What's more is that Moore had just subbed him on for Rhodes, who was (by all accounts) Wednesday's best player on the pitch.
It's almost good news* that Brum have won. I mean, if they get a 'new gaffer bounce', Wednesday would have gone down regardless. At least this way you wouldn't have the pain of knowing that being a little less shite would've kept you up. *for Wednesday, anyway. Awful news for Rov'rum. If Brum don't get the bounce, I still think they have a decent shot.
We still have to play Coventry and Birmingham so there's a long way to go in the season yet. I think you are goners though for the simple fact that you don't score enough goals. We could have had a few against Watford yesterday it's just our defending was ****.
Reading were poor tonight and Birmingham have a tough set of fixtures coming up, if you were to win your next two games the table might look a lot better.
Yeah I just looked at your fixtures, Barnsley and Watford. You might be able to scrape something against Barnsley if they bottle the big derby day but Watford will be tough.
Well, at least two of our strikers scored... We're going down for sure. What's worse is I don't think we'll be good enough to stay in the promotion hunt in league 1.
It won't be the same squad. There's a ton of 'em out of contract at season's end. Many of them won't be kept.
Here's a Wednesday fun-fact: since Boxing Day of 2019, Wednesday have taken 56 points from 61 games. That's 0.91 points per game. And that's bad. You can't play a year-and-a-half of football at that level without a relegation in there somewhere. And here's another one: Wednesday have thrown away 25 point from leading positions this season. If Wednesday's position in the table was based solely upon their first halves, they'd be 12th. If you were to simply factor out all goals conceded in injury time, Wednesday would currently be in 21st place, three points clear of relegation. That's extraordinary. Can you say 'brittle'?
Rhodes scored with your only 2 shots on goal to lead 2-0, and you won 2-1. You're in the relegation zone by 6 points. After the break you go to second place Watford, who is the only club to win their last five games.
Barnsley had taken 28 points from their last 10 games going into today, and they came away with nothing ... so there's hope. Still, Watford are a site better than the Dingles. Normally, I'd say a draw would be an excellent result there, but we're nearing the point where draws are just not enough. A win there and Brum and Coventry will be getting nervous. Cracking set of results today for the South Yorkshire contingent of this year's relegation scrap.
For a brief moment, there, I was excited by the prospect of The Ramones having covered the Hot Chocolate hit* of 1975. Nice track, but mildly disappointing, considering that notion. *which, in retrospect, was actually titled 'You Sexy Thing', now that I think about it.
An article on Darren Purse and Wednesday's last relegaton into League 1 (2010). Former Sheffield Wednesday captain opens up on changing room problems during last relegation - YorkshireLive (examinerlive.co.uk) With (for those in the know) a bonus image of a despondent Beastie being consoled by an equally distraught Hollie. The camera always seems to find those two.
Ok. I've gone on about this app before, Footmob, but it is pretty neat. You can "bet", not really betting, who will win, and then there are several pages after that where you can bet on first goal, how total goals. As you can see I bet on Wednesday to win... No worries I would never really wager on SWFC.
And Birmingham get the winner v Swansea in the 91st minute. That should just about do it. Rotherham have both Coventry and Brum to come yet. They can't all lose. Wednesday are as good as down.
