Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[One Teddy Maybank]

Tex is having plenty of the ball....hearing his name more than anyone else.

Yes and doing nothing as usual. Had his one good game, just need to accept the next 5 will be mediocre.......

Are we playing not to lose?

 

[Working class pride]

Have we created any chances from open play in the last 3 away games. Most of our attempts against Forest came from free kicks and corners as well. Seems like set pieces are our only hope of scoring at the moment.

Now dont be negative, we shoiuld all be grateful for being 4th from bottom of the championship and drawing 0-0 at half time

It sounds like the Cardiff match, only the Owls have had more attacks than they did. If we don't put a shot on target on the end of our attacks it is going to be a struggle

 

[perseus]

I hope after that awful half we can out in the second half with a bit of energy like we did against Arsenal.

We need a speed merchant against teams that play a high line.

I think CMS is the fastest in a 30 yard sprint? (Lualua faster over 12 yards?) I'd guess we need a wide player to stretch the Wednesday defence.

What are your expectations as a matter of interest - just wondering?

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Not sure how bad it really is..... as player keeps cutting out. I suppose it was too much to ask that the quality would change over the last three years ... there it goes again

Eastenders catch up

Even the DS players think the game is pretty dire

 

[Rookie]

No pace and, seemingly, no cutting edge up top. Going to be a long run in till the end of the season

No win in 14 attempts at SW ...i'd say the scoreline is about par ...away point would be fine IMHO....however as our home form is crap it perhaps isn't enough

The same as every other club in the country, to have a team that matches the size of the support. Man United expect to win the Premier League and Rochdale expect to be in the lower leagues. Expectation is that mid table top flight is par for the Albion and we have in the last 100 years never even reached par.

 

[Icy Gull]

No shots on target, we really are toothless and dull these days

Premier League Ready!

Will take a point, but we need 3 as we don't win at home. Have to stop a gap opening up between us and those above, and hopefully open a gap between us and the bottom three.

Yes, fair comment. Our home form is what is killing us.

What a dull afternoon. NSC is playing up, sticking replies in before the posts they are replying too - and it's going bl**dy slow too), the BBC live text commentary is worse than usual. And the football sounds dire.................

 

[perseus]

Charlton 1 Brentford 0 is a turn up for the book at HT. Charlton expected to lose that one!

 

[Titanic]

Not a clue what is (if anything) is going on from the commentary...

it is woeful, the commentary that is, no effort at all to actually describe the play in any meaningful way; long periods when you don't even have a clue if the ball is in play or not, or if a spaceship has landed in the centre circle and vaporised all the players. It really is awful radio commentary. Bring back Hawsey!!

So you think that a return of zilch in a 100 years whilst wimbledon and wigan lift trophies and palace get regular top flight football is good enough. All clubs with smaller followings. The Brighton players deserve a support like Rochdale, not he one the club has always taken for granted, whether now or back in the third division south days when 34000 would watch Rochdale at home

But in the 3rd and 4th division days after that, we used to get far far less! Still good support but 34000 is a bit misleading as an example.
