Sheffield Wednesday F.C. v Derby County F.C.

[Pottig]

Preaching to the choir but where are the changes? Only 20 minutes to go.

[Nuwtfly]

Don't have many things to criticise Rowett for, but timing his substitutions is one of them.

Joking aside, it's a bit of a shame. I really thought GR had got the players out of the 'fear of promotion' mindset, but they are definitely lacking confidence and cohesion. For what ever reason ??

I fear we’ll need someone a tad more adventurous than Captain Cautious to rid the players of your “fear of promotion” mindset, maybe someone who see games winnable as opposed to not losing them. He should have had them stamping their authority as soon as we hit second instead of his Steady Eddie approach in my opinion.

Defeat will do us good start the unbeaten run from scratch next game takes the pressure off being ‘unbeaten’

This is not the team of "bottlers". There's nobody left from those distant days of 4 seasons ago. 

Unless we have hereditary bottling in the dcfc atmosphere

I can't remember the last time we played well, we will be in or around the playoffs but automatics are too much for us. We haven't played great football for the majority of the season.

[Nuwtfly]

Need a goal. Palmer, Lawrence and Jerome on the bench. Rowett brings on Anya...

[rad1919]

I don’t think anyone actually believed we would get top 2. Saturday at home should have been a full house, the place should have been rocking helping the promotion push. Awful attendance and awful atmosphere pretty much summed up the air of resignation around the place and this must translate to the players. Too many false dawns has created this unfortunately.

Keo...oh.my....

[Millenniumram]

Anya for ledley?? As if things weren’t bad enough we’ve got a winger with no goal threat, and Johnson is defensive mid!

Weimann through on goal 1v1 with the keeper. . . Hits it straight at him. . .

he had a free header in the first half, any toward any corner and it’s a goal, heads it wide. 

End product, always been the same with the likes of weimann, Russell, Lawrence etc. Still stand by that we should have bought in a quality winger in January 

It chose to go to a German side instead

We just need to stay in the top 6 and try to find out what our strongest team is for the play offs.

Bizarre, doesn’t make any sense. Nigel Clough esqe

[CWC1983]

This is the problem with Gary's preferred style of play. 

Win some games and go unbeaten then fans will put up with the pragmatic element of the play. 

Start losing some or drawing some then fans will be quicker to turn.

Don't worry, if we do get promoted the extra 5 or 6 thousand will come out the woodwork and be the first to boo when we lose at home to man city.

What about last season?

[Rev]

It took me a while to climb aboard the Rowett express, so I'm not jumping off at the next available stop.

But if we carry on as we are, our last stop will be Luton Parkway, not Wembley.

[Gritstone Ram]

I am scratching my head a biyt at some of the decisions Rowett makes. Sometimes I think he's losing the plot.
