Wow. Do you reckon somebody bitter wrote this report on sportinglife?

 

 

he Owls, who stretched their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions, extended their even better record against the Millers in away league matches thanks to a five-minute two-goal salvo at the start of the second half.

 
Lucas Joao put them ahead just 34 seconds after the restart and Fernando Forestieri made it two in the 50th minute, ensuring the Owls remain unbeaten at Rotherham in the league since 1976.
 
Tom Thorpe's consolation at the death did little to mask a poor Rotherham performance that outlined the uphill task new boss Neil Redfearn has in keeping them in the Championship as he is still yet to taste victory in three games.
 
The red-hot atmosphere in the build-up to kick-off gave hope that a barnstorming derby was on the way, but it did not start off that way.
 
Both teams were hindered by a lack of quality and clear-cut chances were at a premium.
 
It was perhaps Rotherham that had the better of the opening 35 minutes, with Jonson Clarke-Harris having an effort from distance that tested Kieren Westwood's handling.
 
But it was Wednesday who finished the half the stronger as they had two chances to take the lead, with Barry Bannan heading over at the end of a counter-attack before Kieran Lee fired over from another quick break.
 
However, Wednesday needed just 34 seconds of the second half to take the lead.
 
Forestieri nicked possession off Thorpe in the penalty area and drove in a low shot which Lee Camp could only push out to the grateful Joao, who had the simplest of tap-ins.
 
If the Millers keeper could have done better for the first goal, he was solely at fault for Wednesday's second five minutes later.
 
The former Bournemouth man meekly fumbled weak Daniel Pudil's header from a corner and Forestieri was on hand for another tap in from close range.
 
Wednesday were rampant and Joao should have had another, but he fired over from eight yards.
 
Rotherham eventually stemmed the tide and tried to muster some sort of response, but they never looked like reducing the arrears as Wednesday's defence, marshalled by Glenn Loovens, had as trouble-free evening as they could have wished for.
 
Indeed it was Wednesday who had further opportunities, with the enterprising Bannan blazing over the best of them before placing another one wide.
 
Thorpe did find the back of the net as he converted Chris Maguire's free-kick with the final action, but there was little for the Millers supporters to cheer as they suffered more derby disappointment.

So proud of every aspect of SWFC tonight / at the moment.
The result, the performance, the teamwork, the fans especially and Carlos the unstoppable sex machine as well.
Buzzing for the future.

Not really, that's a fair assessment of the first half, neither side had many chances and our first real chances were in the last 5 minutes of the half. After the break we picked up where we left off and smash and grabbed two goals.

What do you mean by "think", either he did or he din't - which is it ?

Wasn't there so can't be 100% sure.

 

But watching on SKY they were doing their post match analysis lark, our fans mostly still there & their fans had buggered off.

A player ran out the tunnel and clapped toward our fans & our fans started singing 'Buxton, is a Wednesdayite'

 

Put two and two together lol

NEXT!!!

Got to be happy with things at this point. C'mon you blue and white b@s$tard$!! Don't want to get carried away but how good would it be to do Arsenal (I mean they're not that much better than Rovrum yeah?). Right now, I'd settle for a convincing performance it has to be said. We are still a work in progress but definitely getting into shape. Boom!
