Classic mistake Mick, you had 12 points to raise. You need to start by saying "First of all I want to say something about the Blades" It always works for Bruno.

 

As for the hosts they should try closing their mouths and giving their arses a chance.... Football pundits "Lets start with three strikers"

 

There is a blatant misunderstanding of pace, I believe pace is all to do with speed of moving the ball rather than a JJ type on the wing (As exciting as that may be). Our lack of pace in the game stems from back four rejecting simple first time passes in favour of two or three touches and a 360 deg turn.

 

Like me, no matter what the performance I always look at the next crack at it. Johnathon "Other teams can do it" (Breaking teams down) Well other than the top 3 only Ipswich have managed to win an equal number of games to those they have failed to win  8W   1D    7L which would suggest to me other teams can't manage to break teams down to order.

 

Other factors not touched upon Lee recovering from a long term post op injury, Hutch & Fessi both long term misses and George Boyde likewise.

 

I am as frustrated as most of the rest of our fanbase but letting that frustration turn into something more sinister is not productive at all. 

Nope my 12 point reference was paraphrasing Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step plan in that My Name is Mick and i'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan 

 

Its what passes for wit in Romish ( i know i know ) 

 

I made the exact same point at the match on Satdi we could do with someone with the ability to get there very fast ala JJ but with an actual end product unlike our erstwhile friend

Let's hope doyen go in January 

I am with  you on this one mate but, from Footyleaks website, their contracts with us appear to be annual so you'd have to be lucky.

 

Then again, they might earn their crust by getting their client Hirsty to re-sign.

I think we definitely need some pace on the flanks but lets be right on the odd occasion we got in position to cross on Saturday the delivery was abysmal from all of the players concerned 

On pace, clearly if we could find the next Alan Judge would be great.

 

But best winger I ever saw - and most effective - was John Robertson and he was 3st overweight and on 40 fags a day.

 

Pace he lacked, but see the cross for Tricky Trevor to win European Cup in 1979. Brilliant.

 

Anyway, at least Blades' lack of squad strength is now showing up. Above them soon.

I find the gushing about United on tonight's programme from Wednesday fans a bit odd. Yeah they're having a good season but do we need to have all this "It'd be good for Sheffield to have a Premier League team" and "It's nice to see a local side doing well".

Hopefully it's being patronising about the great unwashed. I don't believe that a Wednesdayite seriously wants them in the Premier League if we're not.........not many would want them there even if we were!

The Blades were undone by pace last night, and were suppressed down the flanks.  Tufty was outcoached. That defence is vulnerable, but as yet few have been able to isolate it because of the strength of United's midfield. Hopefully now Couttts is gone it will be exposed more often.
