Seen as nobody has gone stupid over the Henderson post earlier. Killgalon is on for free at end of season. Pig or not he was a good centre half.

Good player at championship level has not played much in 3 years only concern. Never saw him go on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Now we are safe, what do you think we need if DJ is a builder I am glad now we got some young players coming through, but to see the benefit off that it may take 2-3 seasons, would be happy with mid table finnish next year, then next play offs etc as the years go on our young players should be developing and the club should have money for that 3-4 quality players that clubs need, think we need a forward, midfielder, and center half, only because the age of the two center halfs they have been great all season can relax and look forward to next season, what a great feeling leaving ground yesterday.

Agree0 Disagree0

We are moving forward.

So every owl fan who slated Howard signing can eat ther words, turned out to be a brilliant signing and I'd be very surprised to see anyone disagree

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree, although he hasn't been getting goals, apart from one, which was great and really set us rolling for the game ahead. He has been solid, getting into great positions, just not converting, that maybe one of many things, he's not completely used to playing in the side, communication difficulties, (lack of or too much) and maybe even after being used to playing at L1 level for a while he wasn't expecting such a step up. I never slagged him off, just thought I'd wait until he found his element, he could have scored 2 or 3 yesterday, and I really do hope we sign him in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

He has played well and he is one of those players that may not get many goals but really annoys the opposition defence and creates space for other players, just imagine him up front and Antonio feeding off the balls he provides. This is the sort of player Madine should be so if we keep both of them I hope Howard can coach him and improve his game, from what I understand that was part of DJ's thinking when signing him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Poor pitches meant his style of player required and he did well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Many did slag Howard off this week though, as amunition to throw at DJ. Shows how much the negperts know.

Agree0 Disagree0

Howards rubbish,, lol u lot don't no a good football player if u saw 1. (Wednesday fan)

Now that we know that we're in the championship I think we should sign helan, lita, pugh, judge, benayoun, ebainks Blake, Howard. Oh and that messi sounds like a good player ��

Talk about a tale of two halves (the season, I mean). The first 21 games and we looked doomed.
The next 25 games and 43 points later we would have been equal 2nd in the league if the league had started after the home game against Bristol City.
So what's the big turn around been all about?
My own opinions are the new coach, adapting to the league, finding a playing system that suits the players at your disposal and team stability.
So how do we progress from this? I hope Jones has learnt his lesson and realised that bringing in 9 or 10 players like he did last summer doesn't help with team stability! out of those 10 or so players only 3 can be really regarded as first eleven starters (Kirkland, Antonio and Gardner) I'd much rather see 5 or 6 fringe players go to help free up wages for 2 quality players that can add to an already stable top half team. Then use the loan market like Watford did for any injury set backs. A top striker and centre mid will do!

I agree we had too big a change at the start of the season and too many players came in and they didn't gel. However unfortunately that change was necessary as the squad that we started the summer with wasn't good enough and we needed new players unfortunately some were the wrong options.
As you say I would like to see a few younger/fringe players added to the squad to add a little depth and then a couple of decent players with proven championship quality. The loans we got in at the end of the season prove that someone at the club knows a good signing when they see one and if we could get a few players like Helan or Lita then next season will be a lot more comfortable.

Agree0 Disagree0

Think our problems in first half of season were due to defensive frailties. It took Gardner a dozen gmes before he started to find his feet and when he did Llera started to play more responsibly. Think this was the key and Reda's absence was a factor, it was offset later by itroduction of Pugh and Helan. In Div One Semedo was awesome and able to bail defence out I thought he would be good in Championship too but he was not up to the mark. Read lots about tactics ad coaching think mostly over played just down to players bedding in or not being good enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think was a season of two halves but we needed influx of players. Without Kirkland, Gardner, Antonio, Pugh, Halen, Lita, Howard contributions would have struggled. Contract situation means we will have at least 6 new arrivals and hopefully some of youngsters will press for a place.

Agree0 Disagree0

At the start of the season we were riding high players had gelled, we won 3 and drew one in August, Jones even got manager of month, then something happened, possibly in dressing room because we didn't win again for 10 matches (only picked up 2 points out of 27) picked up 2 wins then lost next 6, it's this period that put us in th poo and we never really recovered from this dip in form

Commiserations to the negsperts who seemed to spend the year rooting for wednesday to lose so they could justify their crap opinions. Foundation year in Championship. Lots been learned. Decent points total in the end. Onwards and upwards UTO

Well said

Agree0 Disagree0

You beat me to it mate.
Great result and a decent season.
Negsperts have been targeting Howard this week.
Brilliant.

Agree0 Disagree0

I see you’ve invented another childish word now?
I’m one of Jones critics along with many, many others because I’m a dyed in the wool fan, probably for twice as many years as you’ve been alive judging by the childish attitude you persist with, and I only want the best for the Owls.
None of the Jones critics want the team to lose - ever, just another one of the childish comments.
But we do want a manager who is capable of making progress with our great club.
From where I stand, I hardly think escaping relegation on the last game of the season makes Dave Jones an Owls Messiah capable of taking us forward to the promised land.
Hes going to get chance to build for next season now, I hope you would agree he has to do better next year - if he can!

Agree0 Disagree0

Lets hope we carry on from first half am well pleased, well done to all at swfc.

Agree0 Disagree0

I bet your sick as a pig. Still looking for the negatives on a great day for the club. Pathetic.
'Owls Messiah, promised land'. Sounds a little on the childish side also, does it not?

Agree0 Disagree0

Well done DJ. Onwards and upwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

The Blunts ad weeds on site still can not give it a rest.
Very good first year cosiderig funds invested. Good progress made.

Agree0 Disagree0

Time for celebration. I can book my holiday in a state of grateful relief. Once the excitement has died down we can look forward with good hope. However, a little common courtesy would not go amiss in future exchanges.

Agree0 Disagree0

To the poster above who just wants a manager to take he club forward. Dj took mesons side from playoff hopefuls. Auto promotion then got 58 points in championship. I would suggest this is moving in the right direction! Now I'm nt his biggest fan but give him some credit please.

Agree0 Disagree0

Always bin a jones fan but disappoinrd this season. However anyone who, s not not jones fan has every right to voice their opinion
just because someone disagrees wiv your opinion does, nt make them negative. Its their opinion

Agree0 Disagree0

Dave Jones has to produce a better performance next season, we managed to stay up which was the main thing

Are you lot really really happy to survive on the last day?

I will give him till Christmas and if we are struggling show him the door

Agree0 Disagree0

I imagine dj with be shaking in his little cotton socks about you showing him the door at xmas.
