Get used to games like this, lads. Pretty much every team is going to come
to ER with that gameplan. That's over 180 mins this week we have thrown all
we've got at a packed defence and garnered one scrambled goal. I think,
despite the fact that all our "stars" have legged it over the horizon, that
we are still going to lose loads of players to international squads in the
next week. Nevertheless, I hope Farke has enough of a rump of the team left
to work on ways to get past these low blocks. Farke has been hugely
impressive so far.but now the real acid test arrives. Can he mould
this lot we are left with into a potent Div 2 side?

Anyway.an international break in which we are condemned to
watching the bloody Wales matches! What a comedown!

These “Happy 70th Birthday, John” messages are brough to you by the Sheffield 
Wednesday society of entertainers and fun-loving footballers.

A madly frustrating game. Sheff W were set up not to lose. They bullied our 
’star’ forwards relentlessly and were allowed to by the ref. You could see that 
had we got a goal we would have got 4. But we didn’t.

The keeper made two very good reflex saves to keep out Rutter and Summerville. 
And Gnonto had a decent shout for a penalty ignored.

Meslier - good at the saving and shot stopping, less good on the distribution - 
although he was probably following orders
Ayling - as soon as we get the ball he disappears up the wing, beyond the 
midfield…which makes it really hard for him to get back and cover defensive 
duties. Missed a carbon copy of the header he scored again WBA
Shackleton - one of our best players on the day, and yet he’s not a left back - 
when did we last have a good left back, was it really Dorigo?
Rodon - not convinced yet. There’s something there, but there’s also something 
missing - bit like a new Pontus without the flare
Struijk - I like him, I think he’s a good player - the Dutch and the Belgian 
national teams don’t come calling for bad players - yet, there is always 
something lurking just waiting to go wrong.
Ampadu - signing of the season so far - energy, tackling, commitment and decent 
passing 
Gray - looks to me like a young Gary McAllister - needs time and support - and 
like Ampadu, needs movement ahead for when he has the ball
Summerville - I like him, pretty much unstoppable when running with the ball, 
needs to get his head up and release the thing earlier sometimes - needs 
referees to understand the fouling he is subjected to
Piroe - hardly saw him - as a withdrawn striker - doesn’t seem to make sense - 
poor first touch, poor free kick
Rutter - one or two good things, nice subtle touches through for running 
teammates might have come to more. Also one dreadful attempt to lob the keeper 
when through on goal that just feel into the keeper’s arms.
Gnonto - got a battering off their defenders but kept getting back up and 
fighting on. Deserved more, including a penalty.

Spence - came on and immediately made two really good blocks
Kamara - not on long enough to have an opinion.

They came and got their first point of the season. So having failed to beat the 
bottom team the week after beating the top team, this feels like points lost.

[LU] Wednesday ( Saturday)

As Rich W has already said this was not the fun in the sun we were all hoping 
for.The rail strike ( we had to get my daughter in law to come from Salford to 
pick us up - what a darling) meant the pubs were sparse as presumably more fans 
drove, but the mood was upbeat , general feeling about Sinisterra and all the 
rest was" fuck em" and we dont want any of them back., but that a game against 
a poot Wednesday side was just what we needed It should have been that way as 
we did create chances and more half chances but they were all fluffed. Piroe , 
our greatest hope, really showed why he is not in the Prem as he dragged his 
only opportunity well wide - for some bizzare reason our new no9 , with his 
amazing goalscoring record was playing behind Rutter.  Rutter fairly 
ineffective missed 2 good chances,  the first well saved the second a soft chip 
right into the keepers hands. Shack had a good shot just wide from outside the 
box, Summerville blasted 2 over, and Ayling missed an identical  header to the 
one he got v west brom.
Wednesday offered almost nothing but had 2 chances all game, the first Mes 
looking more like his old self came out well to save , the other a cross to the 
penalty spot to an unmarked striker who semed to blast it into the ground and 
over - best chance of the game  A clean sheet is very welcome but it was 2 
points dropped
Hard to be too disappointed,  our season really starts v millwall.  Farke has 2 
weeks to get everything sorted . The players who are here are here to stay, 
whether they like it or not ( Willie and Summerville both certainly put in the 
effort yesterday) The new players are here and , international players apart, 
he has 2 weeks to get them to gel and get some of the injured lads back

Lets hope the new additions are all we hope for - Jaidon Anthony looks decent 
enough as a replacement for Sinisterra but without that extra quality. - Farke 
now has the team he has and can get on with it. We have been the better team, 
despite results, in every game so things should look good if we can get it to 
click. Millwall away is a very good test, a shit team and a shit club who will 
give it everything in their cup final

Quietly confident that this is our year. Whether Norwich bottle it is open to
debate but our squad is good enough to win this league.

Great day out.

I thought it was another great performance from us. From the first minute we
were quicker to the ball and made Wednesday looked like a second rate team.
Bannan had their only decent chance but apart from that I just couldn’t see us
losing.
Atmosphere was brilliant with a lot pissed people who had benefited from a
couple of extra hours drinking. The Millwall result helped too.

Just watched the Wigan v Norwich game and Wigan have some decent players
including Clarke up front but I fully expect us to steamroll them.

Back to hangover city.
