For all you 'jones out ' morons read the bit at the bottom 'settle down everyone'. Can't add link sorry at work. Well done Alan Biggs. There you go : You are here Sport Alan Biggs: Thunderclaps over a blue sky Alan Bigg Telegraph Web Tile Published on Thursday 27 September 2012 13:20 When managers issue “stick together†pleas and star players engage in Twitter rows with “thick†supporters the word “crisis†is normally in the air. Well, let me tell you there are loads of clubs who’d love the sort of “crisis†Sheffield Wednesday are experiencing right now. Coventry City for one. And, yes, Sheffield United even for another. What’s so remarkable about these thunderclaps over Hillsborough is that they’ve come from a bright blue sky. Okay, a few clouds were up there but they were mostly fluffy white ones. Proof that football can be as changeable as the weather. But let’s take a raincheck on all this. First, it would be totally wrong to say Wednesday fans have turned against a manager whose status was unassailable just a few short weeks ago. There are a few dissenters in any crowd and the Owls just happen to have a bigger proportion than most simply because they are currently the best supported club in the Championship. The mood change isn’t as radical as it seems. But mostly it stems from people getting too up in the first place and this then magnifies the downs. Here, I count myself as guilty as anyone in talking up Wednesday for a top six place on the basis of their early form. I still feel they have the ability and backing to make a charge - providing the feel-good momentum returns. And here’s where the fans come in; they really mustn’t “lose it†in all senses of the term. As for Jay Bothroyd and his internet skirmish after some supporters booed him off last weekend, I’m with him 100% in his indignation -even if he was unwise to express it. This is an accomplished, proven striker getting to grips with playing in a new team experiencing a bit of a wobble. I thought he showed enough in the previous game against Huddersfield - dominant in the air and some deft touches on the ground - to suggest that he will be a regular scorer with the right sort of service. And so to the manager. Too many changes? Maybe. Certainly, they haven’t worked. But a defence of Dave Jones’ record is not, or should not, be required. But here goes anyway (Played 22 Won 14 Drawn 3 Lost 5). It just so happens that those defeats have come in a single trot. But let’s not run away with the idea - as a small minority have - that he has suddenly lost the plot. Just check out his cv across all his clubs. Then settle down everyone! Jones deserves the support to end this run before it gets out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Briscoe Inferno Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Jones deserves the support to end this run before it gets out of hand. I have everything crossed that it will come. But it might take some blue sky thinking to get us going. Getting the first goal has never been more crucial tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Alan Biggs is enjoying a great resurgence locally after engaging with social media, networking and websites. We all know his previous allegiances to a certain ex-chairman but every war has to have two sides fighting to make it a spectacular one and Alan just chose the wrong side on that occasion He's becoming more prolific and more high profile recently and is working hard publishing books too (Brian Laws autobiography being one of them) Nice bloke - and getting much more refined as he does more indepth work - like I say he just chose the wrong side of the journalistic fence when our fans were being ripped and chased through law courts by a certain ex-chairman and CEO combination...

gurujuan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 A decent article and I don't think there are too many dissenters Not sure we will come out of this slump though without a bit of proactive wheeling and dealing The squad is too big and unbalanced and still missing a few key components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Good article. I agree with what he is saying, but in the days of social media and messageboards, they are often used to vent anger and get some frustration out after a loss. Sadly it then looks like the fans are revolting until the dust settles. I expect it to happen again tomorrow evening if we lose at Wolves before we become more positive again on the eve of the next game. I also agree with what DJ is saying, in that we just need to get a result from somewhere to change things. But I am still worried that it may take us a while to get that result with some of the comedy defending taking place.
