    Do we even miss Hamer?

    It depends on what you mean by miss him. I miss his cheeky smile. I miss the runs, goals and his passion. I miss not having the best midfielder in the Championship. I also miss Gyokeres. How couldn't you. But if you compare having 2 excellent players to having the side we now have I wouldn't...

    Sheffield Wednesday used to have great supporters. Had a drink with them several times over the years. Never had the slightest problem. But these days? I'm actually shocked how downhill they have gone. Before you tell me it isn't all of them I do know that. But as we have just witnessed it...

    Certainly hostile. Too hostile. Most probably why although they are so low down the table but before the game they were on a home run of 5 wins 1 draw no defeats. I don't mind hostile games. It adds an edge to games. But yesterday went well past enjoyable hostility. I hope I never see anything...

    Sheaf was great deserved MOTM. But Palmer? He gave them so many problems he never had less than 2 players on him. This gave space to our other players. Made some great touches like the back heel. Wasn't far behind Sheaf in my eyes.

    Form table last 12 , with PPG of opposition

    Start believing. 18 games left. We have 43 points. Win 2 lose 1 is 2 PPG. We could lose 6 games but still get 79 points. Let's put it another way. We're 2nd in the form table over 12 games. But in this run we've played 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th in the form table. We've won 8, drawn 3 and only...

    Form table last 12 , with PPG of opposition

    Does anyone need a reality check? We all agree Southampton are flying. They're on a great run. But look at that form table. Southampton have just one more point than us. But their opponents PPG is easily the lowest at 1.14 and ours just 0.06 off the highest at 1.42. That is WBA and they've...

    Was much closer than that a couple of weeks ago. Each time we win we will pull further away. If we carry on like this it won't be long before we have a gap between us and 7th place.

    I'm not buying that. I knew what had happened straight away. I'm sure I'm not alone here.

    But goading? This has taken me back many years. Palmer was being targeted because they couldn't handle him. He was giving it back. 'Yer shite' 'going down' was the reply. Nothing serious. I love it when a player gives it back with a smile on their face. But to take us back many years with...

    How many of our new signings hit the ground running this season?

    It isn't down to fitness. Robins stated that he needs to learn his defensive role or words to that effect. That will be mainly done on the training ground. Can't see him playing for several weeks at least.

    Sheffield Wednesday 20th Jan

    Long term season ticket holders are those who have put their money into our club for years. This would include the dark days when our attendances were low including the levels below where we are now. They deserve to get something for their loyalty. Or do you think that someone who goes to...

    Deeney sackd

    We can only guess on what happened. Players taking penalties wouldn't have been chosen on the day. We had our 5 penalty takers. Maybe he volunteered to take the 6th and when the moment came the occasion got to him. It wasn't just an ordinary penalty. It was for the prize of getting to the...

    We had strikers. When Mowbray was our manager we were down and nearly out. Most of our players were shite. We went for the cheapest option in everything. That's how we ended up in League 2 after he left.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Oh yes opinions. Can't think of one of our new signings that wasn't called shite and/or a waste of money. Robins was supposed to have wasted the Gyokeres money. Hardly anyone was prepared to give the new players a chance to settle in and learn their role. Simms has improved. Just like every...

    Not heard of that but wouldn't surprise me with what lots of supporters come out with. Sounds like in the end he had had enough. But as we know with our own club we rarely know the truth. Having the players chosen for him adds up because Mowbray is too experienced to go into the second season...

    4 IIRC. All young players nowhere near ready for the 1st team. That's why they never get named in the squad.

    Championship thread 23/24

    Was speaking to a mate a couple weeks ago. The subject soon got onto football. Mowbray didn't get sacked for not being good enough. We have a manager. They have a coach. Our manager decides who we sign. Those running Sunderland do all the transfer deals. Mowbray started telling them to get a...

    Callum contract offer

    Leicester were 10 and 13 points clear of 2nd and 3rd before the last games. If Ipswich beat them on Monday and Southampton win an easier game the lead will be cut to 4 and 7 points. The halfway point was only 4 games ago. The only side in the top 6 I can see having a bad run is Ipswich. Been...
