I think Allen had the break out of the team to clear his head and get his confidence back up so he can play well like we saw last night he has Championship experience and is a good little player so if we need to play 1 up front I would prefer him and Ohare as the AM

Absolutely not, just some people have Hard-Ons for slagging certain players and Allen is in that place this season for some reason

Soccer????
Sounds like it was written by an american. And I'd expect "match winning" rather than "game winning"

Whoever wrote that definition doesn't understand the concept of a winner either. I didn't realise it was that hard to understand.

That didn't put us into the lead - it equalised Clive Allen's goal.

Point taken.
Here’s a better example.
When Huckerby scored that late goal against Man United it meant that Whelan got the winner

For me the 'winner' is the last goal you score that puts you into the lead.

So if the score goes 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 the winner is the second goal
If it goes 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 it'd be the first.

And me, in that 2nd scenario. If you didn't score the 2nd goal you wouldn't have won, so how can the first goal be the winner?

Wednesday supporters must be really worried after that display. They were awful and created nothing. The only chances I remember them having were a speculative long shot that Wilson almost turned into his own net and the free kick that clipped the bar.
At least in games where we haven’t scored recently we have had gilt edge chances to take the lead before seeming to switch off.
Last night the first half was poor from both sides but in the second we stepped it up and created more and looked good all over the pitch. The more I look at gamers corner the more I wonder whether goal line technology was switched on and max very unlucky not to score on rebound....reacted quickly and only the unwitting face of the defender stopped the goal.
But Wednesday didn’t react after going a goal down and just seemed to be going through the motions.

Surely the winning goal is the first goal scored by the winning team after the opposition has finished scoring, unless the opposition don't score, in which case the winning goal is the first goal scored.

Whelan scored the first goal in that game? Not the winner.

whela’s goal - cancelled out by solskjear
Sherringham’s goal - cancelled out by Dublin
Winning goal.... huckerby


the definition is poorly worded, but the other two were cancelled out. Huckerby’s was the first not to be cancelled out

The winning goal is the one that gives you the lead that you retain till final whistle!

Gives you the lead. Not extends the lead.

I thought we played well last night, and a big 3 pts for us. If we can follow it up with another 3 against Birmingham, I think it’ll set us up with a very good chance of staying up.

The diamond suited us well and O’Hare was brilliant. Really happy he got one over some of the growing discontent aimed at him.

TBF we don't conceded many at St Andrews and don't give away a lot of chances. I thought Wednesday were much improved from when they beat us, just lack a cutting edge,

I noticed Bannan in particular was much improved - which to be fair usually translates into their whole team performing better.

I think Wednesday aren't given enough credit on here. They are not a bad side and have just had a reasonable run of games. We did well to keep going in a scrappy game, great play from O'Hare - his hard work paid off.

Don't forget could have been three, the Wednesday player that cleared off the line didn't know a thing about it, it just hit his head, in fact he fell to the ground holding his head afterwards.
