Sheffield Wednesday (A) - FA Cup R5 Post-Match Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

Does anyone know why seemingly random rows were netted off tonight? Is it to do with the concourse capacity or something? There must have been over 1000 seats with netting and no apparent reason. It had to be a safety issue.

Beer more expensive than Wembley.

It was stated that the capacity at Hillsborough had been reduced for safety reasons. It sounded like the stadium was falling apart in places.

Slow and boring.
Wasteful too.

Absolutely, our tempo was shocking

Absolutely, our tempo was shocking

But I think that was on purpose. We treated the night like a 66% training session.

When you think we’ve had a run of:
Spurs a
Leicester a
Madrid a
EFL Cup final
United a
Arsenal h
Madrid h
Liverpool h
with West Ham, Burnley and Newcastle thrown in.

Tonight was a chance to give the players a run-out, a full sided training session and we won and got no new injuries.

Possibly. Maybe deliberate by the players, but I don't think Pep was too pleased.

They were well organised. It’s not easy playing against that system, I thought in the 2nd half we played well and should have scored more. Wasteful as ever.

We should be beating Newcastle.

Some good teams left in the competition.

Perhaps I was watching a different game. In the 2nd half the tempo was fine.

First half so so, but I think the discipline and shape of wednesday surprised us.

They were very, very well drilled and defended their box excellently.

Honestly I thought we’d break them down much easier.

I actually enjoyed tonight and thought we were decent and looked good without tearing up trees. Mendy looking like a footballer and stones having a decent game were both positives for me.
