Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 ''Sheffield Wednesday v Brentford, Saturday 3pm Sheffield Wednesday are in the hunt for automatic promotion now. Absolutely. I'd be stunned if they don't make the play-offs at least. In fact, I think they're nailed on for a top-six finish. I'm especially delighted for the Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal, who conducts himself impeccably and has got his team playing a very attractive style of football. They've already scored two more goals than they managed in the whole of last season! The crowd are loving it as this type of challenge wasn't to be expected - playing without expectation will be a huge advantage over some of the other teams in the promotion race. They've got a free shot at it this year. I can easily see them winning here, but I'm backing goals as this style of play always leaves the door open for the opposition.'' OLLIE PREDICTS: 3-2 (Sky Bet odds 22/1) Love what he's said here about us. Think he's absolutely spot on when he talks about our advantage over others in regards to pressure. This is our first season challenging for promotion, it is a free shot when you compare us to Boro and Derby who have been trying to claw out this league for a while now. Especially Derby. Even Brighton had a couple of go's at it before having to sell off Ulloa and a few others. Then there's Hull and Burnley who have the PL parachute payments and there's always pressure to go straight back up. Isn't Ollie a Spaniel owned by one of our own ? TBF, His predictions have been a litlle like the Owlsmans lucky dumps recently.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) FO does Posh Spice too. Ps - you still a mod Darra? Seems someone tried to set up an account called Fandabidozi and hasn't got access to posting yet. Claims to know me from school. Just wondered why not approved. Are they dodgy? Does David watch whilst this is going on? Edited February 12, 2016 by Utah Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 For those getting moist, nay, excited, the most accurate part of Holloway chat is that this is our 'free shot'. We got the money this season, we're spending it on delayed actual invoices, and buoyed a little by Antonio bonus. Just like Forest, Bolton, Fulham and Blackburn, if we spend beyond our means without going up in next season or so, we end up losing our best players for knockdown prices and an owner who is sick of the money pit. It's this season or bust lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Think if we bought Hooper, FF and Bannan in the summer then we could be realistically going for an automatic promotion spot. Think we have left ourselves too much to but no means impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 When we got to the gates of Animal Kingdom last year, there was a bunch of Japanese Tourists waiting to have their bags checked. They spoke no English, so the guy checking the bags started speaking in fluent Japanese, holding a full conversation with them. I was well impressed. Do you speak another language FO? yes gobbledygook , only kidding FO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't want to get carried away, but after the win on Saturday (that reminded me of the Carlisle win) and constantly seeing "6 points clear, with games in hand".
