Not much of a matchday thread and not much of a match really, Wednesday turned up to spoil the party and did just that. We huffed and puffed but didn't really get anywhere, we had a few chances and one gilt-edged one but it looked like it would take us all night to find the net. Neves had a really poor game by his standards, plenty of misplaced passes and getting muscled off the ball, Afobe really didn't get into the game at all except for rolling the ball across the face of goal after rounding the keeper in the first half, and while Jota tried his best he just couldn't unlock their defence. Costa had some good touches but never looked like he was going to influence the game, Doherty was extremely quiet and offered very little and if it wasn't for Douglas' set piece delivery he'd have offered exactly the same. The defence always looked assured and were rarely troubled although Batth's distribution was woeful.
Barry Bannan ran the midfield for Wednesday and seemed to pop up everywhere except for where we could be hurt. It was a bit of an anti-climax to be honest rather than the spectacle we were all expecting (I think a lot of attention was focused on us lifting the trophy after the game) but Bright could have had the place rocking with 15 to go when he was put clean through only to drag his shot well wide with what turned out to be the game's best chance.
Great day out (good to finally meet Trips) and seeing us lift the trophy was special, Cass was nearly in tears she was so happy.
