People seem a little bitter on here and I don't get why. What Wednesday did wasn't a surprise - they did it against us earlier in the season and got a deserved win. Yesterday we defended a lot better when they (sparingly) tried to transition to counter so it finished 0-0. We played well but ultimately couldn't break them down so that's on us - Wednesday had every right to come and play for a 0-0 and they now go into the second leg as favourites. Fair play to them, just because they're part of the modern shit part of football (trying to buy success) it doesn't mean they automatically have to attack every game.
As for the second leg, it will be cagey again. They won't be too expansive and we'll be more defensive minded. Their fans are much more expectant and much less patient than us - if we can get an early goal or get on top at all early on they'll turn and home advantage will effectively mean nothing. We have to be sensible, defend well and counter at speed, and we're more than capable of that.
Leave Wednesday alone though, nothing wrong with what they did. I wouldn't want to pay what their shit owners charge to watch such dull football, but they're entitled to that if they want and it worked.
