I see the other night Chris Wilder was disciplined again for kicking a ball into the crowd and hitting a young supporter. Apparently, it's not the first time the sh*t has hit the fan.

I noticed that too, two things spring to mind: What confidence to have at 16 years old What confidence his teammates and the management must have in his ability.

One positive I see from the EFL refusing to let us sign loan players even without paying a loan fee or wages is that it stops Chansiri accepting offers from Blackburn/pigs/WHU etc. to make cut-price deals with an immediate loan back for Charles/Cadamarteri/Lowe/Valery. That would mean he doesn't get his hands on funds to see him through the next few months and prolong the agony.

Clayton should really have scored there, two bites of the cherry.

Lovely free kick from Bayliss for 2-1

Soft penalty given away by Da Costa. No 10, Beyliss? looks decent.

I suspect a fair few of those 4k will be tickets bought for TPPs and not for attendance. There could well be more leeds fans than Owls at S6 tonight. However, referring to people as scabs is not going to help getting everyone on board.

For anyone brave enough to watch our 'U18s/U16s' take on Bristol U21s here's a link

Sincere condolences mate. I don't know you at all, other than a username on a football forum, but I feel your pain. Your post serves as a great reminder for the rest of us to get things in perspective and take time out to appreciate what we have. At the end of the day football is really only a distraction from more important things in life. Stay strong!

If they're still in the dressing room, I expect to see derogatory bids coming in for them from Rangers and/or West Ham any time soon.

They can't all get promotion, the one's that don't will have to take stock of their finances, or risk getting into financial crisis over the next few years... We know how that can end.

Not just Whales, Scotland and Ireland too I believe.

We registered Bannan last week, so clearly it's been lifted.

According to Sofascore, in his 59 minutes on the pitch he: touched the ball 9 times made 4 passes (2 successful) won 3 of 4 ground duels made one aerial duel (won) lost possession twice made one foul was fouled once made one clearance made two tackles

My Pendikspor supporting mate says he's going to ask for a season ticket refund now.

Wasn't CP our set-piece coach? From what we witnessed the last season or two, he wasn't very good at it. Lovely bloke, and I'd still like to see him back, but I'm not sure why.

Star report here

Isn't he still under contract? Once DC has gone, there should be every reason to think DR would be back behind the desk ASAP.

He's been doing his coaching badges for some time now, not sure what level he's achieved though.

Zimbabwe were winning 1-0 when Fusire was taken off. Finished 1-1.

I'm sure DC himself funded one transfer window whilst he was negotiating to buy us. On this occasion though, I suspect the pitch renewal was scheduled in, as Desso has a 10-year lifetime or something. He probably agreed to DR's requests to upgrade S6 and the training ground at some point in the last year or so, perhaps during negotiations for DR's current contract..

The Training pitches are to be re-laid with XtraGrass, which is the same as PSV use in their stadium. I've heard together the cost of all the work being dome on the Ground and the improvements to Middlewood Road (not just the pitches) could cost something approaching £10mil.

Who is that wearing the training kit on the left of the back row?

Add the EFL panel to the list.

One massive positive this season has been the Academy. There are quite a few players coming through with tremendous potential... The future is looking good. Awaits the inevitable comments about them leaving for free etc. etc. Some people just can't see chips without wanting to ******** on em.
