00:00It went wrong in exactly the sort of places that we expected it to go wrong for Wednesday.
00:04It's been the same all the way through the season, great between the boxers, not so great
00:09in the boxers and I think ultimately it was one of those games where I think United and
00:15United's players were better in the bigger moments than what Wednesday's were.
00:18You look at Michael Smith's header, great save from Michael Cooper, there was another
00:24great save from Michael Cooper in the second half from Marvin Johnson standing us and couldn't
00:29convert the rebound.
00:30So then you've got that's Wednesday not doing their job, United doing their job and then
00:35obviously the other side we've got Rhian Brewster popping it in from a yard out after Wednesday
00:41just didn't defend very well and I think that has been the story of Wednesday's season.
00:46I think most, Danny probably agrees, the first 20 minutes Wednesday would really go for it
00:51and I think there will have been a lot of United fans going, oh this could be a problem
00:56and United got the foot on the ball and took it back from Wednesday and after that it just
01:01felt like it was going to be a bit of a slog for Wednesday and that's just how it played
01:05out in the end.
01:07Danny, as Joe alluded to there, that first 15 minutes, it was actually almost exactly
01:15on the halfway point of the half before it took United to get hold of the game, it's
01:24a fairly frantic start, you must have been a bit concerned the way they came out of the
01:27blocks, I know Chris Wilder said, we'll talk a lot about Chris Wilder in a minute, I know
01:32he said afterwards that it was a game that he expected and he knew that they would come
01:36out of the blocks, were you expecting them to come out quite so intensive as that?
01:43No, I'm going to say it surprised me, I don't mean that to sound patronising because that's
01:49what it potentially does sound like but I was a little bit surprised by the pace that
01:54they started with, at one point I was saying to Joe, can they chuck a ball on for United
01:57because they couldn't, they were just whacking it clear, I mean I said to you last night,
02:01Gus Harm, I think he booted the ball clear last night more than I've ever seen him do
02:04it in a Jeff United shirt.
