I’ve got mine and for some reason they’ve sent me two identical cards? Bring on Saturday! WAWAW

Here’s a new one, let’s try and be positive about the football. With all the other crap flying around at Hillsborough at the minute, it’s all we’ve got. We’ve only played one game, ONE GAME! Jos slowly turned last season around using a mix of young’uns, fringe players and fit first XI players. His hands are tied again with the fact he can’t bring players in, but he’ll make do and build with what he has. He’s not moaning about it, he’s just getting on with the job at hand. We’ll have some crap results and we’ll have some good results, that’s the nature of football. We still have very influential players not on the pitch in Hooper and Lee (Abdi ) and players still on the road to recovery in Fletch and Winnall. Give him and the players he chooses to put on the pitch, your full support. Give them the confidence that we believe in them. All the other stuff is irrelevant for now, it’s the football that matters. Support your team!!!

What exactly has Jos done wrong? He came into club with a horrendous injury list and made the most of what he had at his disposal. We ended the season fairly strongly and he certainly got the best out of some players. He’s now hampered by a transfer embargo and I’m pretty sure he’ll make the best of what he has at his disposal. It’s one result in a long season, let’s not get carried away by all the other stuff going off at the club and concentrate on the football. Get behind the manager and players and let’s show them we believe in them. From positivity grows confidence, from confidence grows good form. Let’s give the lads a great atmosphere next Saturday and then hopefully, they’ll respond with confidence and a good result.

I thought we’d landed a great signing in Abdi and I’m gutted for the lad. I wanted to see him on the pitch where he belongs, this just has’nt happened. Unfortunately it has to go down as a terrible acquisition and total waste of fees/wages, to have only played 12 games in two full seasons. If it was just one season then maybe things would be different, but it isn’t. Time is not on his side and we need to cut our losses. He’s taking up valuable finances that we could use to strengthen in other areas. I don’t hate the guy, I just love my club and he’s been a bit of a blight since joining.

Where’s Abdi?

Ahhh crap, I thought Dundee had just answered our prayers at first glance!

£4mill well spent.... 12 appearances in 2 years, 12!?! His days at Wednesday are surly numbered and if not, they should be. I also feel we are entitled to know what the situation is, we fork out our hard earned cash (tickets,shirts,etc) to help fund transfers. I’m not saying we need the ins and outs, but “he’s injured again” is getting a bit repetitive. Is it long term, short term, career ending?? Don’t get me wrong, I feel for the lad... I’m sure he’d rather be on the pitch, but enough is enough. Time to go Abdi!

Seriously? Can we please just drop the George Hirst crap, he’s gone.... Time to move on

100% agree and always have done... No one player is bigger than the club.

Unfortunately this is football these day, clubs are too often held to ransom by players and agents. The kid showed some promise (like a certain other young’un with contract issues), but he obviously thinks he can get more elsewhere, so good luck to him. We have plenty of young talent coming from our U23 squad, so who cares about Clare? He doesn’t want to play for Wednesday and I could’nt care less. See ya Clare

Who cares about Clare? He was given the option to sign new contract, he didn’t sign, goodbye. END OF THREAD and move on!

True, but we don’t know what went off between young Hirsty and the club representatives. I doubt they’d freeze him out just for 5hits and giggles! C’est la vie!

At the end of the day, both players have been offered new contracts. The club obviously believe they have offered the right price, so it’s up to Hirsty and Clare and their representatives. If they don’t want to stay, then what else can the club do? Personally I’d love them both to stay, realistically I can’t see either staying. They no doubt think they’ve EARNED the right to demand high wages, having played a handful of first team games between them!?!

Totally agree with the OP, they are a terrible pairing... They were both OKish tonight but as mentioned, lack any creativity or attacking presence. I would also say the same for Boyd and Palmer, totally gash as wingbacks with no decent crosses or attacking presence. Rhodes was nonexisten, Dave tries his best and don’t even get me started on Loovens! Only positives were Joáo, Reach and Lees. With regard to Jos I’m not overly confident he’s the right man for the job., even if he had a full squad to pick from. Roll on Bolton, whoop de f00kin woo!
