ALAN 58

This is a game that will put us to the test. Like ourselves Millwall have made a good start to the season and to come away with anything we are going to have to be at on our game. I,m led to believe they, re a big side who like to make full use of the tall striker s. If that is the case then I would recall Iorfa and play three centre half, s in a 3 - 4 - 3 formation. We now have cover for every position and having three games in eight days there is no doubt LB will make use of them. My team would be. Westwood Lees Iorfa Borner Odubayo Hutch Bannon.Palmer Murphy. Fletcher. Kadeem Dawson Fox Bates Luongo Reach Forestieri Rhodes Owls to win 1-0

Early days but if today's performance is anything to go by then we will have a team who are capable of delivering what the fans want. A winning team playing attacking football from a squad of players who look fit and know exactly what LB wants from them. Today we could have had four or five easily, Barnsley were not a poor team we just never let them settle into there game. You could say today we got our money, s worth. Keep it going Owls whether it be LB or another manager you have set the bar . Like I said it,s early days.

Only two up front, what happened to the days when clubs played five. I Have to agree with you on this one Padders, given the chance i,m sure he,ll get the goals poachers don,t lose it.

Think we should go with the same team as against Reading with Dawson in for Westy and I, ll go for same score 3~1 Owls.

We now have pace down both sides , so no more excuses, JR you have a job to do. get on with it and we,ll forget the transfer fee you cost. Joking aside with the players we have, cover in every position, we should be in among the teams chasing the prizes. David Bates just signed on loan from Hamburg.

Would it be 20% of the selling price or 20% of the profit made, could be a substantial difference.

This would be the icing on the cake also mention of Jacob Murphy from Newcastle.

bhttps://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/paul-jones-signs-for-wednesday/ Owls bring in Paul Jones as cover for the injured Wildsmith, don,t no much about him other than he,s a good blues singer.

That would be my starting team, 4_3_3 with Iorfa when he becomes available.

I,ll take any win Padders, lets get on that board.

I think that was a good point Mooks. Luton on there own ground are going to take some beating. For me Boro and the Owls will be up there challenging along with another ten. Good luck to you.

Give Bullen the job and let him get on with it. Leave the big time charlies in the studio,s to critisize others on something they did do themselves and thats why most of them are out of a job , they have failed. Bring in the new generation they have to start somewhere..

He did mention the two names but i didn,t catch them. Only one way for me is the manager say,s get me X and they deliver.

Bully said at last nights forum Marshall was always linked to the owls. What i surprised to hear and did not know was that they do have a recruitment department, how that works he didn,t say.

Exactly , age is not a barrier in football management just pointing it out.

I have to agree, what is the point if you are not trying to compete with the best.

Chris Coleman should be alright, he is three-year young er than Chris Wilder.

Hi Padders, Eric Taylor refered to it as the "Yoyo years" Owls had three relegations 1951,1955,1958 and three promotions 52,56, 59 each relegation followed by promotion the following year.. My first visit to S6 was easter monday 1958 On my third visit i experienced relegation. How exiting..

I said months ago it would be a long time before we are treated to a derby game at league level and i still stand by what i said. The Blades were worthy promotion winners, but i go along with the bookmakers who make them odds on favourites to come straight back down. Before SB decided to leave for greener pastures i was very optimistic of promotion for the Owls, i am sure if we can get the right man in then we have a squad who can still deliver, So for me i see the clubs swapping places and the same could happen for seasons to come, back to the yoyo years.

Reading between the lines it,s Bully,s job if he wants it . It appears that a decision will be made when they return from Germany , and he has spoken with DC. or at least thats how i read it. There is no doubt he has the respect of the players and he has been around the club long enough to know what everyone wants especially the fans. I would think in the time he has been coaching and assisting other managers he now knows the ropes to take on the role of manager, we have a decent squad of players and i,m sure LB will have his own ideas of how we go about being competetive and gaining promotion. We could do far worse than giving LB the job and I for one won,t be to disappointed if he gets it, even though my choice was Hughton or Jocanovic. Lets just get it sorted and get on with the job.

For anyone who fancies Lee Bullen to get the job, the 6/1 at Hills to a £30 stake seems good value compared to the 6/4 offered by Paddy Power. My money is in my pocket.

Word has it Ashley has coughed up £4 million. ( The Sun) True of false lets get the show on the road.

Now it,s official Owls are "Back in Black" Louder lads Louder let them hear it in S2.
