Are they still available? I had DMed you, thanks

Hirst gave Terry Butcher a difficult evening.

He's a disaster, useless. Makes bad decision after bad decision. Refuses to appoint good people. Doesn't learn from mistakes, compounds them. Breaks the rules. Eight years not just wasted but where we have massively regressed relative to competition. This is our club and it is soul-destroying to see what he is doing. This club will always be ours; he is merely a custodian, unfortunately the worst we could have. To answer the OP's question, there is nothing he can do to win me around. I just pray he will be gone sooner rather than later.

Didn't realise that - yet another thing we got bang on right last night.

Last night he got it absolutely right. In every aspect. Team selection and formation - James, Paterson, Palmer in the middle, Gregory, Smith and Windass all playing - bang on. Tactics - perfect, Peterborough had no answer.

Great analysis. They started time wasting from minute one so got what they deserved. Not that they were actually very good at it. No yellow cards - they could have pushed it a bit more! They had zero ambition, just wanted to get through the game. Karma.

Make it hostile, get at em, get one of them sent off. That's my team talk.

Our defeat at Plymouth still rankles. Credit to them, they brought on fresh legs in the last 20 minutes and upped their energy levels. Moore took off our two best players with the score at 1-1 iirc.

That is what I thought. Bizarre. Nice in a way that they care though. Good luck to them. And let's get out of this division now.

Let's be clear, It wasn't the draw at Ipswich that caused it - much as it pained to have been 2-0 up. We'd all have taken a draw there before the game. Nor was it the loss at Barnsley which was a bit of a freak game because at 2-2 we were the only side who looked like winning. We were still in good shape after dropping points to Bolton and Barnsley. What caused it was the five results against Forest Green, Cheltenham, Lincoln, Oxford and Burton. 3 points out of a possible 15. All matches we should have been able to win. End of.

Never realised the hate for us that Brighton have. https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/sheffield-wednesday.400224

Common sense as usual Markowski. The question is whether we can rest and reset. Too many players underperforming. Leadership required.

A full Hillsborough is a wonderful thing. It was great for the Plymouth game. For those occasions (too rare unfortunately) I wouldn't want to relocate. I dream it could be full every other week. And when I read terrible journalism like Ladyman's, my strong instinct, like many on here, is to react against it, defending my club and the stadium because I love them both. But, objectively, our stadium is old-fashioned, views are blocked by pillars, the concourses aren't big enough, the toilet and catering facilities are poor, some of the seats are cramped, the north-west corner is redundant, blocks of seats can't be sold for safety reasons. I last sat in the West Stand for the 2012 Wycombe game and it affords a great view of three wonderful stands, but the infrastructure and facilities are awful. That stand should have been removed in the years immediately following the disaster. Its continued existence means we will constantly have to endure the sort of publicity we got when Newcastle came to town. Yes, it's unjust criticism in many ways, it feels like we're being picked on unfairly, but as long as the West Stand is there, it will continue to happen. People will say, how can we afford to replace it? Wouldn't we rather spend what money we have on the team? The plan seems to be that we can redevelop the ground, in particular the West Stand, when we get back in the Premier League. But when will that be? It's 23 years and counting. We could conceivably be outside the Premier League for another 20 years and this thing will still be around our neck, never going away. Of course the disaster and the innocent lives that were lost must never be forgotten, but unfortunately our club, by not understanding and acknowledging the massive symbolism of the still-standing Leppings Lane stand, tunnel and all, and by not having dealt with it, has made us an easy target, and it's holding us back. I don't know how, or how to afford it, but it's time for the club to make some sort of statement of intent, rather than continuing to pretend there isn't an issue.

Slept on it and still mad this morning. By taking off Bannan and Windass it screamed "we're not up for winning this, over to you". And they were ready to take advantage, they wanted to win. Moore outmanaged again, it's happened so often in the bigger games.

You don’t rest them in a game vs top of the table with 15 mins to go. Ridiculous thinking
