Dr Who?

It’s a weird league, you see these kind of results all the time. Tonight Charlton winning at Boro! The skates last win was 4 games ago at Millwall 1-3! It really is this league anyone can beat anyone… apart from Sheffield Wednesday.

Don’t believe this, did not think we would win tonight, just experience in being a Saints fan. 10 games undefeated, off the back of winning against a premier league side… next a team in the bottom 3, only one outcome. But still have 45 minutes. They will wobble a bit, so can we take advantage. We will not win on Saturday either. But I still think we will grab the 6th spot as we have a pretty good run in, and many home games.

I know how this senecio players out, I have seen it many times before. 10 games undefeated and the last one being away at a premier league side and the next game is to a struggling side. We will not win. I also do not think we will win on Saturday, but all is not lost as we have a good run in and we will make the playoffs.

Well, I can honestly say I am surprised. Nailed a game plan 100%. Well done SFC!

Same as the national league format. Except only 1 automatically go up!

I would presume they will not put out the first team either, as they are looking to qualify for Europe through the league.

This will be a very good test, but one I feel that will show the difference between us and the premier league teams. I fear our cup run will end here as predicted by many as soon as we come up against a premier league team. Just hope it is tight and they do not take us apart. Just watched their game this afternoon, and they are pretty handy!

I am not a great fan of OWTS song!

Was in the top tier today with the boy. It was my first visit to Hillsbrough since 1997 and a 0-0 draw. Think Paul Jones saved a penalty that day. The ground is looking in a terrible state, neglected like the whole club top to bottom. It was a strange one as the atmosphere was very flat, and the performance matched it. Seemed like we just expected the win, which showed in the celebration the little bit of the 3rd goal as there was more of an eruption due to the worry that was creeping in! We did what we needed to do and had the feeling of an end of season game or a pre season game. I do think we could have upped the tempo a little and in the first half it did remind me of the last time we were in the championship as it was very laboured. There was a lot of very good good football at times but the end product was just not there. We missed Stewart for sure today. None of the subs did anything and had negative impact of the game and our shape. For what the Wednesday fans have been through, those that were in the ground were great at the end of the first half and second half. Let’s face it they have nothing to sing about. Our fans were flat, turned up got the 3 points and went home. Very strange game and I think things will start to get a little tougher, but we still have lots of points to play for, but feel we are a little short of a serious play off side, but we will see.

I hope our fans stay classy, or at least do not give it the large one about Wednesday being relegated and gloat at them. They have really been through the shit with a completely awful owner! Yes we celebrate if we win, but let’s just enjoy what could be our last visit to Hillsborough for a long time.

‘That’ cup run. The first that I remember, of course the semi final, but also Armstrong against Blackburn, holding the magic sponge to his head. The other semi final Watford v Plymouth. To this day I believe if we had overcome Everton we would have won the cup that year. Remember the Wednesday game. I think the last time I was at Hillsborough was 0-0 as well in the mid 90’s.

I don’t think there has been any expectation on them for a while. They put their all into winning the Steel derby, but fell short, as this would have been very small consolation for what has been a horror of a season. They have slightly settled down and improved over the last few weeks, and by this I mean they have scored. If we do not win this it will be criminal. But nothing surprised me when I go to football. I have managed to see Cambridge lose their only game in 20 against few weeks ago away at Harrogate who were bottom and not won in 10 games at home… yep Harrogate won!

The championship is a little nuts, I think everyone but Sheffield Wednesdays and Oxford have had a good run, or a bad run followed by the opposite and then repeat. Some in the top 3 for a little more, but no one is setting the league on fire. My fear is that we are still 4 off the top 6 and we are due another dip. But so are Wrexham! 🤷🏽 Take nothing away… great win tonight, but after Saturday I feel it will get a little tougher for a few weeks.

WTF… don’t use up all the goals! I’m at Hillsborough with the boy on Saturday!

Even though there are many that are not consistent, we are at the top end of having another good run, let’s see if that continues at home to QPR, then we ‘should’ beat Wednesday… then I feel another dip is due which will put pay to this up and down optimism.
