Pulling back level from 0-2 down, only to go and concede again immediately. Ouch! Yeah, even though I obviously went mad when we equalised, the first thing I said was "undeserved". It would have been a robbery if we'd got anything out of it. Ex-player Leon Clarke scoring twice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to remain sensible after 2 consecutive top 6 finishes but its hard to defend a diabolical display like that. We were second best all over the pitch and got exactly what we deserved. Yeah, can't stand em. This is the worst one for Wednesday since I've been alive. We're at home to Leeds on tv next weekend in another derby, dreading it. We feel your pain my friend, we`ve all been there many times! At least you`ve got a midweek game (Brum away?) to try and put it right - I`m a firm believer in needing to get back out there as soon as possible. Imagine if today had happened next weekend with the two week break coming up............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm THAT old I can remember Rovers beating us at AG.................horrible. I did feel sorry for you lot (no axe to grind either way) It's worse losing at home in a derby somehow !

I feel your pain but Wednesday strike me as being a bit like Derby , feel entitled to be in the top six and I feel have lost momentum. Derby looked jaded and old against our youthful, hungry team .

Owl visiting, quick question, why weren't Sheffield United given the lower Leppings lane as well as the upper?. Seems bizarre that Wednesday fans were under United fans, hence also having to cordon off a third of the top tier. Will they give you the whole away end at Bramall lane?

Another quick question why did the PA announcer repeatedly give out the same message to those in the South Stand about how to exit the ground? Must have made the same announcement 15 times!

It's due to the health and safety stuff, SAG (which I think I've seen mentioned on here) have reduced our capacity from 40k down to around 33k. I think we gave United the minimum amount of tickets the football league allows, there has been problems in the past when visiting supporters have been given the bottom tier. Another reason may be to do with the Police. Wednesday and United along with the Police probably agreed a set number of away tickets for both derbies. I expect us to get the exact same number of tickets at their place. 28 minutes ago, Jerseybean said: Another quick question why did the PA announcer repeatedly give out the same message to those in the South Stand about how to exit the ground? Must have made the same announcement 15 times! Normally when leaving the South stand it makes sense to head clockwise around the outside of the ground passing the away end on Leppings Lane. A barrier had been set up today to send the two sets of fans in opposite directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 @Owl VisitingI feel your pain, I really do. If it's any consolation derby games can throw up some strange results can't they. I remember Everton usually the underdog beating Liverpool more often than not, same with Man City before their riches often turning over ManU etc. I know very little about the Sheffield team but always think of Wednesday bring bigger and more successful, so ultimately think you will be the ones with the bragging rites at the end of the season. So lick your painful wounds and play the long game, as that's really what it's all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
