Tommy Crawshaw

He said he'd had other offers but wanted to sign for Wednesday.

That's strange, why wouldn't Röhl put him in the side if he thought he was the best finisher at the club. He didn’t even pick him in the team in front of Ugbo who couldn't finish.

Not impossible he could get offers from Championship clubs and might not want to drop to League One.

We had Reece Johnson and Jarvis Thornton who have both not looked out of place when they have come on before and Emery. Fusire, Cadamarteri, Otegbayo were obviously getting tired after an hour. We flogged Fusire for the full 90 mins when he was shattered. We will be relying on the likes of Jarvis and Thornton next season. Need to be building them up and giving them some game time now.

I remember going to the old ground which was the 3 sided county cricket ground in '77 when we won 2-0. The new ground is a soulless non bowl just like many others in the lower leagues. E.G. Chesterfield.

The first one was ridiculous though. Their scorer was waiting just outside the penalty totally unmarked. You could see what was going to happen and I've noticed this on corners in previous games.

We need to start winning a few games to build confidence. The longer we go without a win will destroy the confidence of the players. Of course losing every game matters. What will holding the record for the lowest number of wins in Championship history do for the team's confidence going into next season. Despite his 2 goals I bet McNeill is feeling really down now. I think that penalty miss by Ugbo earlier this year finished him, confidence wise.

For me if HP used his bench more and earlier it would help in that respect. Some of the players are clearly blowing after an hour and we need fresh legs on but he seems reluctant to do it until it's too late.

Apologies got the wrong end of the stick. I thought we were talking about making changes during a match. HP doesn't seem to want to use his subs when players are getting tired and it has cost us in the last 2 games IMO.

I remember reading in one of his books he said that he supported Utd to be different because they were the underdogs in the city and everybody he knew supported Wednesday. Though I think he tries to be diplomatic about it. From an interview: "If United have won, I’m really in a great mood for a couple of hours, but if not, the family keep out of my way. You must be unusual in being a Sheffield United fan who watches Wednesday too? Well, I’ve lived in London for 35 years and I do follow the fortunes of both. It’s more a token of feelings for the city where I grew up. Sheffield people will say to me: “You’ll say ‘up the Blades’ then you’ll say you’re a Wednesday fan, what’s going on?” United were the club I supported when I was growing up, mainly because their ground was the nearest to our house. I used to see Wednesday supp­orters as a different type of person, just… deeply dis­turbed. But then I was always excited when either club was involved in a big game and Wednesday tended to be involved in bigger games. When I first came to London, it was 1966 and Wednesday were in the Cup final, so I couldn’t say I wasn’t interested because they were from my city. Eric Idle was a big Chelsea fan and I used to go there to see either Sheffield team play. I found myself being sucked in as a sort of associate Wednesday fan, though I would have been disem­boweled in Sheffield if they’d known that."

Nope serious... a couple have just said HP can't make changes when the players are getting tired. Just wondering why. Unless I've missed something as I haven't read the whole thread.

He's a piggy.

Why can't he make changes?

He'd never taken a penalty before in senior football though.

Yep when the pressure is on you'd want Bannan to take it.
