Sheffield Wednesday

[kcscsupporter]

the defense is so awful, and for laws to have gone the entire summer without addressing it is ludicrous. we need a strong and mobile centerback, and a good, organizing keeper.

if we can bring in a couple squad-changing loan signings, we can bounce back from this horrid start. it's not like we're much worse off at this point than we were last year. still, at least we're not in league 1 ... leeds.

Better turn it around quick or we'll be passing you on our way up this season.
Don't forget we are only on loan to League One, we should come straight back up when we get our fifteen points back from the FL, or even if we don't. I think Wednesday have failed to replace the sold players, and it falls to the management to get them to January till they can get people in, and still be in a decent league position.

thank god! 1-0 over hull. jeffers finally gets off the mark and we actually have a clean sheet. can we keep kavanagh for the rest of the season... please?

The relief at Hillsborough must be enormous. Sounds like the fans were right behind them against Hull. Makes a change to hear that after so many defeats for a club. Wonder what the worse ever start to a league campaign has been ?

Things are looking up since we last saw a post here.

5-0 against Southampton was a tasty result and we're well clear of the bottom.

It's sounding more like this is the team that was supposed to challenge for (ssh!) a top-six spot. Me, I'll settle for not stinking the league out.

was at hillsborough for the soton thrashing. good atmosphere in the grounds, as well as at the pub (despite seeing sheff utd get the late win in the championship's late match).

"stand up if you love wednesday", rather than "stand up if you hate the blades" for the first time in awhile. the wednesday fans i know are definitely up.

So Dave Allen's gone. Glad to see the back of him, but I'm nervous about what he might do on his way.

If he demands his money back he'll probably put us in administration, which would make things kind of dicey. Maybe still worth it!

just heard myself. i can't help but be excited, but knowing da, he's so unprofessional that he's probably going to call on his loans just to spite the swfc fans.

You don't want admin mate....that 10 point deduction would be a killer. After you've done so well to make a come back from L1 & a dodgy start this season.

I agree, though in our case it was necessary and has done the club the world of good, despite the 15 point deduction.

I thought Dave Allen was a really talented comedian and I was sad to see he passed last year, probably one of the funniest Irish comics of all time...maybe yours is a different Dave Allen, yeah? Sorry, 'bout that.

I'll get ya yer coat.

A couple of years ago somebody on the Newcastle United board made a post about 'Freddy'.

That board had never been so busy, as the Freddy Adu fans rushed over to see what the latest news was. Alas, it was only another snarky comment about Freddy Shepherd, NUFC's chairman at the time. A few days of amusing commentary followed...

hmmmm. not really sure how to respond to that . . .

It's the big one this weekend - Wednesday take on the old enemy, United.

Pleased with the Wallwork signing, he's the sort of aggressive midfielder our team has been crying out for since the days of Sheridan - Whelan's more of a playmaker than a hardman.

Slight doubts as whether the game will actually go ahead due to weather conditions but I'm pretty sure it will. Fingers crossed.

it looks much more likely now that they've finally covered up the pitch.

i've never been a big fan of bacon, but i might have to cook some up saturday morning.:p

and welcome to the boards, tlp.

Another game postponed. FFS, sort it out!

Well, it wasn't just Wednesday. There were about 6 matches off due to frozen pitches yesterday. All across the north.

The groundskeepers had apparently been running the undersoil heaters since Sunday, but they couldn't keep up.

b. (glad to be in California, where it's raining but not freezing.)

yeah, and as i understand it, there's a few extra inches of turf that the heater has to get to because they laid the new pitch directly over the old one last summer... because of time constraints.
