AlanLee 15 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Hello all, Well who'd have thought it. The might of The Massive slugging it out with Toytown to stay up. How the mighty have fallen eh? Looking through the titles of your threads I can see you think the outlook of surviving is pretty bleak given your current situation. Not helped by the chairman (oh sugar I've spilt my Elev8 energy drink on my new £58 Elevate shirt. Please someone, ring me a taxi. No, not City Cars, I much prefer to ride with DTaxis. Yes I know I've spent £47 to get a seat in the newly sold Hillsborough but I really need to get back to Rotherham and change this shirt.) Anyway, enough of the banter. Wednesday's game is season defining. The winner keeps in touch with the pack above but lose and you're really getting cut adrift with a mountain to climb. I wouldn't say it's impossible for the loser to stay up but it'll be a momentous effort to avoid relegation won't it? In many ways we are in similar form. We've both had good runs recently but then gone through an awful run in the last couple of weeks. From our point of view it's not looking good. Ihekwie, our main centre back is suspended. Wood and Robertson have been injured leaving one fit centre half in a back line where we've been playing 3. In short, its going to force a change of formation and players playing out of position. Our poor run of form has coincided with losing Jamie Lynsdey to a long term injury. He was the main man in our high press game. Without him and a lack of goals up front I'm a little nervous for this game. As an optimist though I'll stick my neck out and say it'll be a tight affair and we'll score late to get a 1 nil win.

Sure you said earlier in the season that you would finish above us easily? Must be gutting for you that we have actually won more points on the pitch despite gifting you 3 at your place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

neo hippy 753 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Biggest game of the season for the mini pigs. Sounds like if we attack we could score a few. Will they ever be any good at this level? Fully expecting a 3 -0 loss. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think George Hirst has a sniff of playing in this one? Owlstalk Shop Link to post Share on other sites
AlanLee 15 Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 I actually do think he might start Hirst just for the fact he'll be fired up for it at Hillsborough. He's only had a few starts early in the season and usually comes on for the last 10 or 20 mins if we're losing. He never looks like scoring but always runs about a lot and gives his all. He just doesn't seem up to this level but he is fairly young so could prove me wrong over time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Manwë 3,924 Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 Rotherham are on the verge of collapse. They don't know it yet however, but tomorrow will be the end of their club, their way of life, even their town. Tomorrow, Sheffield Wednesday will give Rotherham a lesson that they could never learn from, because they'll be so distraught from the teachings. Lesson #1 - outright destruction of a football team. We are going to teach Rotherham a thing or two about football, but it will be a costly bloodbath that Rotherham have no chance of winning. There'll be players that will literally leave Hillsborough without a head. The lucky few will be scarred for life. The luckiest will be those who can't attend. Wednesday have asked for Moore, Rotherham will be begging for No Moore. Rotherham, it's over for you. Tomorrow you meet your executioner, write your final words, make your peace. Sheffield Wednesday 2 - Rotherham 1. Boom! 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites
