    Yep.

    I was monitoring and left the room after we went up 1 nil and nearly sh*it meself when i came back in a few minutes later and it was even again. lol.

    Jos has got a tough job ahead of himself. We've managed several draws* and a win or two with only one loss since he's taken over, I think. He's still got some sorting out to do and some injuries to overcome.

    I wonder if FF will ever play for us again?

    Here is our upcoming week:

    Because Fox Sports 1 has NASCAR, your FA Cup game won't be on TV. It will be delayed on Fox Soccer Plus at 4:30 P.M. (3:30 P.M. your time).

    As QPR Kevin H pointed out, I missed that your FA Cup game will be live on Fox Sports 1 at 7:30 A.M. (6:30 A.M. your time).

    Stolen this from owlstalk:

    "P7 W2 D4 L1 F7 A5

    That is the record under Jos.


    Yes one of the matches was against a League 2 side but you can only beat what is put in front of you. I assume the same people that say that match can’t be counted will say the same should we lose to a PL team on Saturday?


    What Jos has clearly done is get us organised defensively, in a new system, very quickly.


    The Birmingham game was shambolic but that was due to individual errors from arguably our best two performers since Jos took over. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.



    That aside, we’ve looked solid.



    Maybe a little fortunate against Boro and Barnsley. Certainly unfortunate against Cardiff. Both victories were deserved.


    As soon as Lees is fit, I am sure Jos will feel more able to attack teams with intent.


    Do I think Jos will be a success?


    I have no idea whatsoever. Nobody could possibly tell after those 7 matches.


    What I do know is that with the defenders he’s had available and bearing in mind he’s completely changed our formation, his start has been solid if unspectacular.


    Some of the absolute garbage I’ve heard from fellow Wednesdayites, writing him off already is the biggest load of tripe I’ve ever heard.


    I thought the atmosphere against Birmingham was embarrassing. Those few who sarcastically cheered Wildsmith when he made a save (after Just collecting the Player of the Month award) should hang their heads in shame.


    I could have understood if it was a heartless capitulation but it was two genuine players making two genuine mistakes.


    I knew at half time last week that we’d see what character there was in the dressing room. 3-0 down and a man down. I thought the whole team showed real guts in the second half.


    Keep up with the negative vitriolic atmosphere experienced against Birmingham and we all know what will happen.


    We now have a team with several young lads from our academy in the 18. We have a centre half and a centre midfielder that are completely new to the league and the country.


    They need our support.


    Get behind them over the next few weeks and you never know they might surprise us.


    Its up to each fan to make a conscious choice."

    I like it.

    I want Aston Villa to be promoted, so I'm happy you beat Derby County.

    nice goals from Joao.

    didn't realize that Tom Huddlestone had gone back to Derby. didn't realize that David Nugent was still playing football.

    ... though it appears he has ten goals already this season, so I guess I just haven't been paying proper attention.

    Nobody scored, so you'll have a replay at Swansea. Both teams had 4 shots on goal.

    I always get a kick out of my friends here in the states when they get to see us play on the telly.

    Most of them are fans of teams in the Prem (Man U, Man Shitty, 'Pool, Chelskie) and are shocked out how bad the level of play is in the Championship.

    I almost always chuckle and reply, "Yeah, we're actually playing pretty well for us...".



    They usually comment on how good our keeper is though. ;)

    @pookspur is the one exception. He knows what to expect and when to be pleasantly surprised. :)

    True story.

    if they're shocked at the level of the championship play, it's a good thing they weren't watching it 10-15 years ago. it's sooo much better than it used to be.

    You led 1-0 and 2-1 but lost 4-2 with the winning goal in the 87th minute and an insurance goal in the 90+3rd minute.

    didn't see it, but by all accounts (that I've read, anyway), Wednesday were very hard done by that scoreline. First half Wednesday were as good as they've been all year, and really took it to them. Some quite dodgy decisions from the ref (this coming from highly subjective viewers, of course) and very hard luck in the end.

    again, I didn't see it, but having seen the result, I expected to find loads of 'get ready for a relegation scrap'-type responses. I've seen nothing of the sort.

    Knee injury requiring surgery.
