Weimann and Knight both go hiding when we have possession, happens way too often. Off it they work hard but on it but I never see them showing for the pass, always see them behind markers.

Certainly agree with Weimann hiding. Every game. Whisper it on here though cos he scored a lot of goals 3 years ago 

[Daniro]

I hope Tinman, Crayon Boy and that guy with the suit who did the video gave the lads a good half time briefing on how to maximise value and get promotion.   Chat GPT probably does some good motivational speeches.

Let’s be honest - this is pretty dire 

and although he isn’t here - it’s still pretty much Pearson’s team and tactics 

I fail to see why people are so upset Pearson is gone.

That won't go down well

But I agree 

[CityCiderEd]

This is a bloody hard watch....

[The Nest Egg]

I would absolutely be looking to get Callum Paterson in if Weds continue to struggle

Honestly the football is ******* dire 

The way Pearson was treated and how it was handled was a disgrace - but - let’s be honest, the football is dreadful and has been for some time

Have a lot of respect for Andi. He's finished at this level unfortunately

Why the hell did Fleming not measure the grass length before ko, as he was instructed to do?

[CityCiderEd]

Naismith for Vyner, Bell for Tanner, Mehmeti on for Wiemann.

I've learnt that when someone says this on OTIB we tend to win the game.

Last throw of the dice for Nige and his coaching staff

It's quite difficult to both support the team and be angry against the club leaders....  the atmosphere sounds trapped..... Too much team support is validation, too much anger is team betrayal.the result is much of nothing

 

We live in a world where even too much winning would validate them

Dickie!!!  1-0

I actually disagree, same tactics but no change in tactics based on the game at hand. The second we went ahead in men the tactics should have been changed up to suit the situation, instead Fleming hasn't told us to change up at all. I'm not talking about substitutions but in how we're approaching the game. Sheffield Wednesday have sat back to protect the point, we've continued to play the tactics that we started with, Pearson would not have had this team playing the same way in the second half and he'd also still have some influence on the players. Fleming might be a nice guy, I don't know, but I don't think the players are concerned how he reacts to this game as there will be a new man in charge soon.

Our issue today is that we've not adapted our tactics to deal with Wednesdays situation, hence we look like we have the same number of players out there when we have one more. I think at this point our fans are just looking for justification on the Pearson decision because it'll make them feel better about it.

I'm hoping they will tire in the last twenty and once we get one they crumble.

He ain`t no ******* thickie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spike]

Get in Dickie! Now let's see if Fleming will try and sit back or if he'll try and keep Sheffield on the back foot and use the extra man on the counter to really punish Wednesday.
