Blue and white Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 This is Sheffield Wednesday, we could beat Brentford and lose to Luton and neither would surprise me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looking at that little lot the best thing Chansiri can do is leave Thompson and Bullen in charge. There’s no time for a new manager to do anything on the training pitches with a schedule like that. Five of the eight games are away from home with some long journeys, Bournemouth, Brentford Millwall etc. Bringing in a new coach/ manager would be the most disruptive thing. Just imagine trying to get to know the squad and changing style and formation during a run of games like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themagiccap Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 With those and the two league games in Jan I can see nothing but maximum points and fa cup progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Think if we are going to come out of those games with a good points total we need the rub of the green with injuries. If we get a couple of key players out or playing half fit think we could find ourselves needing too much to do going into last few couple of months of the season. Keeping my fingers crossed Bannan, Reach, Windass, Lees all stay fit and in good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Its one of those crazy runs of fixtures, where if you get off to a bad start, it can really compound itself and implode very quickly. But a good start, and hopefully momentum will continue. My fear is we dont have the depth in the squad to deal with this effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think we'll know where we are by the end of those games. We could be really in contention to stay up or massively cut adrift. 12 points minimum from Feb I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenoside owl Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Nero said: Next manager - 'I haven't had chance to train the squad - its just been games twice a week'. That's why Chansiri taking his time over the next manager is yet another small failure, solely down to him, like the late purchase of the ground and the 6 points it has cost us, which will eventually lead us to relegation. Couldn’t agree more with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Tuesday sat Tuesday Saturday... Could well be the defining point of our season. It’s why we really need to crack on and sign players. We really don’t have enough depth in key positions because when the fixtures are so congested the injuries will inevitably pile up. My main concern is bannan. I’m amazed he’s managed to be relatively injury free over the past few seasons but if he gets injured I’m absolutely certain we will get relegated, he’s carried us this season. We have decent cover on the wings (assuming we manage to keep hold of reach). Defensive mid we have Shaw, Luongo, Pelupessy. Centre back we have a good depth. And regards the striker situation, well we all know that’s a big concern. Put simply, we need: - Left back (absolutely no idea why this wasn’t addressed in the summer) - Creative/ attacking midfielder - at least 1 more striker. We don’t know if andre green can be utilised as a striker, marriot has done jack all and need I mention Jordan Rhodes. Windass is good and Patterson is OK but we certainly need support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The fixture scheduling in February for the last two seasons has been absolutely brainless from the EFL. iirc February was the busiest month last season too for league fixtures, we had 7 league games in 28 days!

Bulldog Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm thinking 10 points so still on course for 50 at the end of the season (assuming we get 4 points from Coventry and Preston before these games ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Reading through this thread just highlights (again) the absolute mess we are in, there have been a couple of glimmers of hope but I now feel relegation is almost certain, having a man with no clue about football running everything is going to give any future owners an absolute nightmare to sort out. I think the play off appearance in the first season now looks a poisoned chalice and I think it gave DC a Yosser Hughes style "I can do that" mentality that persists to this day.
