Holmowl Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Its been many years since this type of question was relevant to us.... If you can't have both, would you prefer a win over Stoke or 3 points v Derby on Sunday? I would love to beat Stoke, and be on TV v City or Liverpool over 2 legs, but I think we are serious contenders for 6th place, and I would take the 3 points in a heartbeat. It would probably move us into 6th or 7th, close the gap on Derby, end the run that we haven't done well v top sides, and give the guys a massive confidence boost at the start of a tough run of fixtures.

parkerowl Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Derby 100% for me. In fact if you gave me the choice between winning the league cup or getting 12 points in december, i'd tae the points all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd want us to beat Derby We need the 3 points and we never beat them so we're well over due a result against em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Derby is a far FAR bigger game in the grand scheme of things for Sheffield Wednesday. I'd take 3 points against them ahead of a win on Tuesday all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlandandsea Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Derby 3 points. League is always more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Derby is one game out of 46 and we always lose to them anyway. Stoke is our best chance for ages of going far in a cup competition. Has to be Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd like us to beat Stoke, lose to Derby, then win the following 4 league matches so we will be 6th and in a cup semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wath-owl Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I would prefer to beat Stoke, but that's probably because I have already mentally accepted that we won't beat Derby. We never do. Here's another one. If right now you were offered a guaranteed playoff spot, or a guaranteed league cup final, which would you choose? For me it would be the cup final. Football is all about winning silverware, not simply making it to the Premier League. As far as I'm concerned it's just a matter of time until we make it back to the Prem. It WILL happen at some point in the next few years, but getting to a cup final comes around once in a blue moon for a club like us. I was too young to appreciate 91' and 93'. I would love to get the chance to watch us play in a cup final at Wembley, and it would be even more special if we could have the opportunity to win it from the 2nd division again.

theowlsman Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 It's not an either or situation though is it? We're quite capable of winning both games. The team that played Newcastle did an ok job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Can't see the point of having such a large squad, if you can't target both games. We don't play Derby until Sunday lunchtime, so they will have had 4 clear days recovery. It's about time we picked our best 11 every week, and stuck with it.

31Dec1966 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Derby 100% for me. In fact if you gave me the choice between winning the league cup or getting 12 points in december, i'd tae the points all day long Absolutely not! Winning the League Cup at Wembley in 1991 was the highlight of my (nearly) 50 years of supporting Wednesday. We could get 12 points in December and still not go up anyway. If I had the choice I would take winning a trophy over promotion. The golden memory of actually winning a cup is far better than just playing league matches in the top division. And that memory lasts a lifetime. Mundane league matches against the likes of Swansea, Stoke and Watford come nowhere near. Derby is definitely the most important game for the long term future of the club, but if the choice is definitely winning the league Cup after winning at Stoke I'll take that!

Although I agree about playing your strongest side where possible the games moved on now and squad rotation is now massively important to a successful club. I believe different players make the team the strongest when facing certain opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Derby for me though. Just like i'd go back and swap the Arsenal win for one at Charlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 We need to look at the bigger picture, and while another premier league scalp in the cup and a semi final place would be fantastic, beating Derby has to take priority for me. 3 pts on saturday would be massive for us.
