Apart from goalie what kids did they have playing ?

There were at least three of four players in their team tonight that were under 21. It was largely a second string selection from a team sitting in the relegation zone. Are you happy with the draw or what?

2 under 21 outfield starters and one of them was their best player by a mile.

We still should’ve beat them, but it was always going to be a tricky game in those conditions especially when we took our better performers off (Sheaf and Palmer stay on we have enough to see that game out IMO)

Allen had the entire goal to aim at and just blasted it as hard as he could down the middle. Straight at the keeper. Pathetic.

It's not good but let's not pretend our side was strong.

Our best 5 players in the past 3 months didn't start today. 3 didn't play a minute.

Why aren't you counting the goalkeeper? He was playing wasn't he?

Anyone trying to play down the draw is a bit deluded. Of course it isn't the end of the world, but it was totally unnecessary. We should have beaten them easily and there are no excuses for it.

Because he is not playing as a rotation option, he is the only keeper they have eligible for this game.

Even with him that makes 3 and 2 of them are regularly in the first team.

A player with any sort of composure slides that in at the near post. It was an easy chance.

So we played against a few kids, and a largely otherwise second string Sheffield Wednesday team, but we are playing it down and arguing for what reason? I'm really not sure what you are getting at. They're in the relegation zone and we are in the playoff places. It was there for the taking tonight.

Our 11 on the pitch should have blown them away, I seriously don't understand why anyone is trying to argue against that. We were our own worst enemies tonight with some shit managerial decisions and appalling play from our strikers. Anyone thinking a draw is a reasonable result needs their head checking. Thankfully we do have another match in which we can win and go through.

Albeit not as easy a chance as the one the best finisher in the club skied in the first half.

Was disgraceful. After the Saturday game I didn’t want to tar all Weds fans with the same brush but it was clear from the get go tonight there was a large, loud contingent who were out for Palmer. And from reading their forum there wasn’t much of a kick back from other Weds fans.

Poor today especially second half just shows too many changes no good, good debut for Torp, a bonus, their goal was coming but poorcmistake from Wilson should have saved that. It also showed tonight we can’t let COH go mid season end of season look at it again

You made it out like we were playing their youth team.

The U21 aged players we 2 that are in their first team and a keeper they had to play.

They had the same defence as Saturday

For someone who was bought for his passing ability, Dasilva sure is good at completely missing the runs our strikers make in behind.

Tonight’s game showed just why we went out and signed a CM this transfer window. Without Sheaf and Torp, we didn’t look like creating anything.

Eccles didn’t play badly, but his performance didn’t stake a massive claim to be our Number 1 guy.

Final observation: 3-4-1-2 is dead too. We just look look flaccid whenever we play this formation.
