Anyone else agree we should have another look at Luke freeman of Stevenage, he's still only about 20 and whenever ive seen him, he has looked brilliant, hes got quality, he's quick, his first touch is good, and his final ball is almost always decent, we could do with another winger cause I doubt we will sign Helan on a permenant deal.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I agree - I know Megson wanted to sign him but we couldnt afford him ?
Just the sort of player we should be going for got lots of energy like Antonio.
Just look what a difference Redas energy has made in last few games, missing today

Agree3 Disagree0

Cant see that happening but dj needs to pull somthing off soon and win us fans back.

Agree0 Disagree0

I for one was singin his praise last season, not seen much of him this year. But he was quality.

Agree1 Disagree0

Looks like energy dont matter to DJ hes sayin we can manage without Lleras energy. wants players what look half asleep like him all time. go now for me

I've been a strong supporter of DJ but today he has me baffled. Helan playing well down the left wing, Antonio down the right...but no crosses into the box for Sidebe.

Midfield player hiding and nobody wants the ball to feet...so we play a long hoof each time we get the ball. Then sit deep and let Burnley come on to us...they had no pace up front so why not press them and keep a higher line then drop deep to play the ball around to create space behind them for our pacey players?

He brings on COG (who is no better than Sidebe), switches Helan to the right wing and Antonio to the left. COG then spends the first 10 mins deep in midfield in front of DJs box and we have no striker in front of Burnley goal.

DJ then brings on JJ down the middle who mis-controls the first two balls to feet and then spends his remaining spell getting in COGs way for the last 10 mins.

Answer: keep Helan on left, put JJ on right and tell them to use their considerable pace to get to bi line and cross the ball in to COG who stays in the box with Antonio just off COG to mop up loose ball. Get the rest of the team to push up and pick up any ball that comes back out...then push again.

Great summing up of what was as you say totally baffling .
None of our crowd could understand switching Helan, all we talked about after match, and by playing Antonio as he did we gave away one of our most powerful strengths the pace down both flanks?
And why pick Sidibe and then play a system that means we dont get crosses in for him its the only way he can contribute ?
Baffling?

Agree2 Disagree0

Blatently hung over think madine was getting the rounds in new years eve.

Agree1 Disagree0

We are all baffled by DJs tactics yesterday, and maybe it was baffling to the players

We are only spectators who should not have an opinion according to the manager, he knows what he is doing

I for one will not be going back to Hillsborough till he has gone, Milan will not be spending much in January and so we will just tick over till he finds someone to give him his profit because that is ALL he is interested in, he is a business man not a Wednesdayite

All you MM Supporters can have your opinion and continue to be grateful for saving the club but it was Megson who saved us and built a team

Happy New Year to you all but I still think we will struggle

Agree1 Disagree0

Quite a few of GM's players haven't been good enough for this league either.
I just hope MM will bring in the quality we need.

I think it's clear mr jones and mm that we need a proven forward or two. Cog (not good enough at this level), as for Madine I'm not sure if he's good enough either. The problem is mm that you want to pay peanuts for quality. I'm afraid your going to have to part with some serious dollar mm.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Madine is a natural finisher and you cant teach that . he will prove to be a good striker at this level but he needs to get his head down for a year or so and work at his game before he wastes his talent.
But we need somebody for now and not from lower leagues.

Tom pope to sign 3 year contract at swfc.£400, 000 agreed. Deal completed on thursday

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Doubt it cos hes a Vale fan thats why hes playing well, he was useless for Millers .

Agree2 Disagree0

A league 2 striker is the answer to our problems?

Agree1 Disagree1

We got better than him already n if we only gonna buy lower lge players thats where we gonna finish up again but dont think MM is up for getting his wallet out.

Whats up with Wednesday.
We seem to have some good players.We play well some games and crap others.
Doesn't matter who the manager is or who we sign.We have just been poor for so many years now its like i'm dreaming.
We could get 30, 000+ every home game in the championship if we had a good team.The owls shop is doing good business.How can it be possible that we never have any money.

What can be done to change things because i'm getting sick of it now and tbh i don't feel like going these days.
Who do people think need replacing in jan?
I like most of our players but some of them are lacking something.
I dunno..i think this season has broken me :(

Believable3 Unbelievable0

I agree with you. The thing is if you could pin Jones or MM down they would say we cant compete with the likes
of Boro, Cardiff, Leicester, Forest and the like for spending. Clubs which Wednesday should be similar to in support and stature. Even someone like Hirsty would say the same thing.
That is not a good enough answer for me.
Why are Wednesday a joke at the side of the likes of Watford, Millwall,
peterborough, charlton, Huddersfield and even Barnsley. These are good clubs to some degree but it is the fact that we still are behind these teams that gets me upset. These sort of teams still come out on top against us. Believe me Bradford City
are another that will overtake and stuff us soon! Those who defend Wednesdays failure will throw out Forest, Boro and Leicester and maybe now Leeds(if they have financial backing now). It dont answer why teams like Millwall, Peterboro and Watford do better than Wednesday year on year
