Sheffield Wednesday v Charlton Athletic Match Thread

Hillsborough is in more of a valley than your swamp. There is a full blown river running round the back of the Leppings Lane end.

Just cos us northerners (unlike our southern cousins) don't go into melt down as soon as there is a drop of rain, a slight breeze or god forbid a flake of snow doesn't mean we get no weather up here.

 

Sheffield United/Nottingham Forest v Sheffield Wednesday/Charlton Athletic in Round 6

 

Que sera sera...

 

Good thing we're away from home. Ebbsfleet's ground isn't big enough for this one.

 

Love Jackson's response to the draw:

@johnnie_jackson: No pressure then.Take Sheffield down single handedly and Wembley is ours....I got this

 

Oh dear Glory....yes indeed the Don..... more of a stream really

Take a look to the left next time you are in the Valley and you will see a real river

 

Yeah, I don't know what all the fuss is about down here in the south.

 

so this has been rearranged for monday the 24th. moves the barnsley game in to march.

in march we have 9 league games!

 

Big chance of the match being televised now... Depends on Brighton v Hull not going to a replay

 

In March we trust !!

 

2 days after QPR.... hope Wednesday are playing saturday too, or sunday would be nice ha

 

Hopefully we'll start Marching up the table then!

Where's my coat?

 

What do we think the line up will be tonight then? I'm going for:

Hamer
Wilson - Morro - Wood - Evina
Cousins - jackson - Poyet - Astrid
Sordell - Reza

Sheff Weds are on a decent run, but really think we will go and get a draw minimum. But I'll be optimistic and say 1-0 to us - Jackson getting the goal.

I know Sordell will raise some question marks, but just think Church or Reza will be rested, and think SC will be the man to make way to try and give Gucci another game to adapt to English football.

Evina still seems to be the natural replacement for Wiggins, despite Lennon doing a decent job and Fox waiting in the wings.

The midfield concerns me a little. Does JJ have the legs for 2 games in 2 days? Some say that Cousins looks slightly burned out, given his tough introduction to first team football. I just can't see what other players can come in.

 

i did think cousins' legs had gone towards the end of the game on saturday. he looked really puffed out. i'd say put astrit in instead, and then polish pete in instead of church.

bring church on towards the end

 

Hamer;
Cousins;Morro;Lennon;Wiggins;
Wilson;Hughes;Astrid;Harriott;
Tudgay;Pete(or Goochi)

Saving Poyet and Jackson for the League.

 

Tudgay isn't available, Billy. Was signed after the original FA cup date.

 

Don't think we should play Wiggins, if he picks up an injury can you imagine Evina against Leicester on Saturday.

 

Agree with this line up. It will create chances at this level - what we need now is stability and no tinkering.

I am just about to set off in the car for Sheffield ....I know I am a mug but I just love the Club

 

i'd go with

hamer
hughes wood lennon evina/fox
green pritchard astrid harriotts
church polish pete/sordell

you can tell i'm prioritising the league?

 

Fox was on the bench saturday, he may have overtaken Evina in the pecking order. Our two other young LB prospects, Holmes-Dennis and Edwardes, are both playing midfield now.
