Fresh from Porktalk: "A reality check guys. We appeared to be holding on at the top until............ Injuries! Why do we have so many compared to other teams? In fact our Squad is not strong enough after all. It's hard to list now a team v Cheltenham away! See later. We do have ageing players. Barnsley saw that as the game wore on and have "youth". Although we should have got a result." I said the other day they have a team of geriatrics, and it'd be a miracle if they stay fresh til EOS. It was inevitable, injuries. Money may get you a few decent individuals, but it won't buy you a good footballing brain.
I love the narrative that Wednesday played us off the park. It seems to gather credibility in s6 each day.
They seem to be particularly missing Windass and Byers, with suggestions being that they might be done for the season. That said, we still have 6 points to make up on them, plus goal difference or a seventh point, so not getting too jubilant. They still have automatic promotion on their own hands
Some of their fans are bonkers. After a great run, second in the table and the verbal knives are coming out. It's crackers. Having said that if the roles were reversed there would be some 'Duff Out!' comments on here quite quickly. There's no patience in football these days... When I were a lad you got one win in 15 and the manager was brilliant!
They did play us off the park. It was up in the air most of the time from Bannan, so technically not on the park.
100% this. Wednesday fans now, some Derby fans wanted rid off Warne after 2 games, some on here wanted Duff out after 3 games. Genuinely boggles my mind, because if/when they're proven wrong, they'll be exactly the same next time round..!
They'll probably still scrape up, doesn't sound like Windass and Byers are more than a couple of weeks out. But if we can get within a win, you never know.

They're still adamant that our first goal should have been ruled out for offside too, as Norwood was interfering with play apparently (despite being 10 yards away from the ball and holding his hands up long before the through ball was played).
