AntrimBlack Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Bruce's inherent caution when faced with important games would worry me. However, I still think we will go up in second. We are good enough, just need the leadership to show now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a good feeling about this game , a week ago I felt this was the banana skin of the 3 and we would get 4 points from the other 2 games - now we need a win today . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Wednesday have 16 players out injured But Wednesday’s treatment table is considerably bigger with no fewer than 16 players expected to miss tomorrow’s match at Hillsborough. Despite having an array of striking options on the books - including Jordan Rhodes, Gary Hooper and Steven Fletcher - Luhukay didn’t name a recognised striker in his starting XI as the Owls were beaten 2-1 at Millwall in midweek. Star players Keiren Westwood, Tom Lees, Sam Hutchinson, Kieran Lee, Barry Bannan, Hooper. Fletcher and Fernando Forestieri are all set to miss out which means Villa will come up against an extremely depleted Wednesday team. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-wednesday-injuries-rhodes-hooper-14330961#ICID=ios_BMNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other Edited February 24, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Too much doom and gloom for my liking ! When Barry Bannan, decent though he is, is regarded as a major injury blow to them it highlights the fact that there IS a gap ( not a gulf) between the two Clubs. We have plenty of talent. Wednesday are not Top side and - surely - we have at least SOME faith in a Manager who got 7 Wins in a row ? I foresee a decent performance and a good Win.

Zatman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 When I said this was tough run of games I thought we might drop a couple points this is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think we will probably have another winning run between now and the end of the season and just stagger over the line in to the play offs to negate all the dropped points we are accruing now.

Dodgyknees Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 3 bad performances with three team selections which helped the opposition. Undoing all that good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Spend months closing a 7pt gap and then throw it away in 3 games Really frustrating I'm not sure we can do it again Edited February 24, 2018 by DCJonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Its one thing being cautious or defensive and getting a clean sheet......but we don't. too Jeykll and Hyde for us to have any serious ambitions. we could end up taking one point out of a possible 12 from Brentford and Sheff Wed......not good enough. .......Oh ME of little faith Edited February 24, 2018 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be down to the quality we have and lack of coaching and consistent approach for me. We have top quality so we can put together these runs, but we lose a couple to injury or confidence dips and we don't have that consistent approach and game plan to fall back on. Need to make something happen and stop this slump. Its why i felt the preston game was going to be a big game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We'll probably scrape 6th going into he playoffs with zero confidence and get pilloried 5-1 on agg by Fulham. It was good while it lasted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
