We shoot ourselves in the foot
Concede in both injury times
Didn't start the game with the tempo
We let them off the hook
We made poor decisions
Game management not good enough
It was about decision making
Played against a team with attacking pace
As soon as they break away we know they will score
Giving the ball away too easily, giving games away too easily
Need to back the win up, is this too much for them?
Sheff weds are a different team to Blackburn, with pace and physicality
It has to change
Didn't make changes because the team had energy still
Playing against players who will hit us with pace, we need to put them to their sword
Quality has to be better
Nobody in the box to put chances away
No lack of effort but lack of thought cost us the game
Need to move the ball quicker
Work to do
Disappointed
Taking easy options
Sheff wed are the best team in the division at pressing and winning second balls
Plenty of work to be done
Bidwell knee ligament injury
Players away

Openly said Sheffield weds are a different team. Stronger, pace and physical. Best in the league at winning second balls.

Amazing to say that now so why try to play the same as against Blackburn?

Worst news in that is the Bidwell knee injury as a few months of JDS is going to be an awful watch.

Dasilva cannot play every 90 minutes on repeat for months. Who else can play there?

The biggest surprise to me is any of our players getting called up for international duty.

I was messing with the idea of either Kitching or Binks playing LB even before the Bidwell injury. Feel like we end up overly exposed with both full backs high up the pitch, so could you play one of the centre backs there instead? Could even drift into midfield to ensure we have someone sitting to cover a counter attack.

Don't, not even in jest.
I actually thought JDS did OK in his brief cameo yesterday and it's fair to say I'm not a fan.
But if Bidwell is out for any length of time I'm sure he'll be in.

He won’t be able to play all of every game for months, somebody will need to step in. How has it got to this point?

As someone else suggested we may have to put one of the left footed CBs in there.
Though I wouldn't be adverse to reverting to a 5-4-1 ( or was it a 5-3-1-1) as we did first season back and boring our way to a few hard won points.

The problem with that is we’d have 3 centre forwards competing for one position, and then no depth behind the starting centre backs. It’s a shitshow.

We also seem to just rely every time on passing it wide to put a cross in the box and hope for the best. That’s now the corner routine too.

The medics should have been making their way round the pitch IMO everyone could see he was in a bad way.I don't know why the ref.didn't call them on the same ref. that stopped play when we were starting a attack for a player sitting down who clearly didn't have a head injury.Perhaps our players should try those tactics

I’d put Binks there if necessary. He’s better on the ball that Kitching

Lip service.
“Players still had energy so he didn’t make changes”, that isn’t the only reason you make changes, how about the fact Hagi Wright was playing shite and someone like Bassette or Torp could have been brought on to do a better job ???

Yes with Dasilva playing, it was a tongue in cheek comment and hopefully he shoves those words down my throat!
