LAST CHANCE SALOON FOR DUFF

[Yankee_Jack]

When the ball is on the left wing Lowe roves over left of center and Cullen is staying right side

We do not look good again , but luck is with us so far , as our luck changes with Ginnelly going down off the ball . Wednesday far more physical than our lot , and they've now kicked 2 of our players off the park .

 

[The Blobster]

Yates coming on for Ginnelly.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Yates on … would have preferred Big Myk

Yates on … would have preferred Big Myk

Come on ,you know Duff saves Big Myk for the last 2 mins of injury time !

 

[The Blobster]

Crowd silent even though we are leading .

Flag up , Cullen goal denied .

Duffer liked what he saw at the start of Tuesday. 3+2 may be done. unless he does something Dufferish and play Ginnelly as LWB.

Yeah, it seems like 4-1-4-1 (Grimes in defensive midfield, Patino and Paterson in attacking midfield, Lowe and Ginnelly on the wings and Cullen up front) or 4-2-3-1 with Grimes and Patino as midfield pivots, Cullen up front, Lowe and Ginnelly on the wings and Paterson in attacking midfield. I like both formations. Finally, an attacking line-up.

Whatever line-up we're using, Ian Walsh and his co-com can't see it. He's already commented on lack of style and tactics saying he can't make out what we're supposed to be doing. He demonstrated his point by saying that in one move there were four Swans players in a line up front with not so much as one player using the space created in midfield. We might be leading but Walsh remains unimpressed and I listen to his comments because he tells it as it is. Pretty certain that he can't abide Duff's methods....... like the rest of us.

Cullen was played onside by the goal keeper who flicked the ball to Cullen after making the save. When the ball was last played Cullen was behind the ball … therefore onside

Radio comms agree saying that Owls are very physical and turning the game into a fight. I've got only one response to that - if you can't handle yourself you've no business being a professional footballer. I was kicked black and blue when I played (not as a pro) to the extent I can barely walk these days. But, sure as Hell, I gave back a lot more than I took. Your own pride and self-esteem demand you do that.

A non merited 1-0 lead , can we hold onto it with 45 mins to go ?

I hope Nathan isn't out for long, it didn't look good. Lowe had a very nice penalty I hope we can score a couple from open play. Wednesday look threatening at times, they can get forwars quick.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Wednesday look dangerous getting into the final third

 

[ivoralljack]

If Walsh is anything to go by we'll be very lucky if we don't drop even more points today. Owls sound more up for it and are playing with a purpose. He says we are playing like a bunch of individuals and not as a team. How many more times are we going to hear that from knowledgeable people? Surely some of it has leaked back to the Liberty suits. No matter the result today, our team is playing crap with no signs of improvement whatsoever. Duff wants more time. We can't afford to give it to him. I hope the club realise that.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Yates working hard

 

[The Blobster]

Wednesday hit the bar

 

[The Blobster]

Yates, wooooohooooo

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Frantic game. Yates score

 

[Yankee_Jack]

But …. We’re so loose at the back especially on set pieces that we can yet snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

 

[The Blobster]

Patino , wooooohooooo. Out of sight without looking good, but that was a good move and finish.
