It felt quite emotional before the game with people greeting each other and meeting up with friends they wont have seen for some time, I enjoyed the day more than the performance but the 3 points was very welcome. I just say it as i see it, I saw us really struggle playing out of the back, they pressured us and we looked very uncomfortable throughout the 1st period doing it, a better side would have forced more mistakes.We had 3 shots at goal the 1st half, all wayward and didnt trouble the keeper, first shot on target was after almost an hour,Wing forcing the keepers first meaningfull participation, where as BPF had to make 2 first half stops and we got off lightly with a curling shot that went very close. We cant use the new players getting to know one another excuse, as donny are in complete dissary compared to us and couldnt even fill their own bench, disrupted pre season with covid, a player up front who only signed the day before (Gilbrath), 3 youth players among the subs and they really stretched Wednesday throughout the game, they had players going down with cramp and others playing on fumes. 2nd half they didnt pass it about at the back quite as much and got some impetus going forward, but the tempo did drop, just prior to and after the goals, bogle forcing another good save after the pen near the end. Room for improvement would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have watched a different Doncaster to the one I saw …apart from a ten minute spell they could hardly string two passes together..ill disciplined..shooting wide from good positions..the penalty miss & follow up summed up their day ..Yes Wednesday have room for improvement but let’s find our best 11 when everyone’s fit & available & not overlook the fact 4 points from 2 games is a decent start ..

I expect much more from us pre season against a poor Doncaster team, but for us it was a mid tempo friendly. I don't expect Doncaster to be anywhere near the top come may based on what I saw that day. Imo, there’s only one derby as far as Sheffield teams are concerned. A Football Heaven presenter once said Wednesday v Hull is a derby and someone questioned it. Yes it is - it’s a Yorkshire derby. I sent him a text asking if Newcastle v Plymouth is an English derby. He said it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can pick up points while not at our best it’s a good basis to build on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stats will have to improve by quite some distance as we come up against what will be far stiffer opponents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
