I don't post often on Owlstalk but I am a regular reader and enthusiast, and get to as many games as I can - for example, Stoke a few weeks back, taking a days annual leave for the privilege
As a London Owl on my way home tonight, I wanted to give my verdict on tonight's performance:
1) Tactics/team were a joke. We came out of the blocks with no recognisable game plan and, similar to the Charlton game, we were outfought and outperformed by an inferior team. I don't know what Carlos is saying in his team talk but it obviously isn't right. I genuinely think we have a team capable of top 6, but I'm not convinced Carlos is the man to take us there. Wouldn't be surprised (or upset) if he's gone in January
2) The fans. I was sitting in the corner between tango and the "hardcore" behind the goal. It seemed to consist of a selection of southern-accented, Premier League-watching prima donnas, who decided to boo the team off at half time. I have a southern accent myself and have no discrimination whatever the accent, but these fans were fickle, soft (calling for fouls every time Mk Dons went in for a tackle) and were generally not what I have grown up watching Wednesday amongst. I know we have a strong London following but if any of this lot are reading this tonight, I hope they take note and sort it out for the next away day.
3) The referee. Some fans will blame the ref for tonight's defeat. That is ridiculous! He may have got the odd decision wrong, but on the whole MK Dons completely outbattled us and we were not good enough. It's a useful excuse to blame him, and all of the frustration and energy was pent out on him in the final ten mins, but if you actually think about it, the reason we didn't win tonight is because we weren't good enough. We were sh*te.
Great night as always supporting Wednesday, but the lads did not do us proud in any way, and for once, the fans didn't either.
