In the 20 years of so I have been watching us on and off in away games the only prolonged time of going with any confidence of a result was in the Sturrock promotion season. No matter how goo, bad or indifferent we have been I've become accustomed to seeing us get beat on our travels. It is dire to watch us under the negative tactics at the moment because we should be capable of much better with the players we have. Preston was a complete non event for us. At the moment at least I don't think it can be labelled as a lack of effort on the part of the players, which would be unacceptable and has happened in the past, it is more that they are being very badly coached tactically and the approach is what makes it hard to watch. It was the same team as Leeds and in the first half we couldn't string two passes together...that's got f*** all to do with bad coaching or tactics...in the second half we were at it presumably because CC gave then what for at half time and got a leader on the pitch...we created numerous chances and Rhodes could have had three and had a stone wall penalty not given...if we had started the first half like the second we would have been out of sight...that's down to the players and I think it was no co-incidence that when Sam came on we were bang at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you knew that? We’re by far the greatest team, that some of us have never seen, and it’s Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield Wdnesday FC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are suffering from a combination of poor performance, expectation and Sheffield United. For me it's all about United being in this league that makes me feel sick and angry. Could just see us written in the stars we would lose yesterday...after ten mins we were one nill down...I laughed....then saw ipswich on top at United and we were getting on top with chance after chance....then we were two down and then my phone flashed roger off basham had scored....everything is linked to them for me....I can see it now that idiot on look north saying mind the gap before our game against hull is going to haunt us and united will be in the premier league before us argggggggggggghhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athelwulf Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I guess it's a tale of two managers. One has a squad assembled for a pickled onion which sits top of the league, another with a squad pieced together for a king's ransom which loses to Bolton.

modboy Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Be interesting to see season ticket sales if we end up midtable Plus not many will fall for the "more attack minded" spin again And if prices go up again FFS Wednesday it's our anniversary year, sort it out whilst there's still time, and hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this against a team that had previously failed to score in 8, haven't scored 2 since the opening week and the only other team they have beaten this season besides us twice is Crewe. We played well and deserved to beat Leeds but prior to that we lost to another team that had failed to win since the opening week and could not keep a clean sheet at all. We have some of the best attacking options in the Championship but in our 12 games we have failed to score more than 1 on 8 occasions. We have conceded the first goal 7 times. We are better against sides that play open football but when the onus is on us to do the attacking we are slow and predictable. Please don't tell me our poor performances, particularly our awful first half displays are not down to poor tactics that don't get the most out of the options we have available.

Don't know but the money spent by a lot of fans is the first way that they are helping the club anyway. Then when you get served up with that yesterday, and it's nowhere near the first time, then you can see the reaction even from level headed fans. Everyone has their breaking point, look across the 5000 yesterday and I'd say a lot more are fed up than aren't. I think people are going to start doing things a lot more damaging than giving the players a bit of stick. They might stop going which will hinder our promotion push.

My passion for the team is dwindling every time they play like this and it’s ruining my Saturdays. But if we turn it around and get to Wembley you`ll want a ticket, cos you have been going for years.. Through good times and bad. Wouldn't be much of a holiday , and wouldn't put a cheap holiday ahead of Wednesday , but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed , if I had one criticism of DC, is we dont appear to have the right football people from DC down to coaching staff, commercial etc to position us as a well run club. It seems to me he is pumping cash in, and its getting wasted. We need better structure to achieve our aims. Serious questions over Doyen sports and their influence for me.
