Sheffield Wednesday team 1974/75

Is she a centre back?
-
It goes beyond which league we are in. I get a real sense from reading this forum and social media that if we stay up, the next manager is on a hiding to nothing. That kind of atmosphere makes me wonder if its worth renewing. We clearly have little to spend to improve, so i'm not sure what DC could do to turn around fanbase

Putting your thumb up???

If you're coming from North then as mentioned, Halifax Road (cars were vandalised on the road off Railway Pub so best parking further up e.g. residential roads). Or any of the streets near the training ground (you can then leave north towards Stocksbridge Bypass/M1)

No such thing as an injury Armageddon?

There's nothing going on. -
Carlos "I am very happy to go back to my HOME"
Manila_Owl replied to @owlstalk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
And who gave Giles Coke a round of applause. The animosity on here for CC is hilarious. It's like some surreal conspiracy theory, you either believe CC is part of the problem and is laughing his socks off. Or that he did what 90% of managers do and that is run out of ideas and part company. -
Another Winnall/Butterfield
Manila_Owl replied to OasisOwl72's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I agree. Dragging up an old thread in this case is a bit moronic. Hooper pretty much started every single game until Xmas. Partnered by Fletcher for a big chunk then Rhodes in others. Rhodes offers the same as Winnall off the bench and Joao offers pace off bench. Fact is Butterfield has been turd, but we weren't to know that. A poor midfield and injuries places more pressure on back line and ultimately cost Carlos his job. I can't fault the deal, we took another card and bust. It happens. The fact he has got some game time and scored a few will help when we sell at end of season. We will make a decent profit. -
Add 2005 PO Final to that. State of that penalty and red card. VAR would have kept us down. For every loser there's a winner. I'm not a fan myself unless at the very least replays are shown live at stadium and the referee has to explain decision to crowd who don't know what the fluff is going on.

Adrian Chiles is proof not anyone can do it. Don't mind Lineker myself. Or most of the pundits on BBC. Would rather watch Lineker & Shearer than "I'm Colin Murray" and Clinton Morrison bumble through some footage.

What do you think was Carlos' biggest mistake?
Manila_Owl replied to Galaxypuppet's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
This for me. I can't fault his first two seasons. We were only a penalty shootout away from another playoff final. We can all sit here and say that Huddersfield tactics were negative, but we could have gone all out and got smashed 3-0 and then it would have been game over. The rigidity of his tactics led to his downfall. Lots of teams in the top divisions have moved to a back three with wing backs and he has stuck to his guns. It just didn't work. One minor point that sticks in my mind is when he was offended this season at being questioned regarding attacking from the off, said something like 'you want me to play with three strikers all the time?!' - yeah we would -

Here's what Jos is inheriting
Manila_Owl replied to owlandished's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Not enough clean sheets costing us. Gone from setting all sorts of clean sheet record two seasons running, to 5 so far. So many games this season we are chasing due to some to turd defensive performances. -
8/10 Flounce. Would have scored higher with a sustained attack on CEO and the promise of throwing ST in bin. Good effort

Full blown Illuminati

Neither. Fox is awful. Get the feeling he doesn’t want to be here. Pudil may end up at CB. I would play Reach left back.
-
No I don’t, we would probably get smashed. but I would rather be looking forward to an exciting cup tie. Nothing else to look forward to. And if a professional footballer (even those who played yesterday) can’t get exited to play a city or a Chelsea then god help us.
