It did hit a nerve, but I still agree with you, partially. Merchandise etc is one thing, they're nice to haves on the day if anyone actually has disposable income these days, and they don't contribute to the atmosphere. It's not so black and white when it comes to Season Tickets, got to have bums on seats to push the team on. Typical match day prices on the day are more expensive than the price of a season ticket, amortised over 23 games. The club is a lot less likely to fill the stadium with match day price tickets than season ticket holders, and match day atmosphere has to count for something. Its a tricky one but I would rather people still keep coming to the games, but stop buying things off the shelves and the consumables stop being consumed. Little ways of making an impact.

Fine, I'm part of the problem. Deal with it. I'm about as hacked off with the club as the next person, but I will still go to support them as I have for the last 14 years when I could actually afford one. And that's entirely my choice. I nearly gave it up after the relegation of 2024-25, but I'm giving it one last punt as this is still a means to socialise and support my boyhood club. By all means, hold it against me.

Caught in no mans' land for the first, left way too exposed by awful defending for the second. It happens. He will save us way more points than he will cost us. The team performance as a whole was poor so no need to single him out. Draw a line under it and move on.

Yes, the whole hierarchy just stinks now. But we need to go further, didn't change a thing last time and probably won't this time. Boycotting games, stop buying merchandise and match-day food/drinks. Need to start hurting the club financially for the message to hit home. The players look fed up and so are we, just need to show the club how much.

Only a banana skin if the opposition is worse than us, if anything it is the other way round. Yesterday's performance will make most of the country realise, if they hadn't already, that we just not that good and we are not destined for promotion. This is a mid-table team and currently play like one. The pre-season win against Fiorentina looks more like a fluke as the weeks pass. As much as I sympathise with the currently depressing situatuon he finds himself in, we just need Marti to quickly realise which players are the weak links. Soumaré and Skipp should never start again, sulky Winks and BEK instead. Potentially unpopular opinion but Hamza should be nowhere near the team. Anyone that wants to ask what I would do instead, well I don't know, that's above my pay grade.

Means very little if all we have done is sign a 38 year old backup keeper. I wouldn't expect much else to change between now and the end of the transfer window.

Only good thing about that was Monga's goalscoring exploits, but even that means nothing in my opinion if we still lose like we did today. Signs don't look good for those that predicted we will be promoted this season. Squad needs a massive refresh, but we are essentially paralysed by our current squad and off-field financial issues. Could be a long season ahead if MC doesn't find the best starting XI quickly.

Current squad - 9th to 16th. If we actually improve the squad - 1st to 8th. Marti doesn't know his best XI yet so giving him and our prospective squad position the benefit of the doubt.

This all feels a little knee-jerk. Yes we lost to Huddersfield, and its our first-round loss for many years, but poor Marti is working with a bunch of entitled prima donnas that need to be turfed off, and they will be eventually. Have to keep faith that he gets the funds and then finds a team suitable for at least a top half finish. To answer the question, no, I genuinely believe this team will not be relegated again. However a substantial culture change on all levels of the club needs to happen to make sure of it, and a squad refresh too. Too many players that are comfortable and able to not give that 100% our club deserves, and they should just be left to rot whilst we have a more committed starting XI to work with.

And not just the case of not trying, but also trudging around in a giant sulk like Winks. Don't care about the theatrics in the background, they still should be professional enough to do their job and play for the badge that is paying their weekly salary!

Hamza currently gets 4.6... That's after scoring a stunner. What would it have been without the goal? 👀

Not many players I can recall that have always made a team worse when they have been on the pitch, but Soumaré ticks this box. Has not improved our squad in any way at any time, and this will be another player stealing a wage that will simply leave on a free. And good riddance. Anyone willing to come buy him before then would have more money than sense.

Another one where sentimentality gets in the way where the club is concerned. Hard to say what the lad is actually prolific at in any sense. He is at times OK, other times utterly ineffective.

Hooray, means we focus on survival more earlier than I expected!

Certainly mine of choice and only a short walk from the King Power too.

They don't. Faes is just unfortunate enough to be Belgian, which carries with it a certain reputation for being, well, good. Soumaré and Vestergaard don't seem to have that same level of arrogance and entitlement, but equally it's not lost on us that they're just not very good and need to be eventually moved on.

Another one we will probably lose on a free. Did himself no favours today with a poor performance, before and after Skipp's HT substitution. Slow, ponderous, lethargic, passing backwards more often than not... Different season, same Soumaré. Sell him in this window whilst we still can.

You certainly made your point. A peaceful protest that more than emphasises what needs to change, and I'm glad we could help play our part in shoving the message down Chansiri's throat. One of those rare moments that I'm prpud of our fanbase as a whole. No football fan's club should ever be in the position they are in, and if your chairman has any sense, he should sell up as soon as possible. Good luck for the rest of the season. You, as fans and as a team on the pitch, did Sheffield Wednesday proud. 👏

Thanks to his first name, I still found myself questioning if people were still booing him despite scoring what was the winning goal... His reaction (cupping ears to the fans) absolutely stank and will do little to change the minds of those who want him gone, myself included.

Skipp and Soumaré have to be the worst possible centre midfield that we can put forward. If we could have afforded to keep Ndidi and if Winks was a little less petulant, then the two we had start today would be confined to the bench. Can still hear the sound of Spurs laughing and Skipping all the way to the bank.

Your mood in 10 words? Still pissed with the hierarchy, cautiously optimistic for the season. Where will we finish? 8th, mentally preparing for a second season in the Championship. How many points will we be deducted? 9. EFL (and Premier League) will want to make a BIG example of us. Nick can't save us a second time. Who will be our most important player? Fatawu. A squad deprived of proven goalscorers will the star winger to step up. Who will be top scorer? Not going to be Daka is it? Fatawu is a safe bet. What are you most excited about? The youth coming through the ranks, and seeing what Cifuentes can do. What are you most worried about? Not having an quality striker. May as well call us a shittier Arsenal. What’s one thing you most want to see this season? More communication or actual financial competence at the top. Which player is going to surprise us? Okoli. Looked good in preseason, hoping it carries through the season. Which player do you most want out the door? You only want one? Faes. I could name at least three more. Which player linked with a move are you most desperate to keep? El Khannouss, but he's going in any case. Too good for us. Will Martí Cifuentes still be the manager this time next year? Hopefully. We need some actual stability for a change, every system needs time to bed in.

Looked to me like he was saying goodbye. Sad to see him go, but at the same time, we need to sell him. Such a frustrating place to be in.

Considering he bounces from club to club like a hot potato, I'd say he is bang average at best. DG always thought he was better than he actually is and kicked off when he wasn't getting the game time. Petulance. Could never beat a man, end product was questionable. We overpaid for this guy because he scored against us when playing for Birmingham.

Glad he is gone. One of many that I hoped we would sell this summer, hopefully this triggers the fire sale that the club sadly needs to refresh its squad.

If I was to send Daka any kind of message, it would be to leave. JV won't accept a wage decrease, so the idea of a return is dead for many legitimate reasons. As much as I like the fact that he got his 500/200 ending, he left the club much later than he really should have done. Sticking my neck out and saying that the reason that he is still without a club, says to me that his own financial/playing demands are too high, or that those same suitors struggle to see where he can fit into their sides. Time to either lower his expectations, or retire.
