and make him earn his corn.

[SG90]

Have I missed it

Have they said where Bamford is?

On his way to Saudi Arabia

[The Subhuman]

He's making a massive difference, far more positive. And his rotation with James and Gnonto is good.

How do you solve a problem like Joel Piroe....

[Onemanstanding]

Decent first half, well played Leeds. Hopefully more to come second half.

[White Riot]

If he’d reimburse his ridiculous weekly salary, no.

Nice one BB

He's renamed himself Albert Ross the coach killer

[Kennyb41]

Not sure how good/bad Wednesday are, but that was pretty good from us.

Ampadu having a brilliant game.

They're not terrible, they'll not be getting relegated and probably top half depending on the size of their squad, lacking real talent but hardworking

[malcolmw]

BA seems to offer more than Piroe at the 10 by improving players' chances around him.

Yes I agree Ash. I think he's better in the middle than wide. He runs at everything - sometimes a little too much, but great work rate.

Piroe for me is upfront as striker. Better sub for Joseph than Bambi.

[AcrossThePondAsh]

We've had several really nice interchanges along both wings, Paul. Much like what we had glimpses of in preseason.

Obviously a good player. But doesn't fit our system.

[DDB220]

Beautiful

[YorkshireSquare]

That is just taking the piss Daniel! 2-0

[Madron]

What a pass

[John in Louisiana]

JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
