Jim Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 What they don't realise is we're probably the team that'll most likely handle the pressure of the run-in and the play-offs. Today's game proved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it not be that we're barely getting a mention because we're essentially performing as to expectation? We're beaten play-off finalists... it should be a talking point if we don't finish in the top 6. Huddersfield have been a revelation since Wagner took over halfway through last season, as evidenced by them likely finishing above us on a fraction of ours and many of the other top 6's budget. That's a talking point. Leeds were miles behind play-offs last year and have been in top 6 most of the year and look in danger of dropping away... that's a talking point. Reading finished 17th last season... talking point. Fulham 20th ffs and are scoring goals for fun (be it from mistakes or not)... talking point. They only have a limited time on the show and you've got 3 teams currently in the play-offs that finished 17th, 19th and 20th last season. What do you think they're going to talk about... the largely uninspiring but workmanlike for most of the season Wednesday, or the-looking at it objectively- revelations- of the other three teams involved? Chill out my dudes, there'll be plenty of time to chat about us as play-off contenders once we confirm our place in them over the next fortnight Personally I couldn't care less but it did strike me as a little odd that they failed to even mention us in passing. I mean how can you have a conversation about the playoffs without even mentioning one of the teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeowls87 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Chris Iwelumo just talked nonsense for the most part First he was on the Fulham bandwagon and assuming they would make the Playoffs, fair enough Think 80% of people now assume that, he also seemed to imply Huddersfield were in the Playoffs He then mentioned he thinks Leeds will still make the Playoffs now they are chasing it will give them a new focus, Just ignoring the fact they went into todays game in 7TH OUTSIDE THE PLAYOFFS, how'd that new focus work out today? So he thinks Leeds are in, seemed to suggest Fulham and Huddersfield would be In so was he suggesting we would miss out, Ok he can think and probably isn't the only one but at least say it, to me he suggested Leeds would be in without thinking that would mean someone would drop out.

thommowl Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's unbelievable how sad so many of our fans have become no mention of us this no mention of us that. Yet last season it was the best show on earth when the same fans believed channel 5 loved us. Deary me get a grip who gives a monkey's what pundits think.

Bluesteel Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It wouldn't have hurt them to mention that we are the form team and that we have won 5 on the bounce. But Fulham are impressing in the manner of their wins and there is only a short slot for discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthinrob Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 5 minutes ago, newbster said: They mentioned Fulham are the form team with 4 wins on the bounce shows how inadequate they are in fact finding Exactly. This is the 'pundit' who tipped Huddersfield for relegation. Who then was touting Leeds to break into the auto positions. It's not about Wednesday fans being 'needy'. This is a football 'current affairs', 'news' programme, where you are entitled to expect, with it being on mainstream television a certain level of editorial competence. On a day when we have overtaken some of their nailed on favourites and moved up to fourth place, not to mention the best form stats over the last five games, you would expect as an absolute bare minimum at least a passing mention, even if it's through gritted teeth. Anyone suspect we may be paying the penalty for 'mugging' the media darlings Brighton last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlLuke Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 As someone already said, you can simply stop watching it, the Sky Sports website already has longer highlights out within the hour of the match finishing, and the Wednesday youtube channel has extended highlights+commentary of around ~10 mins at midday the day after. Things have never really been better for watching highlights after a match. The punditry has never been good at this level, we'll only get half decent punditry when we're in the premier league.
