Have to be disappointed with anything less than a win here. There was potential for fatigue with a long midweek trip down to Southampton, and with Stoke playing a day earlier, but we should be fresh and ready to go here.
Another away game at a team down the bottom Expecting another sluggish performance without a striker. Expecting another johnston wonder goal.
Sheff Wed seemed to have a game plan that was working 1st half and they actually matched Leeds for much of it. That goal at the end of the first half has changed the complexion though and Leeds look to be controlling the game more in the 2nd half
There's a chance that both Sheffield clubs as well as both from Stoke get relegated from their respective leagues this season , I wonder if anything like this has happened before with 2 city clubs like the above & or at Birmingham , Nottingham , Bristol & or less so at Liverpool or Manchester ? ( I've probably missed some other cities with 2 clubs residing within ) .
Wednesday will be fine I think unfortunately. Still fighting to the end despite being 2-0 down with ten mins left
Had their big chance gone in early doors, it could have been a different story. Thought they played well in parts and kept themselves in the game even when Leeds started to control things early second half. Going to be some run in at the bottom of the Championship this season
McAteer out still, recurrence of his hamstring injury, Praet out, Vardy hasn't trained but not injured, being managed due to age etc. Vestergaard back, Wilf wasn't expected to play Tuesday but felt he was needed. Be interesting to see the team
Have to agree this will be an advantage for you. As I said last week just hope we can shithouse a point here and the following 2 games. Does us a favour primarily but should also stir up the pot for the last 2 play off places.
We need to go for the win because it's going to be a high survival total this season. But a point wouldn't be a terrible result.
Lose this which is probably likely and there will be a corner flag image on the Official site. Crowd was very low on Wednesday and that will send a message out to the owners that fans aren’t happy . Well actually it’s mainly them people want out but that isn’t going to happen anytime soon .
The Sheffield clubs have had weirdly similar seasons recently. Both relegated in 20/21, playoff semi-finalists in 21/22 and promoted in 22/23.
I was just going to post exactly this. Very odd how similar the last 4 Seasins have been, though obviously at different levels. I know we’d never both been relegated in the Same season before 20/21 and I can’t recall us both being Promoted in the same season (unless they were promoted in 84?) Hopefully it’ll be slightly different this season with only one getting relegated. I have to admit, I’ve not fancied having them in the same Division as us over the last 3 Seasons, just for the Derby Matches, but IF we can keep hold of Rohl I’d welcome The Derbies Back next Season. I think we have a chance, these 2 Matches were always going to be Difficult (You, away Next) I’m hoping you win again Today, as runs like that have to end sometimes and hopefully it’ll be next week. If we can get anything from you it’ll be a Bonus, then if we are within reasonable distance for the last 8 Games I believe we can do it, it’s how we react after those 2 games, under Rohl I think it’d be positively but only time will tell. Still Chansiri Out!! As for Yesterday, I thought we played well 1st Half and deserved to go in at least level, that goal knocked the stuffing out of us. In the 2nd Half their Quality came through and the 2nd Goal killed us off. Although they were far better than us, we never stopped Trying, which is a good sign and completely different to our First 11 Matches under the Clown. Not really too despondent, anything other than a loss, would have been a Bonus, although it’s Great that now we think the Team can overcome the difference in Player Quality and maybe pick up some “Bonus” points.
Unchanged for us. Hopefully not having a game midweek is an advantage. Looks like Stoke have matched us up with a back 5. Should be interesting tactically with Schumacher being Lowe's former assistant.
