Sheffield Wednesday Pre-Match Shenanigans

[One Legged Beaver]

After four points at two of the hardest grounds to go in the league I'd fancy us to win on Friday, especially since they don't have Wickham to terrorise us this time.

 

Everyone should be rested up for this game so I'd imagine a full strength side with maybe Dyer in for Knockaert who's had a few frustrating games of late.

 

I'm going to go for 3-1; James, Wasyl (I'm going to keep saying this every week until he scores!) and Nuge 

[XLM]

I went to see them play against Brighton at Hillsborough. 

Brighton weren't good, and should have won - missed chances cost them.

Wednesday literally didn't look like they had a game plan. Every time they got the ball they absolutely pinged

it long in the hope that Leon Best would win his header and score. Defensively, they don't really have pace in the slightest. 

And Giles Coke is the worst footballer i've seen in the championship so far. 

 

So I reckon we'll thump these.

Some of them seem confident

Bless them. We'll be seeing another Pearson goodbye kiss to the Championship Friday; quite possibly on Tops head!

 

Edit; or one of those Thai Lady(boy)'s

Last Saturday whilst we were playing Burnley I was visiting one of our worksites right next to Hillsborough. ...limited internet signal meant me walking up, down and around trying to get updates on my mobile.

So there I was ....giving it the 'come in city' etc whilst all these shaven headed northern monkeys traipsed past me on the way to another home defeat.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Actually think this will be a tough game but we will scrape a win 2-1

;;;;at least one of then was realistic 14-0 LCFC   I think he´s a bit pessimistic, I went for 11-0

[MattGamble92]

Reading that board reminds me so much of prediction threads on here through the last ten years

Oh how times have changed

[Guest Col city fan]

4-0 City

[Tielemans63]

I'd feel more confident if Vardy was fit. We're not quite as effective without his pace up front. Still think we'll win though, 2-1 I'm going for.

[KFS]

Kasper

Schlupp

Wasyl

Morgan

De Laet

Mahrez

James

Drinkwater

Knockaert

Nugent

Wood

Avoid the long ball like the plague. I think we were in characteristic last night due to playing away, Paul 'hoof' Konchesky and a less mobile midfield.

Being at home I expect the midfield will flow, and since we're on Sky I'm thinking Nugent will enjoy this.

2-0 Leicester

Nuge and Wasyl

[Hungry Hungry Fox]

4-0

These have been conceding goals for fun lately

[LCFC FOX]

They will probably set out like Blackpool and Yeovil did and it will be another frustrating game. Hopefully we get the first goal this time and then carry on from there

[Captain...]

Judging by Christmas, we will have another rest day for those that played last night, for the Millwall and Stoke games the whole team was rested over those 2 games, so we may see Knockeart, Morgan, RDL and Nuge rested, I wouldn't be surprised to see this line up:

 

Kasper©

Moore Was Miquel Schlupp

Mahrez James Drinkwater Dyer

GTF Wood

[Woollett's Wellies]

I wish Nugent had played for Sheff Wed at some time, then we'd be guaranteed a one goal start at least! 

[teblin]

On last night viewing Wood will be lucky to start in front of GTF. The ball stuck when GTF came on. Wood was very poor.  I'd go with the usual side and GTF in for Vardy if he is injured.

 

The other option you have if you want to add pace up top is play Konch and put Jeff up top.

Good point re Schlupp. I notice that one or two Wednesday fans say they have a problem with a pacey attack who can play 'off the shoulder'. If that's correct then he's the option. 

[Hungry Hungry Fox]

I reckon it will be back to the team that beat burnley, wood to start

That won't happen

[TheUltimateWinner]

Same team vs Burnley, with Wood in for Vardy.

Just because he didn't score a wonder goal didn't mean he played bad last night.

[goose2010]

2 next games are teams can can do the double over us so i think NP will use this to get the players motivate as well as the obvious! 3-1 all goals coming from our front two. I think he will go back to his strongest possible line up which for me is 

 

Kasper 

RDL Was Wes Jeff

Knocky Drinky James Mahrez

Nuge and Wood

[lgfualol]

Team wise, agree with Kent fox.

If we go to long ball I'm just going to stop watching. We're dreadful at it. Konch was so annoying last night. Morgan cant seem to pass it along the ground some games. Give Wood the ball to his feet so he and Nuge can get goals.

We have to score first. I imagine they will give us a really tough game.

[Dickov22]

I think the team will be:

Kasper

De Laet

Moore

Morgan

Schlupp

James

Drinkwater

Dyer

Mahrez

Wood

Nugent

[MrSpaM]

Full strength side please, lets get this done and dusted. 3 points and a QPR loss on Saturday means we've done it!

[Fridge lcfc]

Looking at the owltalk, what made me laugh was some guy saying that they are confident of scoring because we have Schmeichel in goal. Do they know nothing about our team or football in general.

Going for a 3-0 win with us playing same team as against burnley with the exception on Wood in for Vardy.
