makes a change to get a late goal, sounds like we deserved it on second half performance
We were a bit better second half, but we didn't really deserve a point. On we march.

Better second-half but no real zip. We looked like we could terrify teams on the break for the first few games, little evidence of that today. Still a point keeps us up there.
He's been a passenger in the last three. Needs a spell on the bench to remind him he's not the finished article yet.
Otherwise thought we were much improved in the second half. Biggest problem was our final ball. Think Tomlin would have helped with that had he come on earlier.
Not impressed with Feeney though. One cross against Fulham aside, he just runs down blind alleys and the majority of his crosses are very poor.
Not sure putting our only proper striker on the bench is the best way to go.
Agreed though, complete contrast to before the transfer window.
The stats say we had twice as many shots (16 to 8) and 8 shots on target compared to their 2.
So stick that up your jacksies.
maybe that is just it. Now the window is closed no need to play.
He looked knackered after about 60 minutes. I thought Warnock should have brought Ward and Tomlin on earlier.
Nathan Blake made a good pint about how Bannan was running the show for them, and how our midfield were caught in 2 mind between closing down and standing off. He suggested Zohore should have dropped onto Bannan, thus restricting his distribution, and our midfield 3 to pick up runners. Seems to make sense to me, Gunnars was useless first half, so lethargic, just marking space, and not really doing anything. He's a much better player when he presses the opposition.
I thought as a team, when we had the ball were so static, no one moves when we have possession, more pass and freeze than pass and move. Bryson was the only one moving and making runs.
Also Zohore was very isolated, I thought he put a decent shift in, however with no support (due to our midfield being over run, and our wingers having to track back to help out the full backs) it was a tough ask. Maybe Tomlin is the answer, get him on the ball, someone who can pass and make themselves available in an advanced position. Allowing Ralls and Gunners to sit deep. The question is do we need 2 sitting deep at home ?
As for Warnock, well considering he has said our bench is so strong, I'm amazed it took till the 82nd minute to bring on Ward and Tomlin, we were crying out for a change of tactics and personnel by then.
Agree about the movement. We've lost that early season high energy. It could partly be confidence. But Neil needs to rotate more. Today felt like a bit of a hangover from Preston and the manager should take some of the blame. Ralls, Gunnar and the front three can't be expected to play every game of the season and deliver optimum levels.
Don't agree with Blake the Bannan was running the show. Wednesday were rubbish really. Ultra conservative. They do have quality in their team with you could see in flashes. We're at our best when we counter so maybe Neil doesn't want the high press all the time?
2nd half we created lots of chances. They didn't create so many but for the first half looked in total control.
They passed it all over the place when a Ben Turner style diagonal ball might have been an option sometimes.
Second half we could have scored three in opening 5 mins and overall, even though the sucker punch was quite likely, we took the game to them and they thought they could see it out but not today.
Bannan was MOM - he ran the show for the Owls.
Their goal was conceded due to Bamba having to go wide to cover the useless Peltier who was being dragged all over the place due to man marking Reach.Due to Bamba being dragged out we were light in the box and Hooper had virtually a free header.
Why on earth Peltier had been detailed to man mark Reach was beyond me and it caused us all sorts of problems. We had no answer in combating Bannan and we were mystified as to why they decided to take him off.Did that cost them our equaliser?
Shocking defending from Wednesday for our equaliser.
