Who've scored 22 goals more than us? Who've spent more on players this season than we spent assembling our entire squad? Managed by a guy who's wont the Champions Legaue, UEFA cup and La Liga (twice!) Why on earth would you be 'royally pissed'? :D ....yes on all counts. Mainly because I am a Sheffield Wednesday fan and long term ST holder who reserves the right to react in whatever way I please to a particular result. Only difference is, if we do lose, I won't try and sell it as the apocalypse. I'll move on to the next fairly quickly (after I've finished being royally pissed off).

Dagmeister Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Would be satisfied with four points from the next two games so a point OK so long as we beat Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not questioning your right to react how you want.. Just, for me at least, if we do lose it, it'll be the one that bothers me least of all the games we've lost this season. In fact, it'd bother me less than the draw at Barnsley did. Edited April 7, 2017 by cookeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Newcastle are as good as it gets in this league, however not unbeatable and depending if we turn up more than their equal. If we set up to counter their strengths, anticipate a tight game and a draw....if we actually go out to try and win, have a good chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're a good side but the main annoyance will come from the fact (if we lose) that we can't seem to find any kind of winning form or consistency in arguably the most important time in our club's recent history. A draw and I'll accept it as a point gained rather than 2 lost, a win and I'll be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Trouble is, ordinarily we could have put this game down as the one game we can afford to lose But by not beating the teams we should have, Burton, Barnsley etc, we've put ourselves in a position where we need to get a result from teams like Newcastle, hopefully we turn up in the same mood as the Norwich game.

Owl999 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'd take a point if we were still 6th before kick off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Really could do with 3 but as I think we will lose yes I will take a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Newcastle have the best all-round players in the division, so defeat is always likely against them, whoever you are. Yet they play the type of football which Carlos understands, so we have some hope. We'll always have a chance against teams which play open, attacking football; teams who believe they can beat us without making special provision for us. Far more worrying for me are the games against Cardiff, Durby and Epswech. If we take three points from those three games we'll have done well. If we beat Newcastle tomorrow, then lose to Colinho, it really wouldn't be a surprise. The reason I wanted a managerial change was as an attempt to thwart Warnock and McCarhy, you know, confound them with new tactics. But it was not to be, clangers were dropped, and golden opportunities wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 A win tomorrow would be amazing, however a draw against the top of the table team would be a very good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acquiescefc Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I think Carlos should come on Owlstalk and decide what to do based on this thread. As others have said, Newcastle have kicked on since we beat them, we havent really. Carlos will say hes playing to win but honestly I expect lots of passing across the half way line. A point will be good but Newcastle away form is too good to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 More what Fulham do tomorrow. If Fulham win, we got to win, got to keep going for the wins and hope other teams slip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Draw is not at all a terrible result but no wouldn't take a point at home before we even kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The amount of threads in which week in week out our fans would take a point staggers me. If our players had the defeatist mentality of some of our fans who are happy with mediocrity we'd finish every season with 46 points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1981 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm hoping Brighton win tonight. That should make Newcastle more open as they will want to attack us for the win and hopefully suit our play better. However, in answer to the opening post, I'd take a boring nil nil.
