Sky commentator was obsessed with the points gap to Utd, talking it up as if the points deduction isn’t a thing too. Utterly bizarre.

Iorfa looks close to blowing up at the minute. Just rash in all aspects, tonight and Sunday. Could do with a stint out the team. Must be the first time in a while he’s had a decent run without a break?

KW said a few weeks back the structuring of the offers is equally as important as the final figure. Ashley’s bid could be the full £20m tomorrow, where the others are £30m staggered over a period of time. The fact £20m has been rejected out of hand however suggests the £30m offers must be fairly good ones. But it doesn’t mean Ashley is out of it, he might be in a better position to pay the £30m the others have offered. Still lot of unknowns and a long way to go!

Ugbo’s missus has given birth. Phillips was likely the 19th man that travelled, probably for the warm up more than anything.

Breaking News that’s 24 hours old. In all seriousness are Sky effectively okay in the media world to break something as theirs if they wait 24 hours after the actual source breaks it?

This Rob Dorsett character that Sky have tasked with covering Wednesday must live at least a week behind everyone else. His last bit of ‘breaking news’ was in September and that a points deduction was coming for unpaid wages/fees/tax bills etc. We’ve been able to sign another free for the last 2 weeks, and the bids story was broken on Sunday night after the game.

The spell he had out of the starting XI at the start of the season would suggest not. At one time Brown was ahead of him.

Correct, but the narrative then within the fanbase was how great he was.

Iorfa was a colossus 2/3 games back. The reality is you can’t expect consistency from him, at this level, for 46 games. He’s also never been the middle man in a back 3, but it’s been needs just since Weaver got injured and Otegbayo hasn’t stepped up. Thankfully Cooper should now take on that role, and Iorfa can be moved into a position where his deficiencies can be covered better. Realistically when Bernard is fit he’ll probably struggle for a game anyway.

The goals are in the most part individual errors or lapses in concentration. You can’t coach that out of 30 year olds. They just aren’t cut out for the level they’re at. Look at Cooper today. Played no football for about 6 months, came in and looked head and shoulders above the others. He’s been available since July but nobody else has touched him, yet he’s an immediate upgrade to us.

Said it on here a million times before, his performances when everyone deemed him a world beater were no different to what he’s put in since he signed permanently. The only difference is he isn’t scoring the goals anymore. I don’t think how we play ultimately suits him and I don’t think there’s enough in his game to contribute regardless of that. Same goes for Jamal Lowe.

We’re as good as relegated, have been since July. New owners on the horizon that will undoubtedly have their own ideas on how the football club is structured going forward. Getting on the managers back about team selection, shape or style is utterly pointless. A Blade rung FH after the match and said he couldn’t see Pep getting a tune out of that Wednesday squad, and he’s bang on. Hammering Pedersen is wasted energy.

Think he’ll struggle to hold his emotions considering the last few months at Wednesday. He made it clear with his history lesson, after the game in March, that there’s no bigger Wednesdayite in Sheffield than him. I’m expecting him to breakdown in happiness on FH later this week now Chansiri has gone. He’ll be crossing everything that the good times are coming back to Hillsborough.

Penistone Road will be full of angry pointing and shouting again then. The Police must feel it’s easier to Police the crowd walking back to town than it is Policing the Tram Stops. Still unsure how this helps getting Utd fans to the game without any trouble. Bizarrely coming out is easier to handle with no trams, but going seems like they’re making hard work for themselves? Can only assume it’s a response to the crowds that gathered on Hillsborough corner waiting for the tram last time.
