mike84 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The season is coming way too soon for Wednesday, we will lose to Dagenham, there a team who have just got a promotion and probably still on a buzz, not to mention there players have been together for a while now. I fear the worse this coming weekend, reality time folks unfortunately. God, so negative, can you tell me the last time we had a good pre-season? And then what our performance was like in the season following it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I think we can build a decent side from the players we have, Jones, Coke, Johnson and Purse to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give over, we've given ourselves a cracking chance to bounce straight back with the players brought in during preseason. Considering we've not been able to sign players for 50% of the time and we've had £0 to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purse was awful against Barnsley and got caught out on regular occasions from there new signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniper1 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Which ever players get picked for next sat then they will be up for it. 20+ thousand Wednesdayites behind them will only assist this, I can't see anything but a win, no matter what side we put out. We will probably have about 6 debutant's which can only help with getting over last season. I think our defending will be the problem this season, we have too much going forward not to score goals. Remember we haven't kicked a competitive football yet, at least give the players a chance. You might not be disappointed. Can't f'kin wait, C'mon Wednesday. PS sack the board.

Right, we haven't got a keeper, O'Donnell is truly shocking for a start, so what happens if our replacement gets injured? Hinds was like a Sunday league player the other day and hasn't got a clue, Purse is past it. Otsemobor is lost and doesn't know weather to defend or attack, Morrison will be lucky to string a couple of full games together. O'Conner is a conference player and Potter only knows how to play it sidewards, not to mention he takes free kicks and scored the grand total of 3 goals last year, oh aar loads to look forward to lads.

Mate, i have got to stop you right there, a bad pre season is one thing, fair enough results haven't been great. But to say we haven't got much in our squad for 46 league one games is f'kin messed up. We have a much better squad than last season and with one more win we could have stayed up. I don't expect us to walk the League but i bet 23 League one teams are wishing they had our options. Alan Irvine will now earn his money getting them playing together, this does take time though.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 We have to forget pre-season now, we could have won ALL pre-season game's and had a shocking start to the season, yet we could have lost every game and have a great start to the season, so it's difficult to judge really. But now is where the player's/management have to earn their wages, the player's are now gearing up for Dagenham match and everything now is focused on that match.

We'll see won't we. What and who were you expecting us to sign out of interest? Just to remind you as well, o'donnell was the back up keeper last year so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about if the replacement keeper gets injured.

Guest Owl30 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Anyone who has seen Wednesday through pre-season must admit we look well off the pace, i for one cannot believe the season starts in 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sniper1 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Anyone who has seen Wednesday through pre-season must admit we look well off the pace, i for one cannot believe the season starts in 7 days. Ok hopefully this might put your mind to rest a little Alan Irvine and his staff have worked these boys very hard over the last 4 weeks or so, 3 sessions a day in Austria then long hard cardio sessions on returning to Sheffield, this is prepering the players for a long gruelling season of hard f'kin work. Every player should now be as fit as they could be (excluding Clinton Morrison) going into this season. Not sure about the Doncaster game today but the lads have been training hard even before the pre season friendlies, running up to 3 hours before kick off, this is going to hit the players energy levels hard, that is why you have seen heavy legged maybe sluggish pre season games. This training will not continue through the season, the lads will now have a high level of fitness, which will just need keeping, it is much easier to keep fit than get fit. Watch these boys come out of the blocks next Saturday, you will not recognise them from the tired looking players you have seen through pre season, and because of the high fitness levels they will be able to keep up the high tempo. Just you wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodytheowl Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I've only seen today, Barnsley and Hallam but this week I thought (a) we had patches and were on top for at least half of each game (b) we had a very patchy team Tues and although stronger today still not our starting lineup. To the OP, chin up gaylord, we're gonna come out and spank their cockney rassclat asses on saturday, mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your right i really do, but i have warranted fears for this coming season, Irvine for me still has to prove he has what it takes, after all he had a honey moon period and did naff all after that. A lot of the players are still with us who relegated us, Tudgay, Miller, O'Connor, Potter, Spurr, JJ. How good are these players, Spurr has been awful in pre-season aswell as Tudgay.
