Why has nobody else bothered then? He's 26, hardly a kid. Bowen leaving forced Hull into drafting someone in last minute or he would probably still be at Posh right now thinking he's better than he is. They don't appear to be missing him either.

No it wasn't

Surely the playing in opposition kit was a joke by TM, that's how I read it anyway but its hard to tell from just reading Sharps commentary.

The ticket prices kinda offsets the travel expense a bit though. Circa £50 it's cost me for tickets & travel, it was about the same for Huddersfield away. Each to their own though.

Amazed we haven't sold more for this. Very poor

All these striking options yet we've scored like 13 more goals than them this season...

Imagine if Walton did that Raya classic ?

Yep. BUT it's so massively dependent on injuries and we ain't getting much luck in that department.

Not so far off

I imagine message boards up and down the country have a similar tone. Yep we're walking an injury tightrope alright and we've had such rotten luck in that front this season I hope it stops. More than happy for the youngsters to step in if required. They may as well scrap this January window it's a complete waste of time.

Ah the expected meltdown is in full flow on here I see ? I don't know why people get their expectations up, if you don't you don't get disappointed. Just browsing through done deals and the only one that stands out as decent is Maddison to Hull, however he's not really on a par with Jarrod Bowen who's off so not so it's not really that good for them after all although they'll pocket a fair bit of cash.

Yep I can confirm this, he's got 'legend' status up there. They do speak very highly of Downing, and in fact the other old boys really too. Depending on the lineup is well worth a flutter on Downing first goal, or Graham, or both! Smallwood might be pushing it a bit.

Left back aside, and the Gallagher wing experiment though who in the first team would you be replacing right now? Even then I'd rather JRC get a fair crack and to a lesser extent even Chapman than some short term loanee. Yes there's Walton too at some point but I think we're better scouring Europe from now till the summer for a proper replacement there. After that you're looking at squad players or depth for injuries because, imo anyway the team that started the last few games is capable of the goal we're wishing to achieve. Ain't nobody loaning us players as back up or it completely defeats the point of a loan. All the above does mean we're walking an injury tightrope big time though obviously so it's far from ideal! There must be a decent left back out there somewhere that can slot straight in, no idea whom mind.

Stats point to a 1-1 here folks. Not an absolute disaster by any means really but not much use if we're serious about any top 6 ambitions I really hope he does unleash JRC after bigging him up so much recently, I do however find it had to imagine sadly...

Classic game of 2 halves influenced by Rothwells early departure. Sharpe pointing out 9 of the 11 finishing the game were under 25 so fair play seeing a tricky game out, when you consider we used to crumble in such games under the experience of Mr Mulgrew, amongst others. Some really tricky games coming up, absolutely everything pointing to a draw on Saturday against Boro first up.

The bottom line is we have a fairly small supporter base that's classed as loyal and still passionate about attending. They accept the price is reasonable in the grand scheme of things, which it is. After that we have a chunk of supporters who got pissed off with Venkys and sadly won't attend unless they go. There's still a large number of 'floaters' who have no intention of attending unless we get back to the premier league it's a simple as that. WHY I don't know. I personally can't stand the premier league and what it's become, modern football is shite. Unfortunately a lot of the floaters grew up being spoon fed premier league football and multi million pound signings. The bottom line is we obviously need to get back there for financial reasons but I much prefer the championship and even league 1 as a competition. £10 tickets will cause occasional peaks in attendance but hardly any will come back, till the next time maybe. SO, in summary, unless we get back to the 'promised land' the club can try all the initiatives under the sun but they're pissing in the wind.

Leeds have signed Jean-Kevin Augustin on loan from Leipzig.........

Billy Sharp who himself said he's going nowhere and wants to fight for his place at United yeah?

It's the last 10 games that will count in this league. Effectively treading water till then will keep you in the mix at present. A few teams are gonna go on a run, it's not likely to be us but we can always live in hope.

The Holtby goals last week were so Dack-esque. Not one bit spectacular just right place, right time like so many of Dacks goals. Wouldn't be surprised if we've had him watching some clips featuring Dack and just said "do this". They score a fair few, I think only WBA have scored more this season so we could be in for a goal fest if we play like we did last weekend again....

He's far from perfect Walton but ALL keepers make mistakes. Of course he needs replacing, we HAVE to unless he gets offered a permanent deal, I just don't think that with our shoestring budget it's a priority. A flawless keeper is a 50m pound one.

Cheapest split ticket is Preston to Crewe then theres a 20 min wait till the rattler to Euston. 47 quid

I wouldn't even bother with a keeper at this point. We will struggle to get better than Walton with our budget I'm afraid (I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as some make out anyway) A proper left back and perhaps a winger would suit me.

Does anyone ever bother to read them or am I a bit sad? Thought it would be worth starting a thread to share them, not to go on and be clowns winding them up but just to read their opinions both on us and their own teams. So I was browsing a Wednesday one earlier, understandably in meltdown. Some stark comparisons to here though some of the comments particularly regarding Monk. https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/forum/3-sheffield-wednesday-matchday/ Worth a read if you get a few mins.

Yep Sutton was making his name as a young centre half haha
