Sheffield Wednesday Reflection
at 22:10 15 Sep 2024

Struggling to see how some rate Colback as MOTM. His attitude was questionable at times, he rarely hit a forward pass, and he allowed Bannan to dictate proceedings. Whilst no one particularly covered themselves in glory, midfield was easily the weakest link (only 51% successful pass completion in the final third). Nardi takes it for me with some strong saves, closely followed by Dunne who slotted in seamlessly at CB. Honourable mention to Alfie Lloyd for his goal of the season contender.

Breaking down the Llyod Goal
at 21:52 15 Sep 2024

"The ball is cleared with the top shoulder 1 yard in front of the goal line (no handball and no goal, awesome defending by the Wed player)."

Disagree with this point. The frame you've captured is after contact with the ball is made. If you freeze it one frame earlier you'll see there's a bit of bicep involved.



Other than that, great breakdown.

My immediate reaction in real time was handball and on seeing the replay I haven't changed my mind. The defender puts his arm out and stops the ball going in with a bit of bicep.

Richly undeserved but I don't care. For all its shortcomings, one thing this team does have is character. That's now 5 of our 6 points rescued from losing positions.

The mother of all goal line scrambles. My blood was twisted watching that.

Credit where credit is due. A quality strike by a player that appears to relish this fixture.

In a nutshell, it's 0-0. We're still in it.

"Frey did a poor pass to him and just looked at him instead of fighting for it."

That annoyed me. Yes, the pass wasn't inch perfect but it wasn't a million miles off either and the ball was still there to be won. He just gave up on it.

JCS' ability to thread passes through the lines is a particular miss.

That's 3 let offs this half. I'll be happy to get into HT level because this needs reorganising.

The performance so far has been a bit like the commentary; patchy. Looking decidedly uncomfortable playing it out from the back, vulnerable on the flanks, and the midfield is non-existent. Positive is we're still level. Passing needs to be crisper and the midfield needs to step up. And FFS someone get a hold of Bannan.

Parking at Loftus Road advice for a quick get away after
at 12:31 10 Sep 2024

The A40 is currently undergoing major roadworks between Hangar Lane and North Acton so I would avoid it and any suggestions that depend on it. IMHO your best bets are either:
(a) Parking on one of the side roads off either the Goldhawk Road or Askew Road. Much of this area is permit parking Monday to Friday. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the ground and you can get away down the Goldhawk Road/Bath Road and navigate the side roads through Chiswick, Acton, Ealing and Scotch Common to get to Greenford.
(b) Parking near Greenford or Perivale station. The surrounding streets are permit parking Monday to Friday so you can jump on the Central Line to White City.

Stansfield was Birmingham City's 17th signing of the summer and the third time the club smashed the League 1 transfer fee record in this window alone.

Not at all.

Obscene money for an average striker. Stansfield is Birmingham's 16th summer signing. His fee of £12m plus add-ons is the third time Birmingham have smashed the League 1 transfer record in this window alone.

They'll be in serious financial doo-doo if they don't get promoted.

Frey

Immense. Aside from his physical attributes, the man also has a great temperament. When opposition players try to niggle him, he doesn't bite and just gets on with the job. For the first goal he simply refused to go down in the box and fashioned a chance despite the close attention of two defenders. The second was a masterclass in positioning, concentration and technique. Well done, Michi. Also, honourable mention to Nardi for keeping QPR in the game when Luton were leading and Adebayo was through 1-on-1.
