Not the greatest of starts...

Lacking the urgency they displayed against Cardiff. It makes you wonder if the international break came at the wrong time or is it simply a case of missing Allen on the pitch dictating the play.

Shades of the Bristol City game at the moment. Having lots of the ball, but lacking purpose and aggression where it matters.

The Owls are playing for their life also, and we have pulled away from the bottom so you can see why they're playing with a higher tempo.

 

[WxmJax]

Are we playing for a 0-0 draw ?

Definitely the latter I think, Fulton is so far away from the play when the defenders have the ball its forcing Paterson to go back to help out

I've mentioned before that Grimes looks a completely different player when Allen is alongside him.

Looks like Key and Ronald not quite clicking yet. A few times Key hasn't played the ball over the top when Ronald wanted it and having to stop to look up to see what he was doing.

If we can raise our game to above half arsed we should win comfortably...

Was just about to post something similar, only difference is we have actually had a shot on target which we didn't against BC. Key is also showing something we were missing in that game.

Definitely has the potential for an exciting partnership. I wonder if the language barrier is an issue for now? The same kind of thing happened with Naughton.

First goal in this game is going to be important.

Yup, two-thirds arsed would probably be enough

Agree it will take time. No amount of minutes on the training pitch will ever give players the experience of playing together in a real match.
