Anston Owl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Egan signed a new contract. Balls. Seems the story about his new big house in Wickersley was right. Think all the squad except Lundstram tied down for 2-3 years now but not to say they won't move if bigger clubs (half the prem) come in for any of that back 5...which is the strenght of the team. Will they get complacent now they are all on better money? Hope so. The defence has no competition either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately I think they’ll be ok next year. I doubt they’ll get top half again as the top sides can’t be as poor as they were last season. 11th- 15th would be my guess Edited August 21, 2020 by Django Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately everyone is ruling out that fact that Wilder always improves from his previous season's position. He did it in non-league, then in the lower leagues with Oxford and Northampton, then with the Pigs. To suggest that they won't finish as high or even higher again next season means that he and/or his players have now plateaued. Perhaps, but there is just as much evidence so say that they could kick on and nail a European place this time. Plus we don't know who else they could sign yet. I'll get slated for saying this of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence is solid but will let more in with an inferior keeper but they will prob score more...the strikers are not great but McGoldrick missed lots of chances he may take next season. I think that there are 4 or 5 worse teams for definite. There are a lot worse managers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsboromassive Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Big shame about Egan signing a new deal. The back five the pigs have were solid last season. Would be nice to see them relegated, but i just can't see it.. Henderson not going back is a shining light to hang onto.. but they signed ramsdale who let's be honest, was the tenth best keeper in the league statistically and that was for Bournemouth. Heart wants relegation.. minds saying 11th to 15th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I think the fact that there hasn't been a proper pre season throughout football could make things interesting along with no pre season friendlies to fine tune sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If anything that’s in the pigs’ favour: they’ve been together for a good while so don’t need familiarising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread/section isn't hidden though, it's been viewable by anybody for some time now without the need to register. Yes I look on there now and then, so what? I find their hate-filled rantings about us rather amusing tbh, but it seems that half of them are permanently camped on Owlstalk reporting back every day on everything we say on here (not just in this thread), which is a whole different level of obsession/paranoia to what you accuse me of, it's really quite funny. I think on here we take the píss in a largely comical way, but on there it's pure bile with hating Wednesday more than loving United deeply ingrained in their DNA. That's the difference between you, sorry I mean them, and us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it doesnt get too personal it is a healthy rivalry. Edited August 22, 2020 by ATBS . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) These 'sleeper cells' aren't particularly covert are they? Quite easy to spot actually. Spend most of their time in this section getting easily triggered with ultra defensive posts. Also, they will always refer to them as blades with a capital B or just united. Can never bring themselves to say pigs or blunts. Just check out the posting history on some of the names in the last few pages of this thread ; it's hilariously tragic that grown men are pretending to be fans of another sports team on an Internet chat board. Weirdos. Edited August 22, 2020 by The Horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I actually had a Shef U fan actively set up a Twitter account to tweet abuse at me (similar username but not exactly the same) because he didnt like some of the posts I'd made in this specific thread. He stopped tweeting after I suggested he may want to seek professional help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
