miamiwhite Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Recent performances have been more impressive than the earlier games in the season and the team is showing gradual signs of gelling as a unit. First half against Watford we were dominant,away at Birmingham,the common census even off the Blues' fans is that we were the better side. Today we dominated the game and should have had more,than what Cyril Smith had on his plate every day. The signs are encouraging to see and today will surely give us the confidence to go on and pick up 3 points consistently. I reiterate my comment from months ago,that there is genuinely nothing to fear in this division and once we finally knit as a unit,we will take this league by storm. Early days yet,but Coyle swooping for Spearing and Warnock indicates to me and obviously many others,that he knows what is missing. One player is sometimes all that's needed for a side to kick into gear. Loyalty has no part to play in this business and I sincerely hope he relegates Alonso to the subs bench next week and puts Warnock at left back. I think in the next few weeks,we will see a settled team,that will gradually get better and better,reaching the top of the league by Christmas and not being knocked off its' perch this season esp when our better players decide to get their arses off the treatment table. I hope Coyle will make his thousands of critics eat humble pie.................if not,get walking you duckhead Quote
Atomic White. Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 i hope so but only time will tell. Quote
paulhanley Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 We'll know if this was the turning point in about six games time. Coyle's tendency to set up teams that are vulnerable right down the middle of the park (a tendency that has been on display now since the FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley) doesn't fill me with confidence. I hope I'm wrong. Quote
barryk32 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Nope another false dawn. Anewman could get these players into a similar league position. itkfactmarkmywoeds. Quote
superkev Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I personally hope we will click into gear now. Although Sheffield Wednesday won't be the best team we will play the signs look good. We threatened every time we went forward and limited them to very little. Onwards and upwards. You can see Coyles passion for the club but will it continue. Quote
captainmed Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Fair play to OC at the end of the game. He came over to us. Only 3 players did. They believe in OC and not us. Let's just see what the next month brings. OC - fair play to you. Quote
MACCA Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Good post Miami. Really hope this is the turning point. At the start of the week 6 points out of 9 would have been a good return. Also the noises coming from the players suggest Coyle is respected. Would a new guy get the same respect or would it put us back another couple of years??? Keep this form up an these questions need not be asked. Quote
Rembrandt Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 It was a valuable 3 points today and I hope it's the turning point but I have serious doubts. Among them ......... # We had several potential 'turning points' last season and threw them away. # I was excited by our attacking potential against Barca B, but it won't produce results until the team defending is tightened up; still no clean sheet today. # There will be a lot of harder games to come. # Birmingham, who beat us last Tuesday, lost 0-5 at home to Barnsley today. WTF ! P.S. Coyle deserves " thousands of critics" for what he's done & not done over the last 18 months. I think we all hope he proves us critics wrong - it would mean our club is recovering, Quote
desperado Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Fair play to OC at the end of the game. He came over to us. Only 3 players did. They believe in OC and not us. Let's just see what the next month brings. OC - fair play to you. With you on this. It can be a turning point. But It means nothing today unless it's followed up with results and performances in next 4 games Quote
Traf Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 10 pts has to be the minimum requirement from the next 4 games. Quote
miamiwhite Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 Spearing is definitely well up for the challenge and quietly but very effectively stamping his authority on games,allowing other players to get on with the better side of their game. get warnock doing the same at left back and we'll be a very solid outfit,even more so when mr holden and mr wheater strenghten us when the season begins to takes its toll. it's took time but it's now taking shape and will soon be like a snowball Quote

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 # I was excited by our attacking potential against Barca B, but it won't produce results until the team defending is tightened up; still no clean sheet today. To be fair, that was an INCREDIBLY generous penalty. Almost as generous as the one at Birmingham. I thought we defended pretty well today. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Fair play to OC at the end of the game. He came over to us. Only 3 players did. They believe in OC and not us. Let's just see what the next month brings. OC - fair play to you. Who can blame them? The 'how shit must you be' and the song about Alonso being biz don't constitute support no matter how many folk sing them. Quote
scoobydoo Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 4 behind Blackburn , 2 good loan signings , Holden & wheater to return .... Fingers crossed this could be the kick start. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Quality performance yesterday, hopefully pick up 6 points from the next 2 home games and get the confidence back. Let's hope it's onwards and upwards now Quote
Juan.Kerr Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Good win yesterday and as said above, a very generous penalty. So nearly a clean sheet. I hope this is the turning point. I'll be more than happy to down my share of humble pie if it is. Roll on next week where there might be a bit of atmosphere at the 'Bok. Quote
HomerJay Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Who can blame them? The 'how shit must you be' and the song about Alonso being biz don't constitute support no matter how many folk sing them. What's this alonso song? Quote
MickyD Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 What's this alonso song? The goal didn't make up for you being shit. The goal didn't make up for you being shit. Repeat until fade Quote
no balls Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 The goal didn't make up for you being shit. The goal didn't make up for you being shit. Repeat until fade Nice. Nobs! Quote

Garrp Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 We have a higher quota of nob head fans than most unfortunately. Were up there with west ham Quote
MickyD Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 He did leave massive gaps at the back though. It's just a bloody good job Sheff Wed didn't have players to exploit it. Quote
ex_midlandwhite Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 He did leave massive gaps at the back though. It's just a bloody good job Sheff Wed didn't have players to exploit it. He was up against their main attacking threat and best player. Ricketts would have looked no better. I'd like to see the lad get judged after a good number of games. At Brum he was picking passes that few in our team could and that low cross yesterday superb. All the while defending reasonably against their only threat. Quote
