Very well organised, have to give them credit for that. Can't see them beating Hull though...

Hardly well organised in the first half when we tore them to shreds. How we only scored 1 is anyone's guess.

I thought that they were pretty shite and only looked solid when you'd ran out of ideas.
If you'd had a decent forward on the pitch the game would have been won in the first half an hour.

They defended very well in the second half. First half they were ripped open and were last ditch. If the respective front two were swapped (or if we had bobby and hemed fit) we'd be going to wembley.

I thought their defence was class tonight.
So many teams in our divisions we would have thrashed tonight.
Exactly. Chaotic as we had chance after chance, but the weakness of e.g. Wilson let us down, as well as some luck along the way on ricochets.
The defences of Derby and Boro, to name just two, looked far better than the Wednesday donkeys.
Sorry have to disagree. They were there for the taking tonight. We had our chances and also our final ball especially in the 2nd half was shit. They were all over the place. Lets not forget we were missing Hemed and dare i say Zamora?
On another night with a bit of luck we would have spanked them. They were so bloody ordinary. The only real quality came from Foresteri.

They were terrible in the first half from your set pieces.
Your goal being the highlight of really poor defending. How does that ball get to the back post, bloody shocking.

Imagine eh, that's what we have been missing in the final run in.... Even a fit Bobby would have made the difference in the last few games. Everyone is aware this has been our weak link and the summer will see that new piece in the jigsaw slot into place...
We go again, stronger

Bollocks. It was our inability to put the ball in the net that made them look good. Could've been up by 4 at halftime.

Hull, another team that have failed to beat us this season (yet).
Anyhow, only popped in to wish you luck next season. Make them have it Brighton. You deserved to go up, but you know how the play offs works. Hope you make it next season. Seriously.
Not with that invincibility spell on their goal we wouldn't.

I thought they were crap , we had so many chances in the first half , there goal , which should of been disallowed , changed the game , Derby were a much better team

C'mon the Albion!
First half we dominated and dictated play.
I think we caught them a little unexpected with the early tempo. If one of the chances had gone in the first ten minutes, Wednesday would have panicked, and we would have been 2 or 3 to the good at half-time.
Must have been a good team-talk at half-time, as they gave us less space to play and were in our faces much more, and the tempo changed. I felt that Wednesday would go on to score a second in the second-half on the counter, when we were throwing everything forward.
Very good at time-wasting and breaking-up the play with dodgy looking falling-overs/injuries to bring the momentum to a halt!
I think if they make it to the Prem, they would get torn apart ever week.

Did he? I thought we hit the woodwork, top of the net and he had a couple of routine saves to make, nothing in the class of Stockdale's 'Worldy' in the second half when it came off his wrist.
Absolutely ironic that at the moment when were absolutely on top and the chant of 'You're shitting yourselves' went up they went up the other end and put the ball in the net to completely take the wind out of our sails.
