Fantastic to watch. We are without doubt playing a beautiful game. I wouldn’t swap this at all.

The gulf between the sides was ridiculous. We were a well oiled force and Wednesday atrocious at best.

Duffy Goldy Norwood and Fleck wow it’s a total joy to behold.

Yeah with hindsight perhaps Sharp should have done for them, but easy to miss a pen.

Goldy was sublime throughout, well played lads I absolutely loved it.

The crowd was great also. Next time we get what we deserve and that’s to smash them.

Murdered them first half. Second half we ran out of steam.

Duffy looked off the pace, same with Freeman.

Chuck a few quid at in during the JTW and i think we’d push for the top 5. As it stands I think we could make the top 6, and would give anyone a good game.

Wednesday's first clean sheet of the season and we failed to capitalise on having a penalty, lots more corners and possession. What's to like?

 

[Oldun]

Draw draw draw draw

Agree with this post. I wasn’t even that frustrated tonight, would have been nice to win but I’m happier with our style of play.

Even during the good times under Warnock I’ve not enjoyed watching my team play more than I do now. I took a derby supporting mate with me tonight who was in awe at times with our approach play.

You know its alright playing fantastic football , BUT WE NEED TO TAKE A LEAD FIRST . Get it crossed in until we score one then play the tippy tappy football that's great to watch , we have done it a number of times now where we have dominated but not won . We really need to focus on scoring and taking the lead first . Get it in the mixer where Billy will get on the end of one instead of passing it !!
I really feel deflated that we didn't win tonight after completely dominating the game , but hey-ho move on and all that !

Played some amazing football, but we lost out on 2 important points there, I'm not sure why we find it so hard to shoot from anywhere outside the penalty area!?
We should've had more shots on goal instead of getting into dangerous areas and then passing it out of them!????, don't understand why we do this, we played some sublime football, and made Wendy look like a league 2 side tonight, but we wasted the chance to go top unfortunately.
Record signing upfront come Jan or forget promotion.

 

[Topplayersleave]

They always look for that extra pass
It's almost as though they have to pass it to Stevens or Freeman, after all they've run 60 yards up the field so to not use them would be rude

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Would prefer pass pass pass cross.

 

[diode_blade]

Would prefer pass pass pass cross GOAAAAAAAL

Corrected for you kind Sir.

How many times do we hear that of the teams we play?
"First clean sheet"
"First away goal"
"First win"

We should be beating teams with the football we're playing, but we just can't score because in my view we over pass!

Pigs don't need any help from us to look league 2.

My only criticism of the passing yesterday was that at times we over passed the ball. We had it in decent positions but didn’t cross it in - on other occasions fleck/Norwood/Duffy had space for a shot from distance, you could argue that long range shots are a low percentage chance but we know they are capable - just look at Flecks effort in the first few minutes. We were looking to score ‘the perfect goal’ which meant we over played a tad.

Norwood, Mcgoldrick and Egan have been excellent signings. To think some were wanting Waghorn in his place!?!?

We create enough but need that final piece of the puzzle with a top class goal scorer with some pace. Push the boat out and get another one or two in January and we have a very real chance of promotion.

 

[Trueblade]

I’m incredibly proud to watch a group work there nuts for 90 minutes for the shirt. They play wonderful football and give everything.

Expectation always rises and I wish it wouldn’t we should just enjoy what this lot bring. If we don’t get promoted then so be it. Amazing how quickly some forget the horrors before Wilder walked in the door!

Wednesday soon cottonned on to our obsession with us passing the ball out to the wings at all costs. They then sent 2 or 3 guys over to the corner flag and crowded us out, preventing us from playing one twos or crossing it. In the second half they went one better and actively steered us out to the wings so they could nullify our attacks this way. It was the only thing they got right during the match as they were fucking awful but it got them another 0-0 win.

This doesn't make any sense. You're saying that the style of play doesn't get goals and we need to play a different style - some kind of direct punting it forwards - before going back to passing football which doesn't get goals.
If punting it directly gets the goals, why would we revert back to passing football at all? And if passing football is inferior to punting it into the box, why do so many top teams pass it?

First half against Villa was better.

 

[Iceybabey]

Motd 2 last week they spoke about 'small' players at Man City and Chelsea, looks we've gone for the midget look too.

Second in the league. I presumed we must be scoring goals.

"This doesn't make any sense" Its not rocket science mate , if can`t work out what i am trying to say i really can`t be bothered to explain !

 

[WhiteHawk]

Wednesday made only 52 successful passes in the second half. Pathetic.

Someone might go through the stats as the dust settles, but I suspect the answer to your question is 'Not very often'.

It's happened a few times this season!

 

[raimond]

I've nowt we don't already know to say here, we're class and play some lovely stuff but bugger me we're frustrating to watch too.
So many chances to get a cross in, a shot away, and don't. Can't really fault us but we looked scared to take risks in the attacking third- it'll cost us goals and points again.

I love it all, just wish we'd take the reigns off a bit and take a chance. We're a bit like someone who's fucking mind-blowing at foreplay but can't get a hard-on

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

After the first 2 matches this season, where a 'first' is not a surprise, I am struggling to recall a single example. It is depressing that Wednesday kept a clean sheet and won 0-0, but it doesn't happen as often as we sometimes think.
