Match reports from those who went?

The day after, this site used to have lots of interesting reports . But not anymore?

You can watch the full match on Player Shania. That'll give you a good idea.

First half I thought we did well playing a high line and high press, until they caught us out with a sucker punch towards the end - we tried to play the offside trap but Perch & Onuoha played them on. We had a change of formation too, with Chery playing wide right for the first time this season I think. Gladwin was actually playing Chery's usual role. Ariel and Mass were the holding mids with Mass the more advanced of the two. He had a good first half in particular and continued his current strong form. Sylla played the lone striker with Conor wide left again, but in possession it was more like a 4-2-1-3. Out of possession it was a 4-5-1.

The 2nd half was a massive disappointment however. JFH seemed to do nothing to change things at half time and we were clueless as to how to try and forge an equaliser. His substitutions did nothing to improve the situation - they were all reactive as opposed to proactive. As a result we just got worse and worse as the game disappointingly petered out. The only bright spark was Shodipo's pace and energy down the left but it was much too little too late. Wednesday had our one-dimensional tactics totally sussed out and remained in full control of the game.

Can anyone comment on how Sylla played, please? To be honest, I´m not sure what kind of striker he is really..

Sylla was subbed in the 2nd half through no fault of his own because as usual he was starved of service due to JFH persisting with no wingers, thus not playing to Sylla's strengths, and he became more and more isolated as the half were on.

The subs made no sense to me. It was pointless bringing on two wingers after he'd taken off Sylla who's our best goal poacher and who thrives on good crosses. Polter was dreadful when he came on - he did nothing except give needless fouls away.

Just been watching the goal now, and it is not Hamalainen who plays them on, but Onuoha and possibly Perch are caught behind the line when Caulker pushes up after his header away. So no need to blame it on Niko.

It was him. The bit you refer to was just before. Having said that, it's not really fair to blame it on him or whoever it might have been.

Yes it was Nedum not Niko. Watch again if you doubt it.

You're very welcome Shania. Actually writing that helped me to summarise my thoughts on the game whilst it was still fresh in mind.

.. Cheers.
