  1. If ever there was an opportunity to step up …and take the opportunity..now is the time However Fusire,McNeil and Ugbo just aren’t doing this Had high hopes for all 3 …However they will come in useful next Season in League One.
  2. Reading the Chris Waddle article in which he mentions Palmer,Walker,Hirst …and the fact that teams we could compete with …Arsenal,Man City can now buy individual players worth more than the club..show show badly we have been mis-managed over the years . Brighton,Bournemouth,Brentford..with less footballing history and far less fan base have prospered .Having supported Wednesday for over 40 years..this is definitely our lowest time. This season is lost but once HE has gone…things can only get better Keep the Faith
  3. Make no mistake when it was 11 v 11 we were the better side. Only when Bolton brought on their “ big guns “ did we look under pressure. When Bolton equalised we responded by scoring !! Difficult to tell our Senior players from the young lads… Ugbo scored and Charles is sooo good. Great noisy fans Great night to be a Wednesday supporter WAWAW
  4. Whilst still feeling good about the performance yesterday by both the players and the fans..the one deciding reason for the fact we are 8/11 to finish bottom…Oxford are next at 10/1.. We just haven’t any goalscorers.Cademateri has potential but will find it very tough.Lowe just isn’t a natural playing in the central role..and Ugbo has obviously had such a good pre- season that he was brought on in the 96 th minute. Even bringing in new free signings it will be virtually impossible to get proven goalscorers. We need a top,top forward who loves the club and is willing to take a drop in wages Vardy time ….
  5. Irrespective of what the future brings..Owls Trust should organise a method for contributing to the Baz statue… 4 weeks ago Milan looked like a Wednesday hero…coming out of retirement to fly over…talk some common sense into Chansiri. Speak to the interested parties who wanted to buy Wednesday However as the situation has deteriorated he has been silent We need someone with influence over Chansiri now more that at any time Time to become involved …over to you Milan
  6. Bookies have closed book on new Wednesday manager…they see it as guaranteed! Bannan will be ass coach (in some capacity) which enables him to earn more than the basic £7,000. Players apparently like Pedersen however he hasn’t the best career stats … Loves Sheffield so let’s welcome him and hope he/they can pull off another miracle
  7. Apparently has lost approximately £90,000 in wages being out of contract.At any other club he would have a statue or stand in his name…I have supported Wednesday for 50 years ..if he is forced to go would be lowest of so many low points. I remember being stunned when they forced Wilkinson to take Leeds managers job…he was in tears when they refused him money for players and told him they were happy for him to talk to Leeds. Only at Wednesday….the joys of being loyal

  9. Bandy Bannan signs new contract…then put up for sale for the transfer money. Ridiculous but still a possibility
  10. When the Gassama signing was delayed I genuinely believed we had a Buyer lined up ensuring our top players did not leave. With the subsequent daily departure chaos and signing youth players it’s obvious Chansri is funding his debts and intends to keep the club.Perhaps the millionaire/billionaire buyer have realised how complex the take over would be and have pulled out. Dreadful times ahead
  11. He was confident that Danny would have been snapped up by another team by now... earning £2 -£5 million.This would have been used to pay wages/keep the EFL of his case and give him more time to hold out for better offers or unbelievably stay..We/ he are really in a mess!!
  12. Apologies didn't see earlier post
  13. Just released by Fulham. Always felt he was not given a real chance at Wednesday after stepping in at a very difficult time.Obviosly very well respected in top levels and lots of contacts.Def worth a shout
  14. Vardi...he doesn't need the wages... great end to his career
  15. Today easily best midfielder/player for Wednesday BUT yet again substituted. Great, bring on Bazza but making Ingelsson the scapegoat was a bad managerial decision ... sorry to all who think Danny walks on water..Also what is happening with Chalobhar ..is he injured (again) or fallen out of favour???
  16. Came on as sub on Wednesday.. first touch miscontrolled, yellow card for kicking ball away,dived for a penalty. Yesterday came on as sub, first touch miscontrolled,dived for a penalty .Can see a positive trend here.Waiting for match 7 when he starts,controls and gets a penalty .In Dammy we trust
  17. Our defending at the corner was appalling..as their commentator said "He just strolled into the six yard box, totally unmarked" In the fracas at the end ..Ingelsson after a gentle push in the face wanders off whilst Ihiekwe is the only one who stands up to the WB player. Disappointing on both counts
  18. With the arrival of Cissoko it looks like Musaba has fallen down the pecking order.Unlike Gassama he doesn't appear to have developed his game this season..he still chases the ball whilst in defence and chooses many wrong options when in possession.Hopefully the coaches can improve him as there is raw talent there.
  19. Firstly complimented Away fans for great/noisy support During match said that Lowe was playing like a man with no confidence At penalties expressed suprise that Lowe was taking a penalty. Why cannot Danny and our other 4 coaches see the blindingly obvious.As long as we persist with Ugbo/Lowe our season is over
  20. Manager 2 Good...Created positivity/enthusiasm around Hillsborough.Ability to make quick, successful substitutions. 2 Bad...Too defensive.Preference for Valery over Valentin Players 2 Good ..Bannan, Charles 2 Bad ...Ugbo, Valery 2 Good...Beadle, Smith 2 Bad...J.Lowe , McNeill Thoughts???
  21. Manager 2 Good...Created positivity/enthusiasm around Hillsborough.Ability to make quick, successful substitutions. 2 Bad...Too defensive.Preferance for Valery over Valentin Players 2 Good
  22. Apparently we have a new set piece coach.Save money and borrow the Arsenal set piece coach for a day or keep watching the Arsenal set piece video
  23. Where are the necessary goals going to come from? Jamil Lowe was very disappointing again last night (against a very weak Blackpool). Smith and Patterson will score goals in League 1 but not in the Championship whilst Windass /Musaba are very erratic.We need someone to support Ugbo..who l don't see as a 20 plus goal scorer.
  24. One shot.....10 mins to go 2-0 down so 5 back passes to the keeper....... tactics basic ..play ball to feet...then be physically out muscled and lose ball .Long season ahead
  25. Made same point after the Sunderland game
