Crewe Alexandra v Sheffield Wednesday OFFICIAL MATCH DAY THREAD

[Ash77]

Happy with that bar wing who is awful, kamberi gone off so pato upfront but need windass on for wing asap as no pace upfront, NML for hunt after

[parkfieldowl14]

Thank god Corbeanu is starting.Come on Wednesday.

Last time I woke up on a matchday this optimistic, we played Cambridge, so not counting my chickens. 

 

That said, today's team is more than capable of three points, despite Crewe picking up a couple of wins in league and cup lately. 

 

Team is ok, considering what we have available. If Windass is fit enough for the bench I'd have started him maybe, but if he needs nursing back in, so be it as there is lots of football still to be played this month 

 

Pleased to see Corbeanu start and interested to have another look at Mendez-Laing if he get opportunity today. 

 

Although it's the type of banana skin Wednesday rarely avoid, think we will win today. As long as we match them for effort and play with a decent tempo....0-2 Wednesday

Must be horrible being the opposition manager. I watch us every week and not sure if patto will be CH or CF, yet alone how the rest will line up

WTF is Windass not starting? So irritating!

 

Yep not as if he doesnt need to be eased back into the team.

 

 

[Plonk]

And not a single defender on the bench.

[ashamanic]

Well, at least there is a central defender playing today. To start the season with four, and then bring one back from loan, and to have all five unavailable as happened midweek is unfortunate to say the least.

I have to think that Moore doesn't trust Corneanu defensively, which is why he is back today and was out midweek, but who knows

Big game for Wing. I feel he’s going to get the next 3 games in Luongo’s absence. It might not stop him being recalled in January though?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too Jim

[beswetherick]

Windass for Wing is the only change I’d

make to that. Good to see Brennan and Corbeanu back

Spot on. However, if Crewe start on the front foot from the off and really pins us back, We could be in for a Long Afternoon. But I’m quietly confident that we’ll get the 3 points come 5pm

Paterson will be moved back if needed Id imagine.

Wing

 

Outside of that, pretty solid.

 

What on earth has happened to Dunkley btw? 

 

Long term injury?

Hopefully Wing can finally prove he’s actually a footballer 

Flipper feet is never going to prove that.

Dunkley and Hutch back in training apparently

[Nero]

Dont think Moore had many choices to make here. No complaints on the line up from me.

 

Corbeanu for Shodipo (who fought hard on Tuesday) might give us more threat. Pato for Kamberi who did v little last two games.

Wing for Massimo is the right call but also the big worry.

 

Think Wing is so frustrated at his own performances that he might eventually burst into tears on the pitch. Thus joining me watching him.

[SiJ]

Spoke to a Boro fan earlier today.

 

Old Wingy came up.

 

According to the Boro fan, Wing can be often useless, then bag a worldie.

 

Pointed out we'd had the useless bit, but were awaiting the worldie.

DM Talking Points 21 hour ago:  With Chey for example, he is back in training and we are monitoring him closely but maybe tomorrow will be too soon for him
