Could do with them starting to beat some of the top 6. They aren't going to catch us now so would be handy for them to take points off team that can. I'm more worried about Orient than Sheffield Wens!!

3 points from 27 available since going 2nd with a 6-2 win over Bristol Rovers. What the devil has happened? Beating the top 6 would seem unlikely.

No wish to bounce this thread, but after all the stick these people were dishing out to Brighton in January (!!) this did make me smile:

"If someone offered me a season of transition now and retaining our status in this league I'd take it. As I think its the best were going to get, tonight showed that we were pretty much able to hold together (without creating) but one mishap caused us to implode."

Well they did take a point of off Charlton about 4 weeks ago, which is now looking like a very handy result for us.

Indeed. It's all a bit odd up there. They do have a decent squad though so i'm hoping that Megson can turn it round for our sake!

Lets hope they can string a few results together now against the top teams, if they still have to play any, except of course at Withdean.

In league 1 its not how big you are, its how good you are.

Let's hope they sort themselves out soon.

Ouch - that could push them towards relegation.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Just to clarify, those aren't Wednesday's next 4 fixtures. I think Hans Kraay (the other one) was rather making the point that we could do with them taking points off the teams around us, once & if their form starts to improve. Although looking at the dates, they are rapidly approaching, and could well see them flirting with the relegation zone in the coming weeks! So actually, ignore what I've just said.

Great isn't it? Either they sort themselves out and take points off some of our challengers, or they don't and find themselves on the edge of division 4.

I don't like Sheffield Wednesday so this is all very pleasing.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I'd quite like them to face relegation. Certainly one in the eye for Mandaric, but, as stated, they can do us a big favour in taking some points off promotion rivals.

In league 1 its not how big you are, its how good you are.

this is obviously true, but from what we've seen in recent years these "BIG" clubs do struggle to get out:

Leeds - took their time getting
Scumhampton - taking their time, even without the points deduction last season they still would've made only the play-offs or just fallen short (cant remember exactly) and they are hardly Flying at the top this season
Sheff Weds - Doing a Leeds it seems only making it harder!

They've also got an away game against Carlisle among that lot - that's not going to be easy either.

What makes me laugh is the arrogance some of them have in so far that they genuinely believe they have best squad on paper. Surely I can't be the only one to look at signings like Clinton Morrison and think final pay day rather than far too good for this division. And looking at Neil Mellor and thinking overrated porker as opposed to match winner at this level. And now Gary Madine - who from what I've seen of him looks no more than a slightly above average division one striker, but not much else, and absolutely not worth the £500k they spunked on him. And Giles Coke, Morrison etc.... MEH.

At the start of the season there weren't many of their players I'd take over ours. And now there isn't one player who would get into our starting XI, and most wouldn't even get into our squad.

Reading Owlstalk after last night's result is an absolute delight - page after page of "we're fookin' shite" - hilarious!

Not according to them: we are dirty, physical, diving, time wasting cheats. This despite the fact that our card count is way less than theirs. They like their grapes sour in't yarkshire.

Sorry to go against the grain and all that - but it is a fair enough conclusion after the Hillsborough away match that they were better than us. They won for a start, and looked a bit too strong and a bit too experienced for us. There was a disgraceful challenge on Painter, but there was also El Abd's theatricals. And if you think that Wednesday are not a big club - then you have not been to Sheffield or Hillsborough.

The Wednesday fans I have met have been level headed - not expecting anything other than from their efforts on the pitch. And it has been a long time out of the top division for them.

Great club, great fans. Let's face it - you would not want people to make their judgements on the Albion from a lot of threads and posters on here.
