Barnsley - V - Wednesday OMDT


Recommended Posts

Nothing to come today, expect another embarrassing afternoon.

 

Never heard of most of their team, but they will run and run all game, full of energy, while our players waddle about (not in a good Chris waddle way) hardly breaking sweat.

 

The only saving grace is that they play a ridiculously high line, so opportunity for Windass and Harris, or Green. 

 

Expect Moore to put out an experienced team, similar to Huddersfield. However, I wish he was braver, I know he has no options, but Barnsley will again show today that you don't need to be a 'name' to play football. 

 

Midfield was non existent on wednesday, Shaw, Hunt, Brown couldn't do a lot worse if any were to start. 

 

3-1 Barnsley

Let's get behind the Wednesday today like never before and forget,just for a little while,the suits in the Boardroom trashing our heritage. They don't deserve our loyalty but these magical four words are all we have left.....

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. It means more to us than most will ever understand and we must preserve our history and protect our destination.

We are the Mighty Sheffield Wednesday and we will never give up our cause.

Nowt else matters.

Coffee and matchday thread, just how I want my Saturday mornings!

 

And then later on some poor excuses for footballers are going to look bad in our beloved Wednesday shirts... as usual this season. Not going to bother watching as Barnsley tear us a new one.

Westwood said there are are players like him who are trying really hard. The hint was that there are players who aren't. 

As we are the team who ends runs by opposition then today will be the day that the Barnsley train runs off the rails. 

Could it be the start of a "Barnsley are falling apart again" time? Some of our local teams have done this before. 

Have faith. Or Hope. 

Or Blind Belief. 

Our bad run has to end sometime. Doesn't it? 

Fear the worst and anything better will be a bonus.

Well the old lass is primed up and ready to go for today's session, splashed out on some proper viagra that cheap Chinese crap only lasted 45 minutes so hopefully we'll get a full 90 minutes today. 

 

Come on you foookers show some fight.

Great OMDT, sums up the situation just perfectly.

 

I am having a hard time figuring out what will happen today. We know that we may surprise on any day but recently it's been going worse and the slight glimmers of hope have been fading fast. Just hoping that Rhodes will keep his place and play a full 90 mins for a change.

"Good evening ,Stubbs. Here, I say, what the hell do you think you're doing, that's my chair! Those are my best cigars!"

 

"Forget about it Sir. There's no point. We're not bothering tonight."

 

"I beg your pardon!?"

 

"I said we're not bothering tonight. This place is sinking fast. No point risking getting injured in any last minute story at this stage and risking a move to another fictional message-board town."

 

"But Stubbs!"

 

"No Sir, we can't risk it. We have our careers to think about. The writers might have had a big storyline planned for tonight for all we know. One where I fall through the attic roof and break both legs! We can't risk it. Could throw any potential Bosman right out of the window."

 

"But we have to do something. We're still contracted to Owlstalk. We're....we're obliged. We have to do a Matchday thread. It's what we're here for!"

 

"We're obliged to be here ,Sir. Doesn't mean we have to try a leg."

 

"Stubbs!"

 

"Well if we have to be seen to be doing something.. then we'll just go through the motions then."

 

"Go through the motions?!  I'd have thought better of you"

 

"Really ;why risk it?"

 

"Professional pride!"

 

"Really, Sir?!"

 

"Yes, absolutely.  Besides which of course, I've got a new deal for next year"

 

"What!"

 

"Yes"

 

"What the hell! Sir...why haven't I been offered one!"

 

"Under performing. You've been part of the systematic failure of the last few years"

 

"What about you, you've been part of the failure too?! And I've been doing all the dirty work!"

 

"Mr Hargreaves considers me one of the family"

 

"What about me!"

 

"Yes, but you're not a fan favourite really. I mean they're hardly likely to be on his back if you leave."

 

"Oh, well that's nice isn't it, Sir, I mean-"

 

"Stubbs, what's that over there?!"

 

"That appears to be a burglar making away with the family jewels ,Sir"

 

"Stop him Stubbs!  Stop him! Why are you strolling....get after him....tackle him, why don't you tackle him!? Tackle him!"

Wednesday

Mar 20, 2021

Kick Off : 3pm

Oakwell Stadium

 

---- image.png.50c474c8c22ee628125831d2a10aec86.png ----

 

  • Playoff hopefuls Barnsley will host doomed  Wednesday in the Championship on Saturday afternoon looking to consolidate their place inside the top six, and to be honest, will still be fancying their chances of chasing down Watford in second. Especially with us next on the menu like a well done sucking being tossed in a wolfs den.

 

 

  • The two teams head into this fixture at opposite ends of the form table, with the Tykes accumulating 22 points from their last eight league matches, in stark contrast to just the solitary point picked up by the Owls in the same period.

  • Valerien Ismael has worked wonders with Barnsley since his arrival in October, winning 19 of his 30 Championship matches. Not just that, but by doing it playing a direct, quick paced brand of attacking football. Some people don't like the "up and at 'em" approach. Not sophisticated enough. Well balls to sophistication.  I'd love to see a bit of it. The thing is though. Barnsley have some "up and at em" players to implement it with at Oakwell don't they...

 

  • Darren Moore  Must wake in the morning and wonder what the absolute hell he was thinking coming here. Or maybe not. They all do it don't they,  they- Come here to this clusterfeck. The temptation is too much - The dream of being the one to turn it around.  They're like a young slip of a girl. All the aunts tell them to stay away from the bad boy. But they don't. No, they all think they can come in and be the one to get him on the straight and narrow. But this club....no...this club is a proper bad boy, leaping from the back of one Waltzer to another with a tooth pick between it's teeth while being chased by the Constabulary with a warrant for murder.

Barnsley will pick some young fast players brought in to fit their blue print.

It might be this team. It might not. But whoever it is, they will set up this way and come tearing at us like a greyhound from the traps.

Darren Moore will have to pick some players too. He might put some of them in their best positions. Or he might not. There's no formation that actually suits the whole group as they are just footballers who have been thrown together randomly.

 

Some look better 3-5-2  

Some look better 4-4-2.

Some look better 4-3-3.

 

Problem is, because of the randomness of our transfer policy. 

 

Some look worse 3-5-2  

Some look worse 4-4-2.

Some look worse 4-3-3.

 

So Darrens just got to pick some and put them in the formation where the fewest number look like fish out of water. i'm not sure what that formation is. 

Neither is he. Not blaming him for that because no one knows. Because...I don't actually think there is one.

 

So I don't know really what we'll look like tomorrow or how we'll line up.

But based on the season as a whole probably something like this

UTO

 

I was actually listening to something the other day, and some pundit said the only way to do anything against Barnsley is to miss out their midfield and attack with their high press and just play route-one over the top right in behind them and turn them around.

Not pretty, but the only effective way to play against them, especially if you're a struggling team. Derby did it to decent effect I've heard. 

 

We have gone long a lot this season. Usually out of play or onto the oppositon centre halfs head. But  maybe...just maybe after all that route one practise...

and if Rhodes can keep doing those wedge passes like his did for Windass the other day...

 

No, no, I'm doing that hope thing again.

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

 

 

Another great analogy your Lordship. Too depressed to add anything else. UTO

It could go either way today. Either a simple 2-0 loss or a royal pasting of 6 goals plus. 
Barnsley will be so up for this not because of who we are but because they have their eyes on the prize. 
I hope they get to the playoff final and then get pipped to the post. 
Then they will know how it feels!
