Proper Pulis side......

Long throws and time-wasting

[robertociNCFC 98]

Very tepid first half, looking very laboured on the ball at the moment.

[Capt. Pants 4,226]

Just shoot Sorensen!

Scrappy  half.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,445]

WTF - when do refs blow the whistle mid attack like that nowadays?

 

I thought that finished with Clive Thomas in '78

[cambridgeshire canary 6,707]

Swear half of Sheffields attacks and threats have come from us just giving the ball away

[shefcanary 2,394]

Down to 4th at half time.  Could do with sneaking a hard fought 1-0 here.

[Flying Dutchman 744]

I'm a huge Emi fan, but good grief his arm waving, hand slapping the turf and general theatrics are just getting silly now.

[ricardo 7,384]

Pretty but fairly toothless.

Ref's Australian!  It's an upside down world.

He had an absolute fit as the half time whistle blew; no idea why.

Sheffield Wednesday's approach here is identical to that of Derby and Birmingham when they came. Patience is a must.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,445]

More pleasure so far today with the HT score from Home Park - Agent Lambert continues his fine work

[GenerationA47 751]

We can do this.
If we avoid giving away a silly counter attack or free kick we can anyway

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Gotta move that ball quicker lads. Possession is great but you’ve got to take a chance

It's no wonder oppositions can often identify him as a hot-head and target him for a wind up.

Really can be his own worst enemy in that respect.

Good to see you Drazen it on up again!. (Especially when you are spreading good cheer , like this)

Trying to walk it in again.

Exactly. No pace apart from Placetha. Trying to tip tap thro loads of defenders. No surprises. If we do not up our game Pulis will do us.

He is always like that..... frustrating

He's got a yellow card coming if he's not careful.

 

If not worse

[sonyc 5,511]

An underwhelming first half.

We are the better team but are hardly giving the SW keeper much to worry about. Same for last two matches. 

Pulis teams maintain their shape so it needs balls to be moved much more quickly. Or balls in behind. And we have stopped doing the latter. Likewise scoring from corners!

Many here don't see it but that is how he gets sent off imo.

If we continue playing Stepi in defence corners will be no issue 😉

He might get one at half time. At the end he kicked the ball away and looked like it hit the lino.

His best action in that half was off his own line. Saved a certain goal.

Up front, less convincing.

True and sadly Placenta (joke! No offence intended) is still far from ‘up to speed’ with his decision-making. Hope the coaches can work some magic soon as he’ll be super when that happens

it's honestly amusing how when you see him off the pitch and in interviews he looks and comes across like this short, shy nervous reserved kind of guy

 

But then you put him on a pitch and he turns into a boxer

[shefcanary 2,394]

The Wendies GK is an old school mate of my grown up daughter.  Hoping he makes a mistake so she can wind him up later.

Guess we have missed Onel haven't we?

Can you find out if he learned to moonwalk just for timewasting at goalkicks

And what really sucks about Onels absense is that he's exactly the kind of player you would want to see brought on in these types of games
