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

2-0
Charlton v Brentford

I'd be inclined to take off Bruno stick on Lualua and try 4-4-2, makes it simple and puts at least two players in the box.

you're a bit behind aren't you

You can talk.

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.

hmm - if you look at English league grounds by capacity then we are a championship side

We do indeed appear to be the best supported side outside of the premiership - however you would have to be quite optimistic to imagine that will remain the case http://www.football-league.co.uk/documents/average-attendance549-2006711.pdf - suspect our attendances may drop off from next season. I view us as a second-tier club

So thats not over a 100 year period then or even a 10 year period - the new ground is the effect of that which sadly things need to improve to see the top 20 next year and who know after that

New ground effect? What are you on about? We didnt have a new ground in the 70s or in the division 3 south. This club accepts failure, as does the very very large fan base when compared to most clubs in the country. This club always has taken a large following and done precisely sod all with it. Doesnt look like changing any time soon.

So we can't get a shot in open play and our delivery from set pieces is pants. Bit of a worry

I think the pitch is working to Wednesday's advantage.

Draw out Lees and catch them on the break, but who have we got fast enough for a counter attack?

I would bring on Lualua for Tex

I posted it first, but this weird spacetime continuum thingy on NSC is affecting me.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

Bent scores again for Derby. WE LET HIM GO AND REPLACED HIM WITH LEON BEST. WHY.

 

[KZNSeagull]

How are we playing?

Sounds better than against Cardiff

Not your fault but Wikipedia can't count. We are actually in the championship play-offs by capacity

Also, if you go on season ticket sales or average attendance, we'd be lower mid table in the Prem

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Lingard and Bent link up for Derby equaliser,oh well

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Texeira nailed on to be subbed very shortly.

Just grateful that there appear to be 3 other teams that are as shot as us. I wonder what chance there is of someone from the board holding their hands up and accepting some responsibility for the total incompetence on the playing front this season.
