How will Sheffield Wednesday approach the game on Friday?

What do you do if you've only got a 10% chance of scoring one goal and a 1% chance of scoring two?

Well, it doesn't appear to be overly difficult to stop us scoring.

Probably park the bus and hope to get lucky on the break.
Can't particularly see them taking it to us.

Just got to figure out how to get through them and win it.

Sheff Wed created as many good chances against us as anybody this season.
They will attack us and leave space at the back for us to expose.

They will back themselves to outscore us.

Just attack from minute one and for 90 minutes unless we are well in front. That means stop wasting our on time at every goal kick, throw in and corner for starters.

Start Edwards. We'd still have Benson to use as an attacking sub if and when Edwards is tired.

Get the whole outfield team 25 yards further up the pitch.

Give Roberts license to roam.

They've got a very highly rated manager with a modern pressing style from what I've seen. He'd be one of the first names on the list if Parker goes I reckon

I hope so, because we'll win it if they do.
(Provided we take our chances for a change :roll: )

Watching Leeds the other night probably reminded you as it did me that they played like us under Kompany when we went up. Relentless attacking, always on the front foot. That’s what we need to continue doing and Parker needs to be brave at times with his subs. If Jonjo is anywhere near fit he needs at least 30 mins, he can turn a game in an instant with his passing and shooting, he also needs to be taking any direct free kicks outside the box, he can certainly hit them. Likewise Edwards needs similar game time.

I'd have thought they'll be coming via the M65 rather than over the tops, so Trafalgar Street, Centenary Way, Yorkshire Street and onto Harry Potts Way has got to be favourite.

Not a bad prediction.

Weds, and their manager, impressed. The 2nd goal killed 'em off though, but up to that point they had been the better side overall. They'll be rueing their 1st half chances but our quality, through Cullen and Edwards, and then Brownhill, eventually showed. That's why we'll be right up there with a few games to go. UTC.
