Honest review

First off how we didn't end up on the end of a 3 or 4 nil defeat is beyond me. Thought you was better all over the pitch especially down the wings. Thought Gooch had a great game. I do feel we played in to your hands my just punting the ball aimlessly for majority of the game but then again that was probably down to the high press you put on us. Also need to give a shout out to who I thought was one of your key men and having a look at some of the threads on here got a lot of stick. I thought onein had a great game. He controlled bannan so well and didn't give him a chance to take control of the game as he done on so many occasions this year. Honestly after the game I was happy it was only 1-0. Can't wait for Monday to see if we actually go for it instead of watching the sitting back we did last night. Do feel we play our best football at home especially when we push forward. Was always worried about playing at stadium of light just for the fact the noise you fans create to behonest is unreal at times and honestly think 1 0 overall especially after the game is a great result for us.

Also your managers tactics was spot on to so shout out to him.
Easy game plan for you lot you need to go for it got to score, reckon it will end 1-1
Would be massive for us to have Broadhead back don’t think your defence will handle his pace

Good summary. Your players were rightly delighted to only lose by one. Different game Monday. We have Alex Neil though.

^THIS

But Bannan wasn't at 100% so Monday will be a different story. All to play for.
 
Not trying to sound like an arse but I couldn't believe how bad you were, hardly put us under any pressure at all. That being said you're a different beast at home and I doubt you'll play that poorly again so I think frustration is still my overriding emotion. Happy we've got an advantage, but it should have been more and I just hope we don't regret it
I take some heart in the fact we were clearly the better team last night, but I’m not naive enough to know Monday will be a completely different game. It’s important we play the way we want to, even if it’s reserved & not let Sheff Wed dictate the game.

All to play for for both teams, I’m glad we’ve got a goal head start, slightly disappointed it’s not one or two more

Sets it up for Monday well. You’s are very strong at home and we are very organised away from home (only conceded 2 goals in the last 7 away).

Hope whoever wins in this tie goes up. Wycombe annoy me and Franchise Dons can fuck off as well.

Think we’ll do the same again on Monday, and just get right on top of Bannan from the off.

Broadhead may be on the bench for us on Monday which will be a boost.

I think you are being a bit too generous. I thought we were a bit fortunate to be ahead at half time when both teams were poor. We had a great 20 minute spell but your players threw their bodies on the line and got some crucial blocks in which kept it to 1-0. You then had a decent spell yourself. 1-0 was about right imo.
Yeah I agree with this. It could have been 2 but 3 or 4 is a bit of an exaggeration, think that would have flattered us, would have had to be ultra clinical for that. Like you say they put their bodies on the line during that l early second half spell. They were probing last 15 and I was pleased they didn't score during that period, because it would have really hurt us.

Have to agree. Yous are extremely lucky it's only 1-0 as 4-0 would have been fair. We hit the bar, Stewart missed a good chance near the end and Cirkin missed a gilt edged chance from around 7 yards out.

Bannan was poor, but that was down to O Nien hassling him all game long. He simply has to do the same on Monday and he will be kept quiet again.

Didn't think much of Berahino, he didn't get a sniff from Batth mind.

I think 4-0 would slightly have flattered us. We didn’t create a great deal of good chances. I think 2-0 would have been a fair result as we controlled the game for 65-70 minutes. It wasn’t a battering though. Until we scored just before half time it didn’t look like we were going to score.
Thought 09 was poor overall

Worked hard, did the things O’Nien does. Really limited with the ball at his feet.

But those chances I mentioned were huge chances, three huge chances. We had more possession, we had I think three times more shots than then, more corners.

We were better, we wanted it more, we controlled it more.

Agree. First half they didn't get a stiff. First 25 minutes of the second half, how the hell we didn't get a couple more was beyond me.

They only got Into the game near the end and it should have been all over by this point. On another day we are sitting on a 3 or 4 advantage.

Bloody football, man.
 
The two you mentioned (Gooch and O'nien) are two of our most important players yet for some bizarre reason get a lot of stick on here.🤷‍♂️
Sky put up a graphic towards the end of the first half showing that Bannan had the fewest touches in the game at that point - that was down to O’Nien.

I had convinced myself he’d been booked for that early challenge and nearly shit myself second half when he actually did get booked!

I don't get the dislike for him. He isn't the best in the world and is a league 1 player. Never hides and sees a lot of the ball which means he will make errors once in a while

he is the least of our issues. And the manager kept him on all game so I trust his judgement.

I don’t disagree with any of that. I don’t feel like it was a 4-0 performance though. 2-0 would have been about right. A controlled, deserving win but not a rout
 
Thought he was good. Gave him a job and he stuck to it for me. Totally took Bannan out of the game
This place often has a different opinion to everyone else about players.

It was good watching the game with other (non-SAFC supporting) people last night (I usually watch on my own or with my dad but went to the pub with my mates last night) and 2 of the players they were impressed with are the ones who get singled out for criticism on here (Cirkin and O’Nien)
