Newcastle vs Sheffield Wednesday

[Perkino]

CH will have a massive chart on his office wall that shows 90 points and the games we expect to pick them up in and the results that will be a bonus. I'm certain that having played Newcastle, Sheff Wed, Reading, Derby & Birmingham away during the first half of the season that he would've been delighted to have got to half way with 45 points. So to be here with a possible 51 is impressive.

90 should get us up but to be top dogs and take the trophy would forever be in our history

 

[Mackenzie]

Should have been.

That's a shame.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Should have been.

Not for me Clive. Yellow all day.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Wednesday have been the better side, from what I've seen. They've chased everything down, won the fifty-fifty balls (and committed a fair few fouls too), and their passing has been more incisive. Newcastle have been largely running up blind alleys.

Six minutes added time for the home side to fashion something. Funny, as I'd have expected a bigger roar from the home fans when that board went up. It's almost as though they've given up.

 

[fat old seagull]

I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Don't think my mind can cope with me supporting Massive!

They've shown the rest of the division how to play against Newcastle.

Presume Blackburn, Huddersfield and one other (I forget who) did the same

Not sure a Wednesday win is a great result in the grand scheme of things but it does give the lads extra motivation for tomorrow's game knowing if we win we'll go top...

Possibly Huddersfield, a really fit team who press.

Kick down hill second half. Newcastle always prefer to do. Big slope end to end

 

[perseus]

The trick to get out of the Championship is to win the home games!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"a trickle of home fans leaving", says the commentator, as vast swathes of grey seats start to appear*








*Note to Return of the Rev: I am well aware the same happens at the Amex...that's kind of the point

What you mean nobody pointlessly ran at their 'keeper.

 

[Icy Gull]

IF we win tomorrow, this could be a great result and with Shelvey out for a while it might cause a loss of confidence and a wobble for the Toon?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

 

[swindonseagull]

That will do nicely

Wednesday have also missed a hatful of chances. All very encouraging from both sides. Well, as much as can be gleaned from one game that is.

Discalimers:

No Shelvey for the champions elect.

No Hooper for Massive.

 

[Mackenzie]

Advantage us (maybe).
