  1. I was glad to come out with 0-3. We are absolutely awful at this level currently.
  2. It's disappointing as we should be competing with them, but we can't compete with anyone currently. I wouldn't be surprised if Preston get 3 or 4 next week, especially with a long midweek away game in-between.
  3. Iorfa came in with a bit of fanfare from Bruce. He's a good recovery tackle player, due to his pace. But, he's a 20 game a season guy and has a mistake in him.
  4. Ugbo isn't a player to create for himself. He linked up well with Poveda on loan, but now there's no supply line, he's struggling. Ugbo is in contract until 2028, so we need to get a tune out of him, in league 1. Nobody is taking him on his current wages.
  5. I'm always amazed that people would rather be connected to rusting metal and concrete, than actually trying to progress with better facilities. We'll need a new ground eventually, in one shape or form.
  6. Our last derby win was 2012 and of course Wilder has never lost one. It's crazy that we have fans aged around 20, who only have a vague memory of our last derby win. If they remember at all. We go into this one as heavy underdogs, of course. We've won 1 game all season. 2 at home in the calendar year, 2025. Compare the squad depths and it's almost David v Goliath. But, there just might be a Chris O'Grady. He was hardly prolific going into that 2012 Sheffield derby. There were rumours of a disagreement between Megson and Mandaric, following the defeat at Chesterfield. In short, derby games are different and create unlikely heroes. Let's hope we have one on Sunday.....
  7. He was 32 when he joined, so probably a little late. He played every league game in 1998/99, mind you.
  8. Jonk had some decent games in 1998/99, mostly away. Blackburn and West Ham away, I remember him running the show.
  9. I know he's retired now, but would have been a decent free agent signing.
  10. Have you ever heard "I'm off to Sheffield for a weekend away" Surely not ....
  11. A lot of boundaries have changed in the past 50 years, you are right. I still think of the Peak District as Derbyshire. Yorkshire is big enough as it is.
  12. The peak district was in Derbyshire when I was a kid.
  13. Statue of Whigfield and Gina G outside the south stand?
  14. We could have similar, with the right owners It might just take people accepting that they might lose their cramped view behind a post on the Kop, watching another 2-0 defeat. People don't like change, but just imagine what change could bring this club.....
  15. Even Lincoln has a bigger digital profile than Sheffield. Half the reason the National Centre for popular music never took off. People just don't come to Sheffield for a day out, sadly.
  16. Blitzkreig bop by those famous Wednesdayites, The Ramones.
  17. Maybe if went abroad, we'd get that. Not many championship sides spend that on a defender.
  18. What is the sudden obsession with statues on here?
  19. Reminds me of when Paterson had that great game, up against Mbeumo. I do think Vinny J is the most overrated player in world football, mind you.
  20. Lee Bullen?
  21. I can't see anything other than a comfortable defeat. They desperately need a kick start to their season and we are sitting ducks, if we are being honest.
  22. Some of the names mentioned would have been on high wages. The truly best free signing, would be one on low wages too. So, probably Madden.
  23. Wilder being jealous of a club on minus 4 points, one win all season and in administration, would be a new low for him!!!
  24. League 1 Liam, as he is called by some down Elland Road way. Hopefully he'll do enough to be just that, next season.
  25. I doubt the administrators will have much of a role, beyond the takeover. The new people will have their own ideas.
