Notebook LLM transcription:

Problem is none of those three have the heart to put the effort in that Cadamarteri will. There were times in the first half before his goal that the lack of fight and desire in Lowe up front was shocking. I'd much rather see Cadamarteri in the central spot but Pedersen knows he can trust Bailey to fight for everything on the right side and there's really nobody else to play there right now.

Not sure Brown had time to do a fascist salute to the crowd as he was scoring...

I'm just gutted Disha isn't ready!

What is the primary focus for the team in the upcoming game against Portsmouth? The team's primary focus for the Portsmouth game is to secure their first league win. To achieve this, they need a very solid defensive foundation and a simpler approach to playing on the ball to minimise turnovers, especially in their own half. The manager emphasised the need for "big courage," "big intensity," and "big discipline" in executing their game plan, highlighting a recent training session as a positive indicator of these qualities. What are the key areas the team is working on to improve their performance? The team is focusing on several key areas for improvement. Defensively, they are addressing deep runs behind fullbacks and improving their reaction to "second ball" situations by increasing player movement when the ball is travelling and enhancing acceleration. Offensively, they are working on breaking the opponent's defensive lines more effectively through opposite and deep runs, playing to open body positions, and speeding up the game. They also aim to maintain possession better after winning the ball and increase the number of players in the box. Physically, they are striving to increase overall running distance and acceleration per player over 90 minutes. What kind of challenge does Portsmouth present to the team? Portsmouth presents a significant physical and tactical challenge. They are described as a team that runs the most, has the most sprints, and most accelerations in the league, requiring the opposing team to match this intensity. Key individual threats include Murphy on the left side, known for his crossing ability and deep runs. Portsmouth is also strong in "second ball" situations and aggressive in winning the ball back (re-pressing). The manager stressed the need to match their intensity for the full 95 minutes, handle long balls and second balls effectively, defend against deep runs and crosses, and be adept at playing out when winning the ball against their aggressive re-press. What is the latest injury update for the squad? The latest injury update reveals two new issues. Olaf is out until after the next international break due to a problem with his right groin. Ree sustained an injury requiring stitches in his foot after a tackle and is expected to be out for one to three weeks. Harry is fine after a fatigue-related substitution last weekend, with scans showing no issues, and has resumed normal training. There are hopes Ree might return before the next international break, and possibly Jalaba, but other long-term injured players like Disha are not expected back soon. How is the team addressing the ongoing transfer embargo and its impact? The team views the new EFL embargo ruling out free agent signings as an official confirmation of an existing situation rather than new news, as they haven't been able to sign players for some time. The manager expressed a desire for new players but stated he has not spent energy on this issue since the initial ruling. Instead, he is fully focused on working with the current squad, helping them grow and improve daily, praising their dedication and positive attitude despite the challenging circumstances. How does the manager perceive the team's current energy levels and overall fitness? The manager is positive about the team's energy levels and intensity, noting that a recent Tuesday training session was the most intensive of the season. Sprint meters from the last game were very high, placing the team in the top 5-6 in the league. However, he believes they need to increase overall running distance (metres per player per minute) and acceleration per player over 90 minutes to take the "next step" both defensively and offensively. He mentioned plans for specific acceleration/deceleration training and strength/intensity work to build a higher basic fitness level, allowing them to sprint effectively while covering more ground. How is the manager fostering a positive mindset and high-performance culture amidst difficult circumstances? The manager is fostering a positive mindset by focusing on courage over fear, both personally and within the team. He encourages objectivity, preventing the team from making the situation seem better or worse than it is, and constantly searching for small positive progressions. Individual conversations are crucial to address players' potential fears or uncertainties, aiming to keep them "with an open heart" and present-focused rather than dwelling on past mistakes or future anxieties. He also mentioned considering bringing in external support, such as psychologists or speakers, to further aid mental well-being. He highlighted the importance of a high-performance culture, not just off the pitch but also through senior players acting as "good mirrors" on the pitch, providing tough but supportive communication to help younger players improve and "make the next good action." What are the plans for new coaching staff appointments? The club is close to making official announcements regarding new staff, hoping it will happen within the next 5 to 10 days. The immediate priorities are to appoint a goalkeeper coach, who will take responsibility for the goalkeepers, and another assistant coach. Specifically, they are looking for an assistant coach who can help with the defensive aspects of the game. The manager did not confirm specific names like Daryl Fleh Haven but stated they are close to doing "more things on this side."

Classic Aero!

Yes that's the one! I feel like I was probably mean to him at some point in the past, sorry @aeroswfc are you still out there?

Am I remembering wrong or years back whenever a player was mentioned there was a poster that would reply with their name, legend, and their appearances and goals? No matter how crap or obscure the player...

How long is Pierce Charles expected to be out due to injury? Pierce Charles is expected to be out until the next international break, which means he will miss several weeks of play.

The loan market is described as very difficult, but the club is working hard to find a suitable profile to help in the near future. What has the team been focusing on in training to improve their performance? The team has been working on several key areas to improve their performance. Defensively, they are focusing on reducing the distance between the front three players to be less open, and on the back five's positioning—specifically how they push up and slide to maintain a compact defensive net. Offensively, they are working on playing with more courage on the ball and increasing the intensity of their movement when they gain possession, ensuring they don't just "rest" after defensive efforts. The training sessions have included tactical elements with high intensity, demonstrating the players' passion and discipline. How is the club managing the development of its young players? The club is seeing strong development from its young players, with several effectively stepping up to the first team. Players like "Ernie" and "Gap" have shown significant improvement, particularly in their physical and mental readiness for Championship-level play. Ernie, for example, is highlighted for his strong mental fortitude and ability to transition between phases of the game. While proud of the talent coming through the academy—especially with two players recently moving to Manchester City—the club's long-term goal is to retain its best young players to integrate them into Sheffield Wednesday's first team. What is the latest update on Deshawn Bernard's rehabilitation? Deshawn Bernard's rehabilitation is progressing very well. He underwent a test recently, and the results will help determine the next steps in his development. While an exact return date is not provided, the club is looking towards October or November for his potential return. The manager also noted Bernard's growth as a person, taking on responsibility within the group and supporting younger players, indicating he will return to the pitch as a "really, really strong" player. What is the manager's assessment of the upcoming opponent, Wrexham? The manager has high respect for Wrexham, describing them as a very strong and well-structured team with a clear job description for each player. He acknowledges that they have brought in many new players with significant quality, including those with Championship experience. Despite Wrexham being a newly promoted team, the manager believes many of their players are already strong Championship-level players, making the upcoming match a "big, big challenge" that the team is eagerly looking forward to as a measure of their own standing. What is the club's current situation regarding signing new players and financial stability? The club currently has some free agents training with them, but they are unable to sign new players at the moment due to ongoing restrictions. Efforts are being made by the club to change this situation. Regarding financial stability and player salaries, the chairman has assured the manager that he is doing everything possible to resolve any issues and ensure salaries can be paid on time, alongside the ability to bring in new players. Are there any updates on the coaching staff? The current coaching staff, including Andy Holdsworth, Charles Ko, and Ben Ledger, have been praised for their great work and dedication in supporting the team. They are described as growing every day, similar to the young players. The club is in the process of integrating new coaches into the team and hopes to present them in the coming days, indicating that additions to the coaching staff are imminent.

Boooooo! Environment killers!

I don't do regrets, the concept is illogical to me.

Not faulting anyone of them, neither am I giving a single shit about them once they leave. I read Sheffield Wednesday Matchday to read about Sheffield Wednesday, not wade through the plethora of threads about ex-players.

Funnily enough I don't stalk my exes and obsess about what they're doing with their lives..
