Taylor has had a very poor game at a very inopportune time. Again.
Still time to be an unlikely hero here though. My friends nephew just got subbed on, come on lad .....

Was hoping for a Taylor vs Connell final. Hopefully Barnsley can do the job tomorrow and have at least one Irish player in the final. Fair play to Sheffield Wednesday and don't think OwlsFan will be at work in the morning.
Only Peterborough United could spunk a 4.0 lead, retake the lead, spunk that, and then hit some of the worst penalties you'll see. Entertainment factor 50 in a smorgasboard of what not to do in football. Well done Wednesday though.
Depends on what side of the fence you're looking at for entertainment. In the first game, the Posh relied on a goalkeeping error, a deflection and an offside goal for three of their four goals, You probably thought that was entertainment. I didn't especially when Owls missed an open goal in the first 10 minutes, didn't get a penalty for a clear handball and had 2 cleared off the line. They decided to adopt a different tactic in the home game and that was Jack's put them under pressure which Peterborough couldn't handle. At one stage Wednesday had 18 shots to 1 in the second half. There are many ways to skin a cat and Wednesday changed from their passing game to get the ball in the opponent's box at every opportunity. I think it was deserved especially since they finished 19 points ahead of 'Boro at season's end. I am obviously disappointed for the Posh from an Irish point of view (owners and players) but you know sometimes in life (not that often) you get what you deserve and the son of Alex Ferguson wondering where the extra time came from I find ironic. It was the stuff you dream about as a kid (like John O'Shea's equaliser in German or Robbie's late goal also against Germany) but seldom do they come true. It's usually heartache. I didn't expect them to come back when it was 4-5 nor win when it went to penos. It's the beauty of football. It can be one kick in the teeth after another but then there was that last night and all the rest is forgotten until they lose the play off final.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Retired for a few years now JR so didn't have worries about work which is just as well as I couldn't sleep.Originally Posted by JR89

Peterborough can have zero complaints about the added time, they had sihthoused from minute one on the time wasting front and karma had a hard on for that kind of carry on last night. Ref was fine too, the club forum has him basically in a Wednesday shirt which simply isn't so. Most worrying from the Irish perspective is the ongoing Jekyll and Hyde chicanery of Jack Taylor. One version of him does not belong in L1 in a good way, the other version does not belong in L1 in a quite different way. Baffling drop off again from him from one game to the very next.
Taylor has won POTS on the fans forum. Most would be STs & the vote is weekly, collated at the end.
The vote covered the 48 league and play off games and what is most interesting is in 26 of the 48, he got no votes at all. In the remaining 22 he got enough points to win it including 9 MOTM awards. I really hope he sorts the consistency out, he's a real baller sometimes. Likely to move in this window, Ipswich linked heavily in the last two windows.
Scores for Ipswich (v Bristol Rovers) in the EFL Cup this evening.
Got a league start tonight, his first at Ipswich after a recent cup start. Was replaced on 57 after being booked on 52.
I feel Crafty has a big emotional investment in this lad

Taylor is to Crafty as Scales/Horgan is to Stutts
Don't forget Owen Garvan!Taylor is to Crafty as Scales/Horgan is to Stutts
Hahaha ... nice typo (?) too, emnotional indeed. To be fair, I have hammered him on here at times too, but one of the rising stars of UK management spent three windows trying to get him to Ipswich because his good days are very very good. Tough team to get in now though, clearly.
Scores a screamer to take the lead against Wolves tonight.
Wonderful strike from Ipswich's Jack Taylor. From 2-0 down to 3-2 up!
Taylor collects the ball and he's almost 30 yards out and he hits a beautiful effort, it's too quick for Daniel Bentley and dips in just under the crossbar.
What a game! Premier League Wolves in danger of being on the end of an upset.
1:50 into this. Lovely strike.

Well struck, and something we don't see enough of from our current midfielders. I'm a little surprised the keeper didn't get a hand to it as it seems quite central, but maybe there's more curl on it than that angle shows.
You can't spell failure without FAI
The power on it would have taken the keeper by surprise too in fairness. Just a fantastic strike, and kinda similar to Obafemis against Scotland
Its really not that complicated!!!
On as a late (78 mins) sub for Conor Chaplin, away to Bristol City.
