Got a feeling we might have to score a goal down there but we're well capable of it.

 

Is today May 14th, the 50th anniversary of the Owls' v Everton at the old 'Empire Stadium' where for. at least 70 minutes things were going o.k. ?

You are definitely right.

The early 90's squad was much better, that's taking nothing away from the current crop as they are doing so well, but had that 90's side played Brighton tonight the tie would have been over by at least 4/5 goals

 

A bit of rose-tinting there I think. I agree they were better simply because they were doing it at a higher level of football but they weren't perfect. I still remember moaning on the Kop about certain players, who I'd remember fondly in the years of dross to come, because they failed to cross a ball or something. Even the early 90s team had games where they failed to capitalise on an opponent down to 10 men.

Your right mate a very good side but not without fault, if the current one make the top flight that 90's could be surpassed.

Que Bueno that's very good dobby my good pal.

 

What a brilliant night it turned out for the Wednesdayites , with the team having too much

class for Brighton and the fans giving tremendous support that will live in the memory

for a very long time. What a sight to behold when the fans lit up Hillsborough Stadium with

their mobiles, a truly magnificent tribute to a most memorable night absolutely brilliant to

be a part of it.

Great to be taking a 2 goal lead to the Amex Stadium on Monday , could quite easily have

been a couple more, but never mind Wednesday are more than capable of getting a goal

down there, making it difficult for Brighton to score 3 or more.

 

Carlos had a dream " and its coming true " .

 

WEARH SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY WEARH ON OUR WAY BACK

Gracias amigo,you're right Southey could have been more,its not over yet though,think Bristol away,Carlos will drum it into them.

We do seem to have agreat bond in the team though,would any of you make any changes from Friday?

muchas gracias mi amigo

 

The only change I would make if I was Carlos would be to go 5 in midfield to take control

of that area .Put Hooper on the bench ( not that he's done anything wrong ) with Nuhiu

the lone striker with him being able to hold the ball up purely for tactical reasons and put

Forestrieri out wide left.Forestrieri is a far more dangerous player to the opposition in this

position excelling with his creativity and coming in with shots on goal .

What I don't want Carlos to do is to give Joao the starting shirt ,not that I have anything

against Joao but he's far too raw at Championship level (Carlos does favour him at times )

we have to go with Nuhiu.

Same again and see what half time brings and see if anyone is running out of steam. Where in a good position so let them do the worrying.

[ukdobby]

My thoughts,he would bring Hutch in for Lopez depending how fit he is and leave the rest as it is but am quite happy to leave as it is.

[Southey owl]

Had considered Hutch for Lopez merely cos Hutch has speed .Since Lopez came into the

team he's hardly put a foot wrong , i like the lad , a difficult decision for Carlos.

[samssong]

Leave it to Carlos ,he has had a dream ,if the dream comes true then get the Town Hall balcony swept. get the bus ordered and bring on the clowns.

[Southey owl]

Yeh , that sounds a great idea samssong let's do it, I like the " bring on the clowns bit " great.
