Sheffield Wednesday Post Match Thoughts

[Ronners]

Wow, what a game, i thought a draw would have been a fair result on the balance of play but who cares as we've been on the wrong end of results against these in recent years.
The winning goal by freddie, after the cutting pass to him from tree, was made for him by Lewis Wing's lungbusting run to overlap and give him an option.
Their defender looked as though he was going to go challenge freddie until he saw wing overlapping so dropped off to cover the runner thus allowing freddie to turn inside and......well the rest is history.
I cant explain the knot that was in my stomach when they got that corner with 30 secs, of the 6 mins added, left and thinking "These f*****s will score from this". Earlier in the season when that corner came in, Crooksy would have maybe just hammered it upfield to get it clear, but we've been much better than that in recent months and to counter like we did was nothing short of sensational.
I know their fans are in meltdown, but I thought they played well, as did we, and on that showing they could bounce back.
I thought the sending off was really harsh, and even allowing for that i did think, unlike some on this board, that the referee had a decent game and allowed it to flow, but that's just me.
Onward to Brentford and let's hope they are firing blanks UTM.

The Piggy fans are crucifying Izzy for his poor corner, which I thought was a decent pass.

They also love Wing who they thought was the best player on the pitch...cant disagree

Strange how the biased Sky pundits chose not to focus on what actually happened.All they wanted to do was wrongly accuse Smith of letting the team down.That 's what Smith never does,he is a team player.The ref let us down by his bad refereering.In the first half Wiles was nearly crippled when someone went through with a vicious tackle.That should have been the only red card and once again the Sky clowns just ignored that.

Izzy Brown said to be on £26,000 a week, a lot of Tuna got to be sold for the Wednesday's payroll, every month

Football Heaven will be a riot tonight, I might listen for the first time in years

As frustrating as it is, I don't think it will be overturned. The slightest reaction is still a reaction. They may come to the decision that Broner was the instigator but because the ref missed that one doesn't mean they will forgive the reaction.

Lets put it this way scum. I have seen countless games where a player has used his head in a players chest as a sort of token headbutt. Not one time have I seen them being sent off for it. This twa t couldn't wait to flash his red card. I have not seen one come out quicker even when someone has been properly lamped. Not only that I would have said it was harsh if a pig had been sent off for the same offence.

If we are gonna send Smith off for a handbags at dawn offence there are not gonna be many players left on a pitch on a saturday afternoon.

It stinks.

The correct punishment would have been a booking for both players at worst. Arguably a talking to would have sufficed as well.

But the ref was in Sky, centre stage, the Mike Dean syndrome

[rolymiller]

Well hopefully he will watch it back and realise what a prat he looked on TV Grist.

I hope that Smith gets the ban rescinded, but like most on here do not think he will. Seems to me that the Millers and Wycombe seem to get terrible decisions against them more than others. Can't think for the life of me why that would be

Despite having 5 outfield players on the subs bench and playing with 10 men for a quarter of the game the Millers were excellent in their formation and grit when down to 10. Moore put 2 strikers who have previously gone for about 17million on to win the game. 500k Freddie, who last week looked like a pub player with his air swing at the ball scored a £5million player goal that that may help get the £7 million in the Championship next season. We can only hope.

Just a thought but two "sliding doors" moments contributed to the win. What if Victor, who will be a Millers legend if he carries on like this, had not been down injured for two minutes? 6 minutes would have been 4. And what if Captain Crooks had just lumped the ball upfield instead of playing the pass of the night to Freddy. Would the ref have blown? All ifs and buts I know, but it does demonstrate the bravery and sheer will to win of the Millers. Oh and thanks Izzy. Once a Miller always a Miller
