Discussing Sheffield Wednesday’s Leeds United draw

The Star, Sheffield

Transcript

00:00 Joe Crown and Alex Miller here from the Sheffield Star to reflect quickly on

00:04 Wednesday's 0-0 draw here at Leeds United. Feels like a tidy result but

00:10 certainly at the end of the season it might feel like a very good one.

00:13 Yeah, I think you know when you look up a hard-earned point in the dictionary I think that's what you get.

00:16 It was just really, we've complained about sort of the lack of

00:22 solidity and that kind of thing recently with Wednesday and they were solid

00:27 today, sort of all the way through as well. They limited a very dangerous

00:31 Leeds side so not that many chances and then even when they did get through

00:36 Devis Vazquez was there to stop them scoring. I think that you know to a man

00:40 they were just very very solid today. Yeah, concentration, we've spoken a lot

00:43 about those late goals and sloppiness and I don't think there were too many

00:47 hairy moments. For a side of Leeds undoubted attacking quality I've

00:53 put in the match report the amount of money that's been spent on

00:56 that attack together and Wednesday kept them at bay and to be honest could have

00:59 won it towards the end. Yeah, they had a couple of decent chances. I think Josh

01:03 Windlass and Callum Paterson were probably the best of them. I think you look at someone like

01:08 Willian Onto and obviously a lot's been said about him over the

01:12 summer. He's a very very exciting young player. Callum Paterson had a tough time with him

01:17 but he stuck at the challenge, he kept going and changed it when Dominic Offa

01:20 came on. He dealt with him pretty well and I think yeah, I think Wednesday's

01:24 players can feel very pleased with their outing today because

01:29 no one goes out to only get a point but I think if you'd asked them if they'd take a

01:33 point today I think you know what answer you're getting. Off the bottom of the table as

01:37 well. Yeah, things maybe just sort of turning a little bit for Sheffield

01:43 Wednesday who you know it's worth saying particularly at Cardiff a little bit

01:47 unlucky not to have got a point previously. So into an important couple of weeks

01:51 then. New players have come in, Geoff Hendrick and Joe Buckley on deadline day.

01:59 What do you think they'll be working on in this couple of weeks apart from

02:02 everything? Winning. No, look I think with John Buckley and Geoff Hendrick

02:09 they are, it's an interesting one, we're talking to Barry about it now, like they

02:12 they are in Barry's role, that's the role they play. So as much as Wednesday do

02:17 have quite a lot of central midfielders it's probably Barry and

02:21 George Byers that are the most affected by those two coming in on the face of it

02:25 anyway. It was interesting Barry was talking about sort of having a team bonding

02:29 thing over the international break. It's been a while but Wednesday won't have a

02:33 few players there because they'll be gone. We've obviously got Devis Vaskers out for

02:36 Columbia. I completely forgot that was a thing. Yeah, the international breaks aren't just for

02:42 everybody to have a rest so they'll lose a few of them but

02:46 yeah I think it's, with this international break it was just

02:49 important for them to get something to them today wasn't it? We've sort of mentioned it

02:53 before, if people had been left to stew on that zero points for the next

02:57 two weeks it could have got really really really tetchy. We'll leave it there I think.

03:01 Sheffield Wednesday are off and underway, very dogged as we said, levels of

03:07 concentration very much on point and as I said they might have just nicked it

03:11 towards the end. Until next time!
