Tarmo Kink just been released by mboro, could be worth giving him a trial. he is a left winger after all and had his moments at boro.

I see Ferrie Bodde just 'hobbled off' after only 2 minutes in the Swansea reserve game vs Arsenal reserves! I guess that means any possibilities of us getting him in on loan are scuppered now, too much of a risk me thinks! With the Marshall saga behind us now (and all the best to the lad at leicester, did a cracking job for us while he was here) i believe that other than our strikers not really firing on all cylinders, we have a squad more than capable of automatic promotion! Bywater, Buxton, Batth, Llera, Reda should be our back line but i can't understand why Ryan Lowe dont get more of a chance? If he plays, he normally scores! I would go with M Jones, Prutton/Lines, Semedo, Bostock with Madine & Lowe up top in a 4-4-2 or Prutton/Lines, Semedo, Bostock with O'Grady, Madine & Lowe in a 4-3-3! Just my opinion for what its worth but its not like GM will be reading these posts so we have to leave things in his hands and i hope that Lowe is only not playing due to fitness reasons and not because of the 'rumoured' fallout with Megson!

Wednesday are a big powerful team, we don't need any more players, Megson knows how to get us out of that league and we will! It's not about brilliant football it's about winning by any means possible! That's why he's built his team on strength, power and stamina! Up the owls

It's goals that win you games (you've got to score more than the opposition).

I do agree, but if stamina is one of the key attributes, why do we concede goals in the last 10 mins, time and time again?

If you watch the Owls you'll know we are without doubt one of the fittest teams in this league.
The late goals are simply because of lack of concentration - and the (NON) run of the ball !
In over 40years of watching the Owls I can put hand on heart and say every bit of success we've ever had, we've earned!
How many og's have the other team across the city had this season ?
I can't remember the last one we had before last night ? AND how many times have WE had a shot come back off the bar and hit the oppositions keeper ?
I think we still hold the record for run of games without being awarded a penalty ( over 80 I think ! ) .
We got to two Wembley finals and a replay same year - who against? Lucky Arsenal both times ! - and they were !
So in answer to your question , if the balls bouncing about in front of our net it somehow finds its way in - at the other end it hits the post , or slips the other side of it, or the ref sees a foul somewhere.
Thats just how it is for us and has been for as long as I can remember . Chin up eh ?

So what u r saying is our lads r fit but as thick as 2 short planks?

Why should MM have put his hand in his pocket to buy players at the inflated prices that are usually quoted in the january window. I say well done to him for resisting the option to try and buy promotion and spend the money wisely.
Yes I would have liked to see some more permenant signings but if we get promoted with loan signings then splash the cash I think the team will be better off, rather than what some guys here wanted which is spend the money on decent league one players to get us promoted but who wouldn't cut it in the championship and would then be a drain on the wage bill as they sit in the reserves or go on loan for the remainder of there contracts.
Also unless it was guaranteed that we would be getting promoted in the summer (i.e. 30points clear with no chance of anyone catching us) then no decent player of championship level was ever going to join us permenantly and risk there career getting stuck in league one, did any of the top teams in our league get a 'star' player this window on a permenant contract. I think not although I stand to be corrected as I haven't seen the full list of transfers.
Anyway rant over, lets get behind the team, we have the best twelth man in the league and that support will help us to promotion

maybe the money is there but we are just being careful with it - cant blame Milan for this dont want the boom and bust of old - "The Owls are understood to have matched Leicester’s offer to Stoke for Ben Marshall. Although the player enjoyed his time at Hillsborough he could not turn down the opportunity of Championship football. Leicester are believed to have paid £750,000 plus £250,000 in possible add-ons linked to appearances and promotion" - Sheffield Star - theres loyalty for you

I didnt expect any new signings only looks like we are good for loans only and trying to get promotion on a shoe string - also we dont seem to have that killer instinct at minute to beat the likes of MKD which we need to - i hate to say it but think we will only be good enough for play offs which is a total lottery and some good teams will be in there also - is it just me but i dont have a happy Wednesday feeling at the minute hopefully beating the blunts could be a turning point - UTO

Looks like the play offs for us at the best now.
I have no faithin our transfer dealings.
Sedgewick jj clinton should have all been chopped..
Mike jones and bostock have a lot to prove.
Fingers crossed and good luck to them..
You dont leave a promotion campaign to chance
we lost marshall between meggo milan n aldridge...
One of them missed a trick..
Heres hopin the wheels dont fall off and we can actually
beat hudds and sufc in feb n april...

Good signings I know but to be fair we are generally going for youth, which is building towards the future.
