I would normally agree with you, but there were just a few too many "senior" players hiding today, I can accept being outgunned, but there was very little fight and not much to cheer until stoppage time really. A defeat was to be expected in hindsight, the manner of it though, was deflating.

Post of the year! winner right here.

They all left Thats as good as it gets for us for now.

Amass and Bannan have been our standouts this season, but other than that we are woefully short on quality, no power up front, very little pace outwide and a make shift defence and midfield pairing. I do think next season Amass will be on loan at an upper champ or lower end prem team. It is the poorest Wednesday side I have seen since 2003, the youngsters are all good prospects but as I have said elsewhere most needed a L1 or L2 loan before being thrown into the championship. Losing so many players has really set us back. But your lot were good value for the win, and annoyingly I can see this being the catalyst for a run for you now, especially if you can bring in some more firepower in the near future. Hope you had a safe trip home!.

They were faster to most of the second balls, about half our team did not look up for the fight or a Derby game and were playing to avoid injuries. Very poor one sided match, when you get out fought and out thought by Wilderbeast it is worrying. I know Ugbo is prime problem child number one but I was disappointed in a few of the senior players today. The occasion got to a few of them, but the timid way we surrendered the ball every time was the most worrying part.

That was one of the most one side Derbies I have ever seen. I am more angry at the lack of fight from some of our players than I am the result. But the difference in squads showed too, as I said in another thread at times we look like a school team with 2 or 3 teachers filling in the numbers, it will get better, and our expectations were low so it doesn't sting as much as normal. Still, the surrender was sad.

Windass had plenty of chances to leave before and stuck around, was one of our stand out players for the last 3 seasons and tbh deserves the chance of a crack at stepping up a level and the Netflix money. Hope he gets a good reception, Top player for us over an extended period, and scored one of the most important goals in the last 10 years.

I think it is just a combination of the usual pre-derby jitters and and their own growing sense of being poo this year. They know we are in a bad patch, but the majority of them do not know just how bad and think we are still the team that turned up last year with actual danger men in multiple positions and pace and power. Once they realise we are basically the equivalent of a school team with 3 teachers filling in where we are short they will calm down. That is no disrespect to the lads playing, they are doing a stellar job, but most of our team was still a year or two and a good loan spell away from being ready for a championship campaign.

Nah but by the time everyone has got up from Kent and Devon they are too tired to cause trouble on the tram.

Buses are easier to police, trams have multiple carriages, much more potential hiding spots for trouble. Buses are much easier to "split" if they want to divide home and away support or police if there is a potential spot of trouble spotted. It is also much easier to spot problems on a bus, divert a bus, or stop a bus than it is a tram. I am pretty sure that is SYP logic.

HP, along with Bannan and Palmer really stepped up and gave the club leadership when it needed it. Like most I hope he is given a chance with the new owners.

Honestly not a clue mate, I'm basing it off previous statements and roumers but the council seemed previously supportive of us moving. I am not ITK just giving my thoughts

If this is true, this is good due diligence, knowing that our ground is old, and in bad shape and prone to flooding it makes sense to look at a better location with better transport links. But knowing if its possible before going into things is just smart business, because if the council are not supportive then it would make developing the club a lot harder, luckily the council seem highly supportive of a move.

There will be plenty of complaints. If we get a Saudi PIF style owner, I will be one of the ones unhappy. If we get an American owner there will be people complaining we are just a product and franchise. If we got some one like an Ashley there would be people complaining he isnt ambitious enough I doubt there is any ownership model that will please everyone, and that is fine. We do not always need to agree, aslong as the disagreement is done respectfully it is perfectly fine to hold different opinions to each other on clearly subjective matters.

Gonna have to get those Saturday night jokes in while we can people.
