I agree. Still quite a tough watch, listening to the scrubbers singing songs praising Chansiri, but I'm already over it. There's no huge credit to them beating our ramshackle bunch. There's a far bigger picture to what's going on at Wednesday, results on the pitch are of little consequence this season - even against the porcine mob.

I rarely stick it to individual players but his all round game is just woeful at the moment and has been for a long time. Cadamarteri replacing him is the most obvious substitution of the year

Apart from this line: The i Paper has been told that another Middle Eastern consortium who were working with a London-based advisory firm have withdrawn from the process, primarily due to the anticipated competitiveness of the auction, as well as concern about Wednesday’s ongoing running costs. .. that article just regurgitates info widely already known. Even describes Ashley as an 'expected bidder' - so just guesswork like everyone else.

If online sources are correct... Players whose deals expire in 2026 Cooper M Lowe Amass Chalobah Ingelsson Bannan Brown Horvath Iorfa Weaver Palmer Johnson Shipston J Lowe Thornton Players whose deals expire in 2027 Charles Valery Bernard Fusire McNeill Otegbayo Players whose deals expire in 2028 Cadamarteri Kobacki Ugbo

Last time Pederson talked about the injured players it didn't sound like any of them would be back by now. Also seems a lot to throw a player even of Cooper's experience into the intensity of a derby game with literally no practice. I would expect Horvath Palmer Iorfa Lowe Fusire Valery Bannan Ingelsson Amass Lowe Cadamarteri Cooper on the bench possibly

Think Kobacki and Chalobah have both had setbacks during their recovery but I think both - along with Charles, Bernard and Brown - may all be back before Christmas if I remember correctly. Weaver might not play again this season

He was still working as a physio just before Covid hit... I went for an appointment on Ecclesall Road South to get my dodgy achilles looked at and it turned out the "Rodger" who was treating me was Rodger Wylde. I'm too young to remember him playing but I absolutely knew who he was, and yes I guess he must've been about 65/66 but he was in tremendous nick and a lovely guy to talk to. To this day he's the only ex-Wednesday player to have rubbed my leg AND given me his number

Horvath: 7 Palmer: 7 Iorfa: 6 M. Lowe: 7 Fusire: 7 Amass: 8 Valery: 8 Bannan: 8 MoM Ingelsson: 7 J. Lowe: 6 Ugbo: 5 Cadamarteri: 7 McNeill: 6 Duckworth (ref): 5

Cadamarteri brothers up front together next season in League One would be exciting and not beyond the realms of possibility

Tired to sign Wright, Fairclough and McCarthy... and ended up with Greg Fee. Owlstalk would've been in meltdown that summer As for McCall, I associate him totally with the 90/91 promotion season, what great days they were

Horvath: 6 Palmer: 6 Iorfa: 8 mom M. Lowe: 6 Fusire: 6 Amass: 6 Valery: 7 Bannan: 6 Ingelsson: 7 J. Lowe: 6 Ugbo: 5 McNeill: n/a Cadamarteri: 5 Fernandes: n/a Toner (ref): 7

1100 in the last 24 hours. I’d expect another good day today and then sales to maybe tail off a bit. predict we’ll be 1500-2000 short of a sell-out

4100 sold in the last 72 hours

Bravo sir

"Hello Mr Wigfield - my name's Sirichan" [yes... that will do]
