Pulcinella Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Full of inaccuracies. You'd wonder whether it's written by a Blade. Stupid. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/sheffield-wednesday-have-found-their-level/ Sheffield Wednesday have found their level. Since relegation from the Premier League, the Owls have been relegated three times, promoted twice and made two play-off campaigns. But the Hillsborough outfit have, in the main, been a mediocre side. Take the two play-off campaigns out of the equation in 2015-16 and 2016-17, Wednesday have been a beleaguered middle of the road team. Last season they finished 15th with Atdhe Nuhiu their top scorer with 11 goals. Even with the firepower of a once effervescent Jordan Rhodes unable to hit the heights of days gone by at Huddersfield and Blackburn, they were unable to mount any momentum. The Owls had a change in manager on Christmas Eve no less, when Carlos Carvalhal was dismissed. Jos Luhukay was appointed but only won nine of his games since January 5. His win percentage sits at 37.50% – which is in line with their final league position. Sheffield Wednesday is a proud, historic club, deemed a sleeping giant in England’s second their. But titles and previous glory counts for nothing but status. There is no divine right to be in the Premier League or battling it out for promotion year in, year out. As the saying goes: the table doesn’t lie – you always deserve to be where you are. Having had an average attendance of over 20,000 for 17 of the last 18 seasons this could give fans the right to think they deserve success – but fans don’t play to win the points. The narrative that the more fans you have the more successful you should be is an outdated ideology. Sheffield Wednesday are where they should be due to recruitment and performances on the pitch. You will have your seasons and your moments that you need to grasp when presented to you, and if not, where you are is where you deserve to be. And Wednesday are a side that will ultimately make up the numbers in next season’s Sky Bet Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Stop the press!!!! A faceless keyboard warrior thinks the most successful club in Yorkshire have found their level in the Championship. The authority on such matters has spoken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Fails to mention that when Jos got some of our better players back from injury that we were one of the best teams in the league for the last part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I suppose if you ignore two of our three full seasons since the new regime took over, you might draw the same conclusions. It'd be pretty thick to do so, though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 isn't that the same place that has been running the same article for the last 6 weeks that we need to sell Rhodes and Abdi and sign Jack Marriott I would put much stock into it they are lower down he scale than the HITC which is a Leeds United publication. Which according to them Leeds will be signing George Hirst and Fernando Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Genuinely don't see the point of getting worked up about this sort of thing. It is semi-literate ("The narrative that the more fans you have the more successful you should be is an outdated ideology") is the sort of thing a B-grade year 11 might write. It sets about attacking straw men ("there is no divine right..."; well, indeed, not). The final para may or may not be true, but it is simply a non seq. There we go. Some no-mark writes something dull on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So, a clubs final league position is where they deserve to be at the end of the season? Nowt gets past this kid! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 It's hard to find stuff to write about when you work for football league world and the football league is on holiday. He's just trying to drive traffic to his site and with this thread he has hit success. As for the article, i think most pundits will be sticking us in mid table this season. We shall see, no one predicted Cardiff getting promoted last June or Huddersfield the June before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I see no point in that article whatsoever. We know we are a championship club just happen to be superior to all our shitty little neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
