More questions, than answers.
Poor first half, good 20 minutes start of the 2nd half, then hit by 2 counter attacks
Joao had a half chance after a couple of mins but was deflected for a corner. From then on Boro controlled the half, Price made 2 good stops before Reach smashed in from 8 yards from a corner.
A switch to 2 up top with Nuhiu on for Wallace, got Wednesday going in the 2nd half, Lopez firing just wide from 20 yards the being denied from a free kick from 25 yards. The good start to the half bore fruit on 64 mins when Matias 's shot was deflected in. The good work was undone 3 mins later when Boro broke away and a ball played down the left found Fabbrini who went in on goal and slotted past Price. Lees when went close with a header before Boro broke again when Stuani found some space down the inside right and slotted clinically past Price into the corner. Boro nearly added a fourth in injury time put Price finger tipped a header on to the post.
Price 7 - Made 3 good saves, had no chance with any of the goals.
Hunt 2 - Beaten too easily too often, poor positional play as-well, seemed to want to play CB
Lees 5 - Not found the form of last season yet
Sasso 5 - Mixed bag
Wiggins 4 - Struggled at times although he was up against Downing
Lopez 5 - Poor first half, played well for 25 minutes 2nd half then got subbed.
Hutch 4 - Injured again
Lee 7 - Probably our best player, good energy
Matias 4 - Yes he got our goal, but he didn't do anything else
Wallace 3 - Never in the game
Joao 5 - Bright first half, faded 2nd half
Semedo 5 - Broke up some attacks, then tried some Sheridan style passes, which didn't work
Nuhiu 5 - Actually won some headers.
Sougou 4 - No real impact
Possession
Owls 49-51 Boro
Shots
Owls 10-13 Boro
On Target
Owls 4-5 Boro
2 weeks off for CC to sort a few things out, formation and tactics definitely need a tweak. I personally like 1 up front, but its just not working at the moment. We switched to 2 up top in the 2nd half and with a lift in the tempo caused Boro problems. With the players he has bought in 352, 3412, 442, 4411, diamond shape are all possibilities.
One rumour heard at the ground today was May off to Toytown for £500,000.
Some good signings this week, Turner, Pudil and Forestieri, I think they all stand a chance of starting our next match after todays performance.
1 gripe from today, after 5 mins we had the ball on the half way line on the right and we passed it backwards to one of our defenders which brought groans from some of the crowd. Yes I want to see attacking football like everyone else but F**k me, 5 mins into a game

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
