room0035 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 As has been said before if you are paying the top prices in the division you expect to be challenging near the top. If not then drop the prices and in turn, it drops the expectations. But when the chairman comes out and says the goal is promotion every season, then can you really fault the fans. He is the reason the team is made of kids, free agents and unfit loan players because of his mismanagement of the football club £25-30 to watch a team struggling at the wrong end of division 3 is going to lead to some very low crowds, after the novilty of the fans in the stands very quickly wears off. For me get as many in, as cheap as possible and get an atmosphere back in the stadium instead of it sounding like an empty Morge. With less than 10,000 because that's where is very quickly going.

TINGLE75 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It's so tough to know what to expect. Part of me wants some of our youngsters to come through but they have to be ready and not just a needs must situation. I am also worried that the club will be in such a massive self inflicted hole that our season falls apart pretty badly. Important and telling few weeks coming up?

Agree 100% Youngsters should be blooded when they are ready not to shore up a depleted squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a couple of the contracted players could end up leaving. As for bringing players in we are going to get the dregs of what free transfers are left. We obviously don’t have a penny to spend and our reputation of not paying wages isn’t going to attract anyone. Call me pessimistic but I think finishing in mid table would be a good result. It would be a terrific result and I’d give Moore the keys to Sheffield if he managed to guide us to mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 After the last 18 months I am not that worried if the side is crap for the fist game. Think first match back will be a time of celebration that life is getting back to normal. Riverside Chippy, Shakey, Hillsborough - I have missed you.

asteener1867 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 9 hours ago, @owlstalk said: So pre-season training starts this week Our squad is down to bare bones having been relegated, a load of contracts expire on us, and players leaving. Reputationally (not paying players etc) it's going to be extremely difficult if not impossible to sign quality ambitious fit players which leaves us in the situation where we are probably fielding youngsters from the academy So the simple question is how many of our fans are ready for this? How many of our fans will give the youngsters the time, space and opportunity to actually make mistakes and learn? And which of our fans will just write them off after a couple of games as 'crap', and slate them to other Wednesday fans who are trying to support them and get behind them? And how many of our fans are actually aware of the situation this club is in and what the calibre of players will be in our team next season? Seems to me some more than others are going to be absolutely shocked to the core when our teamsheet is named for the first game What do you reckon? Fans have to step up Neil mate...I can play right back....I played it in the Sheffield nomads league (Mainly on the left)...I presume there are a few others that can fill in....as I can see right back could be a problem....

Stu Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Seriously I couldn't give a fk about the football! Just being able to go, have a pint or 2 the craic with the mates you've missed will suffice for at least a season for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smackavolley Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 All a youngster has to do for me, if thrown in the deep end, is give it 100%. We can’t ask for more than that. The number of losers here slagging some of them off before a ball is kicked is disappointing. Real classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 This is Sheffield Wednesday we are talking about sadly. Most games in the last 20 years I have been surrounded by beer gutted Sanderson top wearers bemoaning that Adthe Nuhiu isn’t ‘ hirsty’ or any of the other early 90’s heroes who managed to beat a grand total of spora Luxembourg in their European exploits. as ever I will commit to poke such fans in the eye with a plastic fork if they wibble on about such nonsense when they let them back into the ground 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I’m looking forward to seeing a team give 100% regardless of their ability, that’s all I’m asking for. After the last few season of players not giving more than 10% effort every game, that’s all I want. Luckily they have gone so can’t pass on the bug to the new ones and the young ones. Particularly looking forward to seeing some youth come through, they will need longer contracts because they will be the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbelly Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I’ll greet the new season with the same optimism I greet every season and whilst the names on the team sheet may change, my support of them never wavers. We have our ups and downs and more lately it’s been tough being a Wednesday supporter, but let’s face it - we don’t support Wednesday for the glory. So if it’s a team of kids and no-hopers first game of the season we must remember they represent us, and as long as they give their all we must reciprocate by giving our all in support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
