Beating Sheffield Wednesday

[TomandJerry]

As Wolves have shown us yesterday, Wednesday can be beaten,

What tactics would you use against them - if you were CH?

For me I'd watch the wolves match and see how and where Wednesday have weaknesses and attack through exactly the same channels

I think Wednesday made 10 changes from the previous week

You mean to say they rested all the good players?

It's going to be very tough to beat them, especially up there.
I'm less confident about beating Wednesday, than I was about beating Boro and look how that turned out.

No Foresteri, Hooper or Bannan, they're the three that I know of

So try get a draw at their place, with a hope of getting one goal and turn up the pressure at home?

We need an away goal or 2 to calm the nerves in the 2nd leg.

2-2 would be a good result, 0-0 just opens the heartbreak of Massive scoring at the Amex and going through on away goals even if we draw.

I'd take a draw Friday and a win Monday. That dire game against them a couple of months back taught us nothing.

There aren't away goals in the play-offs but agree, a goal or two at their place is what we must aim for.

Indeed, but I can never bring myself to say play for a draw, it's like saying they're better than us.
This is Sheffield Wednesday, the biggest club in the whole wide world, with the best fans to boot.

It matters not what we do against Wednesday as Mike Dean is apparently the ref for the play-off final, so we are not going up this year.

The forces are working against us!

Wednesday's result yesterday is insignificant as far as form guide is concerned (as were nearly all results apart from our game and the Burnley Charlton game).

We won't beat them at Hillsborough - we never do - but the fact that we've been scoring loads of goals at the Amex gives grounds for confidence.

You're joking ? How can he get the gig after yesterday

The premier league doesn't like us

There's a strong theory that if a ref makes a big decision in a game that he's a bit unsure of, he'll subconsciously favour the team it went against for the rest of the game. Maybe that will carry through into the final.

That makes me feel massively better.

The thought of an away goal by Wednesday at the AMEX was driving me drink

I'm genuinely surprised they have announced it this early.

Away goals? Do they count double?

I did say "apparently" in my post. I'm not 100% sure, just repeating what I'd heard elsewhere.

Apologies if not correct.
