Sheff Weds vs Saints - Feb 28th - 15:00

[Mr Saints]

This must be how teams felt in the lead up to playing us last season!

[Dman]

Should be a game in which we dominate possession and can play a slighlty more attacking side, whilst giving a bit of a rest the starters who've played consistently for the past few weeks.. i.e Bree and Downes.

Also the only keeper to save an MLT penalty in a league match.

Hence Crossley Place, named in his honour, next to Le Tissier Court just off Milton Road where the Dell used to be. 

But everyone probably knew that

More nervous about this game than the QPR match. We have a habit of being the gift that keeps giving on. We have to start fast and hit them hard. Longer it it says nil nil the more we will get edgy and the more confidence it will be give them.

I watched a fair bit of the game v Norwich, was surprised to hear their keeper, Dieng, is an emergency loan as thought he was very good keeping Wednesday in the game, Norwich also wasted quite a few chances. Guess most of their players know this is an audition to get a move in the summer. 

I do sympathise with Wednesday fans, must be tough turning up each week seeing another defeat with no goals to cheer, used to think of them as our sister club in the 90s where we both had Sanderson as a sponsor,  a few of their legends also starred for us, David Hirst, Gordon Watson, Carlton Palmer, Chris Woods spring to mind

Him and David Hirst are lethal in that 4-4-2. Big Ron’s really got them organised

Chris Waddle and Andy Sinton will enjoy taking on Manning

They probably would. How old are they now ?

I feel the same way re their fans, their fall and relegation isn’t really due to football and the team, but the previous dickhead owner. I’d like to think we don’t have to go through the singing “going down, going down” sort of tedium on Saturday but it’s probably an obligatory from the songbook for some of the saps. 
 

Can’t say I felt too much for them in the 90’s though, always seemed a bogey team.

We should win comfortably, however this team has some heart in it despite everything it’s been through. It will not be a pushover and if our players are complacent / relaxed about the fixture, we’ll lose.
