Sorry but its only goals scored more than the opposition that count for a win

 

Unless it's 0:0 against us, of course......

 

Although. credit given where due: the Owls might, just might, finish the season with a positive goal difference. It's been negative all season 😂😂😂

Great 2nd half to the season. Pity we didn't get rid of Jos sooner otherwise we might have had a chance

 

Hope we can carry on next season, all depends on embargoes and budgets though

Played well and earned the result,like you say,it was results under JL and his management of the side that has ultimately cost us a chance of joining our neighbours  next season.

Its a massive summer ahead,changes are inevitable as consequence of successive failures.

Lets hope DC has learned something from the mess of the last two seasons.

The way you have been playing since SB came must bode very well for next season. Maybe next season will be your year?

You'd hope so but it depends on what state our finances are in. We might end up losing loads of out of contract players (including regulars Westwood and Palmer) but not being able to replace them.

I"m passionate about both Sheffield clubs, a city the size of Sheffield should be able to compete in the Prem. Hopefully we will have one there come Sat evening, next season lets make it 2 clubs.

You don't have to look too far to see what can be done on a shoestring budget. Big (and reckless) spending doesn't guarantee success and your club is testament to that. It's in SB's hands to weed out the dross that takes all and gives nothing in return.

He's probably talking about embargos etc. Your right you don't need to spend millions, the club had it right in Carlos first season with the loans so that should be something we look at providing we can sign players

Yes but there's shoestring and there's not being allowed to sign anyone.

Pardon my ignorance but is there an embargo in place?

Not at the minute but the chairman has said we aren't under the FFP so likely we will

Let's not beat about the bush here.

Yes, Jos didn't help us much with his shilly shallying, but when all said and done, it was the players' very poor application under him that made us ultimately fall short.

Even with his poor team selections, we still had enough quality on the pitch to do a damn sight better than we did do earlier in the season.

We're only three or four wins from a very respectable position and we'll end up around 8 points or so short of a Play-off place.... (open to scrutiny)

With better mindsets and better application, these points should easily have been clocked up earlier on in the season.

I know Bruce has improved things (better selection, more dynamic) but ultimately, it's the players who've pulled their socks up.

Shame they didn't pull 'em up a touch higher from August to January.

Just pulling one sock up each would have got us in to the Play-offs.

So well done players from January to April, but just where were you previous to that?

Not good enough. Must do better. Should do better.

There's plenty of optimism for next season (there's still a chink of light for this season, but we're going to need Life Support) so we'll see how we go.

There's a lot of water going under lots of bridges between now and August.

That said, it's pretty good being a Wednesdayite at the moment.

Stacks better than back in November.
