Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2021 "Match day again, Sir" "Eh?!" "The Papa Johns Trophy" "So soon? We only played the last round the other week" "Oh no, this isn't round two ,Sir" "What in blazes do you mean this isn't round two? "This is the second group stage game" "Group stage!" "Yes, Sir Group stage" "Group stage!" "Um...yes, Sir" "Bloody group stage! It's not the European sodding Cup, Stubbs." "Well, neither is the European Cup, Sir" "Yes, but I mean to say, it's hardly an elite competition. I don't even want us in this competition. Why the hell has it got a group stage?" "Perhaps it's more like the Champions League than you think, Sir. Been tampered with to ensure the big clubs don't exit via a one off Cup upset. " "Oh, you mean they have to try and make sure the big names make it through to the next round?" "Indeed, Sir. You could say that Sheffield Wednesday are to this competition what Barcelona are to the Champions League" "One of the oldest and biggest clubs in it and a banker with the bookies you mean?" "No, Sir, I mean totally broke, unable to pay their players, struggling to find any genuine form and currently bottoming out" "Get Out!" Mansfield Town V Wednesday Tuesday 5th October 2021 7:00pm One Call Stadium. Wednesday have sold-out their ticket allocation for clash and will be backed by over 1,600 fans at the One Call Stadium. On the Owls' away following, Clough said: “That's absolutely brilliant. I know we've brought the kick-off forward to help them with the train times and everything getting back to Sheffield and I hope we can get a few of our own fans in as well." With Mansfield trying to pull away from a relegation trap door Clough has other priorities than this competition. Equally Darren Moore will be focussing on getting Wednesday back on track after a recent run of one win in their last five games. Both teams are expected to make a raft of changes. Though both must start 4 players from the previous weekends game in-line with competition rules. 7 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Manwë Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2021 Mansfield to be made to look like Boysfield by the end of the game. The word obliterated doesn't get used enough in the English language, but it'll be the only word spoken for weeks after tonight. It's over for them, the beginning of the end, there'll be more stags heads hanging in the homes of Sheffielders than are in wooden lodges in Colorado by the morning. This one is for Forestieri. This is for justice. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Stupid competition, could really do with not being in it. Saying that we should be capable of hammering these, especially with them playing the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I genuinely could not care less about tonight’s result.This is such a pointless tournament. The only benefit we will get from this is giving some fringe players a chance to sharpen up their match fitness. I’m hoping Wildsmith has a decent game as I think he needs to be pushing BPF for the number 1 jersey given the number of points he’s cost us in recent weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the size of our squad I think it's quite good we're in it, gives the backup players a good chance to experience competitive first team football. Yes 4 from the last game need to start but there's quite a few that will appreciate a quick chance at redemption after pretty abhorrent displays on Saturday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Difficult to be bothered about this one. I watched the last cup game, curious about the new players who would be playing. Not much to gain from this one, it's a waste of time competition and nothing new to see. I say that now, but come tea time and I realise there's nothing on TV tonight (as usual) I'll probably waste another tenner on ifollow. Hope we win, as I always do, but that's as far as my thoughts go this morning. Edited October 5, 2021 by striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hoping for several changes because the team that played Saturday would struggle against this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Has kick off time really been changed to help Wednesday fans get home by train afterwards. Mansfield is a bugger to get to by train as you change at Worksop normally as no direct line to Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
