Paddyowl Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Simon Grayson was disappointed Preston North End did not get a result away to Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls beat Preston 3-1 thanks to goals from Kieran Lee, Daniel Pudil and Lewis Mcgugan. Grayson said that he has never seen Hillsborough the way it was at the weekend, with previous experience visiting the ground during his spell as Leeds United manager. He said: "Up to the 44th minute we were comfortable, I have never known Hillsborough so quiet, our goalkeeper has not had a save to make, then we make a mistake and we made another one after half-time and we have a mountain to climb. "At Championship level you get punished if you make mistakes." The nerves on show at the weekend illustrated the expectation at Sheffield Wednesday this season, with fans hoping the side can make good on their aim to get in the hunt for the play-offs. The win takes the Owls into the top 10 with 15 points, just three behind sixth placed Burnley. The international break appears to be coming at the wrong time for the club, with four consecutive wins in all competitions, including a Capital One Cup victory over Newcastle United. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/10/05/simon-grayson-comments-on-sheffield-wednesday-crowd/?

BC1867 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well 20k there may explain it. But in other news, who cares what a losing manager moans about. Let's hope we hear a few more pointless comments from losers after visiting S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It's only going to get worse as we target the Prawn Sandwich brigade. What you targeting them for, TUF probably make more money from prawns than they do tuna (in this country).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It was always going to be quieter playing against Preston, when we are expecting to win and the away fans are quiet, compared to playing Leeds which is what he was comparing it to. Start of the 2nd half when we picked up the pace and had chance after chance until we scored the noise really picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Bearing in mind he played for us in some of the really dark days I am confident he has heard it quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm outraged and inraged about his comment. Obviously he couldn't hear me parping on the Kop I like this comment however...

Blue and white tinted glasses.The band get slated but without them, Hillsborough would be silent. I don't like the band, I think their so tinpot but they serve a purpose.
