Barry Bannon.

Didn’t get a kick in the first half.

he's played a lot better than that against us in the past.
he had a couple of moments early in the second half, and was finding more space deeper than the first, but I wouldn't call it the Barry bannan show.

Exactly!
Football is all about the 'here & now'. Barry Bannan in his day would have stood out, but he didn't really stand out against us on Saturday, none of the Wednesday players did, which was the point I was making.
Sheffield Wednesday were mediocre.

But he does always play well against us, annoyingly. :frown:

if you read some of the posts on here after the game you'd have thought they wiped the floor with us, but instead they had a good 15 minute spell during which they scored from a set piece.
I haven't read the wednesday message boards, but I doubt they're painting it as the managerial masterclass that it's being treated on here.
they had 2 shots on target

And we still couldn't get the three points. If what you're saying is correct, then isn't it more of a reflection on us rather than them. This isn't the time or place to worry about our performances.

Since Riza was appointed, it's very noticeable on here how, if, during a game the other team has a spell, it's because Riza hasn't reacted or he's been out thought by the opposing manager as a sign of inexperience on Riza's part. I haven't seen this on here so much in years and years.

Is it 5 wins in 25 or 26?
That May have something to do with it, 1 point from 9 from our last 3 home games has hardly helped
Whatever way you slice it or dice it, he has had a very very limited experience as a first team manager, 7 games, lost 5 at Orient, who went on to be relegated
No Championship managerial experience
Of course fans are going to point this out, probably because most think it’s a contributing factor to our current position

Probably stems from his early tactical mishap at Bristol

Enter stage right Riza's biggest critic who chooses his stats to demonstrate his stance

What a strange response
Are those stats correct?
What other stats can you use to judge if someone is successful in their position?
You can substitute opinion as fact or you can believe your argument is stronger and not accept someone else’s view, that’s what discussion is all about, but you can’t argue with stats that are facts
What other stat should I use 2 away wins all season?
I’m not sure if you’ve stopped attending games but there are plenty that have, and selling ST for next season is going to be a tougher task imho
For the record I’d like to see the ground full, or almost full for home games, I’d like to see us playing attractive football with more local players involved, and I wouldn’t mind watching a team that battles for every ball and for each other and never gives up
The whole thing needs a reset in my view, and it starts at the top and begins with the right set up for coaching and recruitment
Now if someone doesn’t agree with me on a football message board that’s up to them and if you think he’s doing a great job, happy days
Last time I checked we were just hovering above the relegation zone,
