I felt similar until I spent some time with him on a charity fundraising weekend, the week we sacked Stuart Gray. He was a top bloke. Very friendly, happy to chat football and anything else and was gutted for Gray. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This is the sort of reality check, kick in the teeth game that League 1 might give us. Hope we are fully on it again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Expect a few changes tonight as minutes shared around to gain match fitness and preserve others energy levels. No disrespect intended, but these are the games we should win in this league, If we are to challenge at the top end. Not an easy game by any means and the type of game the the Wednesday team of the last couple of seasons would struggle against, potentially lose. It's now we need to show our quality and some consistency on the pitch. Travelled up to Sheffield last night, ready for this game, my first of the season, cant wait. 1-0 Wednesday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsHall Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Will be closely listening for any cod CM Le Petomane-type dirty distraction tricks. A early goal would be ideal. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what our new left-footed Gibson looks like with Iorfa. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Dom’s achilles rested instead. could have gibson and Dunkley go in, quite a lot of change for a settled back line though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOWL Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Great thread as always thank you. C'mon you Wednesday boys and give us another win tonight. We are the one and only astonishingly, marvellous, unbelievable and unrivalled Mighty Sheffield Wednesday. Nowt else matters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Interesting to see Harrison Biggins following in his Dad’s footsteps. Wayne was a decent player, surprised he wasn’t picked up by Wednesday around same time as Sterland and Williamson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir" "Not at all! There'll be no tin-pot comments from me! These clubs are where they are on merit. Or in our case , lack of it! Anyway, what do we know about them?" "We know they have reformed a lot" "Reformed?" "They started off as Fleetwood in 1908" "Yes..." "Then in 1928 they became Fleetwood Windsor Villa" "They should have kept that one!" "They were then Fleetwood Town" "Right ho, lets crack on" "I haven't finished, Sir. They then , eventually, settled on Fleetwood Wanderers" "Hang on, I thought they were Fleetwood Town again?!"

"Sorry. Sorry." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday -V- Fleetwood Town Hillsborough Kick off: 745pm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday Owls Boss Darren Moore may make changes to the side which beat Doncaster on Saturday. The owls have another derby game on Saturday against Rotherham and the Owls supremo may rest players with the games now coming thick and fast and many of his players arriving at the club with no pre-season to speak of. Lee Gregory maybe given some game time to sharpen up, and Jaden Brown is pushing for a recall after a good cameo against Rovers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fleetwood Town Fleetwood manager Simon Grayson has a relatively small squad to pick from and says he is pleased with their general play. The only possible change on the cards is Jay Matete coming in for Sheffield born Harrison Biggins. The Cod Army are still looking for their first win of the season. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sheffield born Harrison Biggins".

thewookieisdown Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 My first visit to Hillsborough since (100% correctly) leaving at about 3.30pm against Derby, Feb 2020. A few weeks after that, I took the option to take my ST refund as a credit at the ticket office. To my absolute astonishment, when I went online to book tickets on Sunday, the credit was there waiting for me. So: free tickets. I mean, obviously not free tickets; but you know what I mean. I even took out a membership. V much at a stage where I'd struggle to recall even names of new recruits, let alone position, origin, age, etc. But I am looking forward to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This is the type of game it’s always hard for players to get in the right mindset for. But the Cod Army will be no pushovers and have been in this division and doing Ok for a good few years. We do have the players to beat them but I’d still be starting with the ‘must not lose’ mentality for the first 60mins and then using some quality off the bench to try to secure the three points. Don’t get me wrong, I love all out attack but it’s still very early days with the squad and I’d rather be moaning about a 0-0 than a loss! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 A few calls for personnel changes. Understandable, but do we risk disrupting, and possibly dropping points as a consequence, when coming up against a team we expect / need to beat? For me, the keeper, back four, and Bannan/Adeniran are must starts. Wing and the front three could be rested. We need to avoid dropping stupid points and get off to a solid start, so strongest team plays for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Henderson Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It's all very exciting, new teams, new civilizations, it's time to boldly go again. Not sure I like the idea of resting players though, firstly Fleetwood aren't necessarily going to be a pushover, and secondly we've only played three matches so they're not even settled in yet. But frankly I don't care as long as we get another result, DM's got his. Come on Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
