FA Cup upset for Sheffield Wednesday
The Owls lost to Oldham last night.
Dave Challinor says he's disappointed by how Sheffield Wednesday conceded both goals last night against Oldham in the FA Cup.
A feisty game, which saw Oldham's boss sent off to the stands.
Unfortunately for the Owls, extra time went Oldham's way, with a header from Will Sutton.
Owls boss Dave Challinor said:
"The first half was like a testimonial; it was miles too slow.
"It was nothing like a team that I want it to look like, which I can maybe sort of accept a little bit. The second half was much better.
"We were probably having our best spell when we conceded. We responded really, really well. The subs came on and changed the dynamic of the game.
"It would have been great to be able to start in that manner or with that personnel, but we were unable to do so. I suppose there's always been a problem in terms of conceding goals.
"We've conceded two really, really soft goals, and that has to stop. I think as the game goes into extra time, there is more of a tendency not to be as aggressive in terms of moving the ball or putting the ball into areas, maybe because of the physical part of what that looks like.
"That needs to get a whole lot better."
"You look at the second half, and it looked a whole lot better, a whole lot more like what I want a Sheffield Wednesday team to look like," added the Owls boss.
"There are bits in the final third that we can work on in terms of areas, with some great bits of play where we get down the side, but there's that last bit.
"We've got to look at where we've got bodies. But we've got to be able to do that for 90 minutes or 120 minutes. At the moment, by the looks of what today looked like, we can't do that.
"Now, there are, I suppose, extenuating circumstances with some players. We're short on numbers. But there's no excuse for that."
