  1. Yeah, could be that. Just isn't particularly clear on the website. Thought it said £30 on Friday for adults. Then added booking fee and postage at the end. But today it says £31.
  2. I bought 4 Charlton tickets on Friday cost £30 adult £17 Under 18. Bought another adult ticket today cost £31 on the website. On the email confirmation it says £30 Adult, Booking fee £1 Total £32. Anyone know if this is allowed, a price increase mid sale ? Maybe another sign of how desperate he is for money
  3. What May needs is the kind of balls inbetween the defenders to run onto. Exactly like Watford did time after time today. This where his strength is. Look at his goals in Scotland. All from situations like this. We don't do this therefore we're not playing to his strengths. Therefore he won't score goals. Our midfielders don't have the ability to play such a ball anyway !
  4. They won't reveal the price until after the 8th June. It's the way it works. It encourages people to purchase early. Get money in the clubs pocket early. Those who don't run a risk of going into the unknown. It's always been like this.
  5. Look at the teams who are successful at the top of this division. All established championship sides with experienced championship players. We haven't got the money to go out and spend big like Cardiff, Blackburn, Notts Forest to some extent Huddersfield. One thing we have got over all these is a dam good manager for at this level. I would have Dave Jones over any other manager in this division. What we need is patience. If this season means 4th bottom so be it. We will be more experienced for it. A prime example is Middlesborough. They've been flapping about for a season and a half with Tony Mowbray. Now look at them. That could very easily be us in a season or two. Has sacking Jewell at Ipswich brought immediate change. Clearly not. Lets be patient and the rewards will come.
  6. And this weeks scapegoat is ……
  7. Unless we relocate to below the M25 then Redknapp will never be Wednesday manager.
  8. We can't keep sacking managers every time we hit a bad run. Jones should be given time to build his team for this league, time for his chosen players to gel together. We have taken a massive step from league one to the championship. Jones knows this league, what it's about and what it takes to be a success in it. Now if he says these players are good enough to do that then I'm with him. And who else would we get, who else would we want ? Redknapp, never gonna happen. Who else ? Nobody. I've not seen one of the Jones out brigade come up with a reasonable replacement. We've got one of the best managers out there for this level. It's gonna be a rough ride. But back him and I'm confident we'll reap the rewards.
  9. Didn't Irvine win his first 5 games in charge ?
  10. The long throws stopped in the bury game after half time. I suspect this was due to us getting no success what so ever from any long throw in the first half. It was poor. Everyone they won and cleared. It's just giving possession away in the final 3rd. Putting us on the back foot as all our defenders are then stuck in there box. I think they've been told to take them short and retain possession.
  11. I'm finding it really difficult not to be angry with Milan. But you only have to watch sky sports tonight to realise if it wasn't for him we'd be in the poo poo like all the clubs on there tonight. Portsmouth, Port Vale, Rangers, Dunfermline. We'd be lucky to have got anybody near the quality of Megon and Dave Jones then
  12. Lincolnowl. I'd have Megson back in a heartbeat. I've never been as gutted to see a manager sacked. Its nothing to do with happy clapping. The stark reality is if we gain promotion the swing towards this been the right decision will gain momentum. If we then hit the ground running in the championship. It will be ", oh yeh I think I remember him" Football fans are fickle. Me, you, the next man. We all want one thing. Success. How many pigs have come crawling back in shame now. The way some people are going off. That will be them. I'm still angry and hurting. But I'm also realistic.
  13. I'm as disappointed, upset, angry as all other Wednesday fans. What do we want a protest, Jones out, Megson back, Milan out etc etc. Please let's conduct ourselves with more class than that scum across the city. Do we want to look as stupid as they do, after there shameful Wilson Out protests, 6 months on if we are successful. Megson has gone. Dave Jones is here. Let's get behind him and the team and finish the job Megson started.
  14. Playing JJ would have been suicide today. His lack of defensive ability and discipline may well have cost us. We've setup with Sedgwick and Prutton to be solid against a good passing MK Dons side. JJ will return against Yeovil when we can be attacking and take the game to em. Look a point away at the MK Dons isnt bad by any means
  15. MK Dons are a good passing side. Having Sedgwick and Prutton in there kept us solid. Playing JJ and allowing him to go racing forward would be suicide. MK Dons would just pick us off. I can see why Megson picked this team and formation today. I expect JJ to be back in against Yeovil
  16. Lets not forget not many had heard of Ben Marshall before he arrived
  17. Anyone know if these are officially available this season or are they just been reduced throughout the season after a certain block of games ? Have tried ringing the ticket office but have been on hold over 10mins !
  18. Spot on. Why do we need to change anything. I think sometimes that's the problem. When we play so well at home why change anything away from home. Keep it the same and let them worry about us
  19. When we played Swindon at hillsborough Prutton owned the middle of the park. Didn't give the ball away. Looked calm and composed on the ball. Very happy with this signing along with Jones.
  20. Week after week we get the same idiots posting Megson out, Megson clueless etc etc , Some even commenting on Mandaric now. This rumblein mess is all down to the players not the management, the players !. These players do not want to play for this football club, they don't give a throw if we go down. There gone in the summer and they know it. We can change the manager but it isn't going to make a difference. People will just be calling for his head after 6-10 games. We can't keep changing manager after manager. No other manager is going to come anywhere near this job. Megson will turn this club around with his players. We have a good manager who is passionate about this club. We need to somehow see this season out and get to the summer and rid the club of the virus that is the so called players. Only then will we get the fresh start this club needs.
  21. When are people going to look at the wider picture. It's all too easy to blame the manager. This season has been a complete disaster. Even under Irvine it was throw. We were on the slippery slope before Megson took over. What's happening now is Megson is taking the poo poo for something that the foundations were laid for long before he came. The players aren't good enough and big enough to stand up for the fight thus season. No manager that is within our reach would turn this round. We need to see this season out and get rid of the players that aren't good enough or don't want to be here. I believe this will happen. Let's get players in who want to play here, want to fight for this club. Let Megson put his stamp on this team. Then he can be judged fairly.
  22. He was poo poo against Plymouth. I was lookingvforward to seeing what all the hype was about. Terrible first touch, couldn't pass. Was lucky to last till half time. Bottled the occasion big style. More so than the rest of the team. Far from ready fir first team action.
  23. I can't believe people are slagging Megson off. roger me, he's inherited irvine's throw squad which is low on confidence. He's trying different players in different formations to try find a formula to get us to the end of the season. He'll have the opportunity to clearout in the summer and put his own stamp on the team next season. Let's not lower ourselves to the level of those rumblewits over the otherside of the city and have 4-5 managers a year. We'll see this season out in league one. Then Megson can be judged next season. I'm confident he'll turn it round next season.
  24. Megson has taken over a sunken ship not a sinking one. He knows now the players are poo poo scared to play for this football club. It's gone too far now, it can't be turned around with these players. Listening to Megson he knows a clearout of 99% of the squad is required and I'm sure it'll happen. I believe in Megson and I'm 110% confident he will get this right next season with a new squad.
  25. Think about what ? If he's had a decent loan spell you try and sign him up. You don't think "well he's been amazing but he could turn poo poo so we'll not bother"
