Lucas 1,143 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) That Sheffield derby should be an absolute belter. Friday night, under the lights, at an old ground like Bramall Lane, cold snap in the air, two teams going hammer and tong at one another, all the makings of a proper Sheffield derby. I'm having some of that. The game at Hillsborough was terrific. I also think it's a brilliant exclusive for Premier League fans to sit and watch as a reminder to what proper atmosphere's should be like. It's sad in some ways that this game is not at PL level but Brighton v Bournemouth is. C'est la vie. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 5,280 Posted January 12, 2018 steel city derby tonight! Expecting a Blades win but can't imagine it'll be easy. Slight dip in form recently and home side will want to get back in to the play-offs. Sheff Weds have been seriously under-performing this season. First game in charge for Owls' new manager Jos Luhukay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roversgirl 36 Posted January 12, 2018 Huge game for us at home to 2nd place Shrewsbury tomorrow. We have dropped a few points lately despite staying unbeaten. On paper we should be comfortably beating them but they are just having one of those seasons where everything is going their way. We're struggling with injuries at the moment in midfield with Evans, Whittingham, Antonsson, Chapman and Gladwin all injured meaning one of two youngsters will partner Smallwood in central midfield unless Mowbray plays Bennett in the middle but then we are struggling for wide men. I'd also go with Graham upfront with Dack playing off him. The back 4 and goalkeeper is really settled though which is a positive and goals are coming from all areas of the pitch. I'd go for - Raya Nyambe Mulgrew Downing Williams Bennett Tomlinson Smallwood Conway Dack Graham Subs: Leutwiler, Caddis, Wharton, Travis, Armstrong, Nuttall, Samuel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He then went to Blackpool when they were on the slide then come back to Orient, where his already poor form got poorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandoEFC 2,567 Posted January 12, 2018 Yeah he looked class when he was younger and had a couple of good loan spells but never broke into the first team. Wouldn't be surprised to see him eventually back in the Premier League at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 5,280 Posted January 12, 2018 quite a poor game overall. Atmosphere died down as the game died down too. Quality on show was not that watchable. New Owls boss set up well to get a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny 815 Posted January 13, 2018 We're 6 points off of Sheffield United (6th) with a game in hand, our next three games include Bolton, Reading and Norwich. If we have promotion ambitions then we need to be taking at least 7 points from those games, I'll be disappointed if Bolton get anything at Griffin Park as we should really be running them all over the place with the quality we have.

The first fixture at Hillsborough was game of the season so far, for the Championship, so the bar was set extremely high. Disappointing game for us, now of course, the superior sheffield side again, Wednesday the underdogs.. and to be fair to them, they were well drilled and organised defensively, they made it a dull affair but a shrewd move from their new coach.

Bluebird Hewitt 415 Posted January 13, 2018 Cracking response, albeit against a very poor team. Unless Coleman pulls off a couple of quality signings, Sunderland are down. They didn't test Etheridge at all and that was with Jazz Richards and Paterson in midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas 1,143 Posted January 13, 2018 I have to hand it to our fans. Awful two weeks, stupid red card that cost us today despite a very good performance and they are there taking up the whole bottom tier of the side stand today at Ipswich. Unjustified result today for the team on the back of one player's lack of self discipline. Unless we strengthen this month, we will evaporate out of the playoff picture just like last season and that was hard enough to take. Spend some money Radrizzani. You can't sell Wood for £15m and think it will be ok. We need a striker. A proven one. Not some YouTube prodigy. End of story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny 815 Posted January 14, 2018 Good win and now 4 wins out of 5 in the league. Conflicting manager reports, our gaffer says we never looked like conceding and theirs says we were lucky. Looking forward to seeing the highlights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
