Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[brightn'ove]

We look like we've imploded and can't be arsed.

I don't agree, Wednesday are in front of 40k fans and going for it, we've lost two of our best players, two more to injury and we're clinging on. Still on at 0-1.

 

[spence]

Two key injuries, two key suspensions, and one goal down - it's just not cricket.

That about sums it up for me. Not our year.

 

[doogie004]

Yep doing exactly the same

Loyal supporters

 

[martin tyler]

So no Dunk, no Stephens, no Hemed and no Goldson. It just gets better and better.

Whole spine of this team wiped out in 2 and a bit games. Looks like Dunk will be the only one back for the home leg as well

 

[Triggaaar]

We don't even look like scoring. Again can't get our best players on the ball.

We can't get them on the pitch!

 

[CHAPPERS]

“interfering with an opponent” means preventing an opponent from
playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s
line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball​

Looked to me like the Wednesday player on the edge of the six yard box blocked Stockdale's view of the shot.

Yep, ran straight across his sightline

 

[Stat Brother]

Wednesday have advertised both 'goals' on at least 3 occasions prior to them actually happening, and yet they still did.

We're just a team of strangers kicking the ball about.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Two key injuries, two key suspensions, and one goal down - it's just not cricket.

Take a deep breath. Still a long way to go in these semi-finals...... we'll just have to do it the hard way, in typical Albion fashion.

Will only make success taste that much sweeter.

I think the ref thought there was no touch, players said so, after talking it through, ref said it was offside.

Good old bottle job brighton ****ing typical

 

[Si Gull]

What game are you watching?

Too many mis-placed passes, poor concentration, hoofed clearances and hopeful lobs into the area for the last 10min.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I think the ref thought there was no touch, players said so, after talking it through, ref said it was offside.

That may well be the case, in which case it is excellent by the ref.

 

[Mackenzie]

So no Dunk, no Stephens, no Hemed and no Goldson. It just gets better and better.

At least Dunk will be back, hopefully Hemed and Goldson aren't too badly injured.

 

[One Love]

Will the real Anthony Knockaert please stand up

 

[spence]

I don't agree, Wednesday are in front of 40k fans and going for it, we've lost two of our best players, two more to injury and we're clinging on. Still on at 0-1.

I said before kick off our bench looked weak. Can't see us scoring today

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Take a deep breath. Still a long way to go in these semi-finals...... we'll just have to do it the hard way, in typical Albion fashion.

Will only make success taste that much sweeter.

If only I had your optimism!

 

[LamieRobertson]

it's only 1-0. have some faith people!

1/0 and effectively only a quarter of the way through....but hoping we don't lose any more players otherwise BG will have his way and the DS will be playing

 

[Clive Walker]

This happened 2 years ago. Such terrible luck

 

[Worthingite]

Im so used to crushing disappointment in the play offs that I am meekly following the game via this thread. We don't turn up for the big games, injuries or suspensions aside. From what I am reading on here it's more of the same, I'd rather detach myself from it than get worked up in the same way I did for weeks before when we had a chance of auto's.

Don't worry mate, our first XI are doing the same too. We've simply not turned up, and it's heartbreaking.

 

[Icy Gull]

Given how the fates seem to be conspiring against our players, we are doing bloody brilliantly.

Not sure how anyone can suggest that we haven't turned up.

 

[RandyWanger]

Was a bit shit that first half.
