Match Day Thread Owls Vs Canaries

Never done one before, but here's the BBC's preview of the match:

Sheffield Wednesday are likely to again utilise some younger players when they finish their season at home to Norwich.

Jos Luhukay's in-form side have won five of their past eight matches and drew 0-0 against champions Wolves at Molineux in their most recent outing.

Norwich are without Mario Vrancic (groin) and Alex Tettey (knee), while centre-back Grant Hanley (ankle) is a doubt for the trip to Hillsborough.

Victory will secure a top-half finish for Daniel Farke's Canaries.

On mobile so can't post lineup, but surprised to see Nelson start, and no youngsters included. Finishing ahead of Ipswich prioritised?

 

Great opportunity to give one or two of the youngsters a chance and I'm beginning to wonder if all the talk by SW/DF is just talk!!!!
We'll have to wait till pre-season to see if any do get their chance. #notholdingmybreath

 

1- down

 

Making it look easy for Owls!!!

 

4 down sack the German .

 

10 CORNERS BEFORE WE GET A SHOT AT GOAL FROM ONE. THEY HAVE ONE CORNER AND SCORE. 19 SHOTS AT GOAL, ONLY TWO ON TARGET.

 

Thank f*ck this season is finally over.

I have not been this despondent about my beloved Canaries since the dark Rodent days

 

So there you have it... we’ve been 8 goals better than you this season!

 

Enjoy the moment - the best you have had for many-a-year

In reality it does not say much, considering how shot shy we have been all season

 

No movement on what I think of the Manager. He’s clueless. This season has been a mess. Not because of a re-build, coz we still had some class players. Who have fell off a cliff performance wise.

5-1. Against Wednesday?! Are you kidding me?! Jesus. What an embarrassment. Finish bellow Ipswich. The only aim we had left, and he f*cked that up as well. Even the bare minimum we hoped was too much for this manager.

 

I am guessing you want him to go (I have not read much on here recently). I have to join forces with you and would not shed a single tear or even feel in the slightest sorry for him if he was given his marching orders tomorrow morning. From what little I have seen and read this season, he is way out of his depth

 

Ambitions for the season.

Play attacking attractive exciting football 2-10

Score goals 2-10 we have 2 strikers and they are both garbage.

Solid defence 5-10 although the hard work and 1-0 wins have all but gone and we finished over minus 10 gd.

Top 6 finish 0-10 never looked likely

Progress for next season 2-10
All of our good players will probably be sold .

The most boring season ever and still the one of the most expensive to watch.

Don’t want him to go atm.

I don’t have any belief in him, I don’t think he has any tactical intelligence and forgets he can make subs.

Not saying I want him to go, but wouldn’t care less if he left now.

 

In all honesty, as I´ve been saying all along, he should never ever have been appointed, and for that we can thank Webber, god knows what he was thinking about. Whether now is the right tíme to get rid is hard to know, but one thing is certain, if next season from day one, isn´t a complete turnaround, he´ll have to go, and possibly Webber with him, before any more damage is done.

This has been the worst and most depressing, uninteresting NCFC season, I can remember.

 

To be fair to DF he's done no worse than AN with a lot less money.

 

Yea, I’ve said this kind of thing a fair few times and been tore into. I’m guessing you won’t be, but I agree. He seems clueless. He seems to have got the job because he was a youth coach at Dortmund.

I said at the time and in times after. Just coz Kloop and Wagner were good, doesn’t mean every single one is.

 

He seems a lovely camp little bloke, but he doesn’t seem to know much about how matches go, and that you can change things if you want

 

Maybe not, ( although I happen to think he has) but that´s still very little consolation. Whether one is poor or just slightly less poor, hardly makes much difference, as far as I can see.

 

He has done worse. Look at the league finish and where Ipshit are.
