Yet we have 0 threads a year saying let's copy what Dave Jones did. And the worst part about it is Right now we need exactly that He came in and simply let the players off the leash from ridiculous tactics and strategies that Megson had them doing and sent them out to just enjoy it and win games And they did Ohhhhhh how they did We SOARED We soared up the league and got promoted We need precisely that right now, not yelling at Barry Bannan or sending Liam Palmer for a run up the kop steps 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a goal scorer, danger from set pieces, Ben Marshall a genuine exciting winger. Semedo in the middle bullying teams. Thought it was a decent side to watch. Had three bad results mind, Jones took us over the line. But Antonio played a big part in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last game in charge is one of my favourite ever days supporting Sheffield Wednesday. But yeah, he was crap etc etc. If that suits your narrative. Had us third in the league when sacked. I don’t give two craps how we play as long as we’re up there competing. We were under Megson. Winning games > playing good football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyt but you are pillorying Moore for his style of play - the 'Football' under Megson was dire and resulted in some really sad days being a Wednesdayite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Megson is the only time ive known the opposing fans saying "we hate Sheffield Wednesday they bully teams"......that is exactly what is needed, its all well and good playing lovely free flowing fancy football from the back , but we are just not good enough to do that and this league many teams won't allow it.Get some big strong athletic lads in and lets be the bullies of this league and get us up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 27 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: That's what Darren Moore's getting As I’ve said in one of the other threads, he’s 32 games into his time here, 18 of which came this season. Has he had a good spell yet, has he had two convincing wins back to back? 32 games is one hell of bad spell, so is 18 if you want to put a positive spin on it. Regardless, lack of results isn’t ultimately what’s bringing about discontent in Moore. It’s the lack of identity in all areas of the pitch that is causing great concern. One thing Megson definitely brought was identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying Megson’s football was dire is opinion not fact. Comparing it to Jos, again is opinion. What is a fact is we’ll never know if Megson would’ve got us up. His record at the time was definitely promotion form. He only managed Antonio for 1 game, his last one, a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people massively downplay the affect losing Marshall at that point in the season had on us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love these threads where people put their rose tinted glasses on and try to convince others that Megson's final season was a glorious entertainment filled football festival It was HORRIFIC eye bleeding, negative, dour, defensive horror show And he got sacked Dave Jones comes in, says to the players "forget all those negative tactics you were forced to play, just go out, enjoy, attack, score and win" And they did We got promoted Because we (rightly) SACKED Megson 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
