Oh and I think a bigger keeper saves their goal. |  |

Yep, it’s moments like that which are costing us. Great drive and determination to get forward then fails to get his head up and pass. So frustrating |  |

On replay Bonne looked like he could have been in an offside position.
Having said that, I doubt Harper realised that and so still took the selfish decision. |  | | |

Bonne was offside and I'm going to give Harper the benefit of the doubt that he recognized that. He looked off by quite a distance. The bigger mistake is not timing that run when you are looking down the line. |  |

And also highlights his age and relative inexperience . But our midfield going forwards should consist of Morsy and Harper at some point in games , with Harper the attacking MF |  |

If you look up and think "hmm, maybe he's off", it's not that unreasonable to think it better to get a shot off than risk that? |  |

Yes this is what I think happened. It wasn't particularly close, I really think it could have been clear to Harper he was off. | |

Sorry but I disagree. Bonne looked onside to me watching the highlights. Also Harper didn't look across anyway so wouldn't have known.
If Hladky gets slated for the fumble against Wimbledon and Fraser gets slated for his missed penalty then personally I think this is worse. It's very greedy and stupid and cost us a win. We probably didn't deserve a win but it's still bloody annoying. |  | | |

I was right behind their goal - no keeper was saving that. |  |

Would agree with that. Was so frustrating from Harper, he clearly saw his name up in lights and the adulation he’d have got if he scored.
Not sure about their goal, was a very tidy finish. |  |

I agree , if the keeper was 11’4” |  |

I don't blame him for that. He was in full flow. I'd have shot |  | | |

Not a chance that he thought that in that time. He had 2 options and chose the wrong one in the split second. He could have gone for the pass and the defender could have gambled on that and we would be saying shoot |  |

...and even if he gets the ball to Bonne and if he was onside, he still had plenty to do. |  |

He had 3, Chaplin was wide open too. |  |

Yep, he’d already missed 3 great chances | |

Definitely onside.

Looking at that I think Chaplin is probably the better option to be honest, retains the ability to shoot or cutback for Harper/Bonne | | | |

I'm not sure Bonne would have scored anyway thought he was off it yesterday, as I said on another thread that miss in the first few minutes when 1on1 with the keeper was a terrible miss, not sure if that was on his mind for the rest of the game. Maybe Harper was thinking you f**ked that one up Bonne I'll have a go this time. |  | | |

I think Bonne had too much time on the first one.

Maybe Bonne did but no excuse for missing it, it was harder to miss than score you cannot miss chances like that 1on1 with the keeper and nearest defender a couple of feet away. Score then against a SW who were clearly low in confidence and that ends up as a 3-0 / 3-1 Town win.
People will blame Harper for not passing and he should have but if Bonne does his job in the first few minutes it would have been irrelevant | | | |

So, after watching replays from distant angles that show the whole picture, we are split between passing to Bonne, passing to Chaplin and the possibility that Bonne was offside anyway?
And some are criticising Harper for the split-second decision to shoot. Last season we were shot shy and that was a major part of our problem (aside from lack of creating chances too).
From 1-0 down Wednesday had fairly full control of the game and limited us to very few chances. We got lucky with a dreadful goalkeeping error (imagine the abuse if Hladky had done that) - OK it was also good play from Bonne and the supporting players too. Had we snatched a winner (which we could have done), Wednesday would feel robbed. Overall, probably a draw is a fair result. At the start of the season offer a draw v Wednesday and you would have taken it I am sure. It is our failure to win 6 of our other matches that makes it a disappointing outcome. |  |

Not sure why you need to link the two. Bonne should've scored but probably had too much time to think about it (not to mention the keeper did his job well) and Harper should've passed but was selfish. That's it really. Bonne can be forgiven for his clever work/quick thinking/calmness that created our goal. | |

He should have squared it but not going to be too harsh on him. He'd not been on the pitch that long and how many times in his career has he been in that position? Hopefully a learning experience for him and we see a better outcome next time. | | | |

Also, if Bonne scores in the first minutes that changes Wednesday's approach entirely. We have not put to bed an early lead against anyone else so why would we have done yesterday? No one knows how an early goal for us would have changed the outcome. | |

He’s not alone. Watching MOTD last night and there seemed to be a few selfish ones about at the top level yesterday. Greenwood may have cost Man U the game. There were a few more as well. |  |
