Hoping that tomorrow a couple loan signings with experience can come in then we will be sorted and fine for the rest of the season....maybe richie wellens or a similar player. any other thoughts?


Can not see us recruiting any more with experiece. Think they will be 23 and under. However if 2 out of 3 of O'Grady, Madine and Maguire go out on loan every chance we could get one of strikers recently mentioned.

A transfer that was greatly speculated about during Summer but seemed to slip through the net... maybe we could not reach the personal demands, maybe another club offered more money, maybe Sheffield was not the ideal place to settle, but I pay my money like everybody else, and I for one want to know... where the flipping heck is this new score board?


Who cares, I would rather have money spent on team.


Is this another moan from same negative person. I know you wanted to run club as a Wednesdayite, just accept you messed up and can not move on.


I think more attempted sarcasm, give this chap a break, we can have laughs and moans but appreciate it could be worse, we could wear the red and white colours losing to yeovil week in and out uto xxxx


More important how much did we get for beevers


^ Brilliant. Agreed.


Just a joke lads calm down haha


Score board going spare at don valley

Rodri gone back to Barca B. wasn't good enough and unhappy in Sheffield.


'wasn't good enough' open your eyes mate he had clear quality and worked his socks off whenever he got a chance


Eyes open. Still wasn't good enough.

Can someone explain to me the youth loan system, firstly I thought a youth loan was for a month at a time, as with barkley, but we have now got helan on a youth loan for the rest of the season, and how does a 22 year old come under the youth ruling?


No idea bud think they just make the rules up as they go on.


You need to read Premier League handbook Section V and Football League rule book.


Helan is 20, says 22 on SWFC website but that's incorrect (quality admin haha)


 

 

30 Jan 2013 11:18:52
The latest few signings by DJ look extremely positive. I doubt he would have chose these players so I xcan only assume he's begun to listen to the fans so keep up the good work you loyal supporters and don't let him distroy us.


Poor guy, even when he does well you slate him.


Stop being so negative we are lucky to have MM and DJ and a Club with NO debts
Stop Moaning


What a load of rubbish.


Deluded DJ hater, any more last minute transfer tips mate?


I find it amazing they can not accept overall he has done a good job. Selective information is used to try and unsettle fans. I did not see any posts on here saying sign Helan before he came to club. Kirkland, Gardner, Lee, McCabe, Lita (and Antonio made permenant) all look good signings.
Lines, Coke, Prutton, Buxton, O'Grady, and Reda have all shown their best form under Jones.


Jones did well to get us promoted (big thanks to see Evans too).
Jones had a good start to this season and a great recent run. It was only between coaches Burton and Grey that he was rubbish.
Is there any truth in the rumour he commutes to Sheffield on thursday and returns home on saturday evening?


He goes home on Saturday evenings. He spends 5 days a week in Sheffield sometimes more if 2 games. May come back Monday and go home Wedesday and return on Thursday.


Who cares? With today's technology I can imagine he manages to stay in touch and delegate.


You sound like Craig David.


How do you know DJ's weekly routine?


DJ turned up on Tuesday
we were training hard by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday DJ chilled on Sunday
He met the team on Monday
took them training on Tuesday
we where training hard on Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday DJ chilled on Sunday


 

 

30 Jan 2013 10:33:13
With Blackman leaving the Blunts - they are asking for help from the Owls with taking Madine on loan for the rest of the season. DJ please say no


Id rather play for hallam then in pigsty lol uto xxxx ftb xxx


If I'm honest I don't think Blades would be interested in Madine in the slightest, and I don't think Madine would be too interested in playing for them either.


 

 

30 Jan 2013 10:02:28
Perhaps it is time for a little refllection. David Jones' reputation among fans swings alarmingly from being seen as the worst ever to "in Jones we believe". These extremes, of course, are a reaction to the latest handful of results, good or bad. He is either an absentee
manager or the man to put his stamp on the team. The broader view, looking back across this season and the end of last shows fairly clearly that he is heavily dependent on getting a decent coach. That is all right provided he can get and keep his man. Left to his own devices things go awry. He is neither the best nor the worst of
managers, but he is ours, warts and all, and, like the team, needs our support for as long as he is here.


Definitely.


 

 

30 Jan 2013 08:22:14
Good news! ... DJ says we won't be signing Godwillie or Marlon King !


Either of these two would have disrupted the squad that seems to be back together again - now you know who has gone!


Probably means that we are then after Helan incident - I know we offered 2 players for Goodwillie so I don't think that one is dead yet


How do you know we offered 2 players for goodwillie? Are you another one who has " connections" within the club?


 

 

29 Jan 2013 21:09:58
Helan back, lopes on his way, tevez being a legend......mancini is a wednesdayite


 

 

29 Jan 2013 20:33:42
hooray Helan is back for rst of season at s6


Confirmed on owls website great news!


Awesome.


Great news now we really have a chance to kick on, that really is some speed up front now, next 2 games both winnable and that would see us move up the table UTO eric the owl


Fast as lightening, damn ain't that frightening? Tee hee.
Nice one Eric.


 

 

29 Jan 2013 19:54:35
Rodwell? Why would city loan Rodwell to us? Every team below city would have him for a month. Jones needs another striker and a defender and we will be fine. Lita was a good bit of business. Pugh will be needed in some games. Up the owls....4 points from next two games would see us rise more.


 

 

29 Jan 2013 10:36:38
Would like to see clayton donaldson at hillsboro


He, s another who said he dint want to join us a coupla seasons ago


Do not like him as a player.


 

 

29 Jan 2013 10:31:46
I just watched the video and oh my god Thomas Prager is useless, the video is of his best bits but may as well have bin of his fluff-ups and over heavy touch, this guy wouldn't have a prayer in my sunday league side if DJ signs this bloke its totally and utterly corrupt because even I can see he's no where near the mark!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7Wgj09Pwtw


Please give me some of the stuff you're on mate you had a bang on the head.


Obvious our lead poster on this thread had talent similar to Messi but missed his way. Only a foold would prnounce somebody good or bad having watched a players highlights on a you tube clip.


 

 

29 Jan 2013 00:05:41
Rodri, Mayor, Pecnik, Taylor, Maguire, Mattock, Corry...

Seven players here. I can't think of a decent performance from any of them yet.. What the hell are we playing at? Thoughts anyone on what's happening with them?


Paul Corry is a good prospect for futer


Maguire never played!
Corry is young, and ran the Leeds match, he will develop as will mayor not been given the chance yet.

Mattock won us the game at Bolton, if it wasnt for him we would of definately conceded. Reda was out on his feet. Pecnik still promising, can tell he has talent. Rodri stuck in the wrong country.


Next time you post something like this. Make sure you know your team!!


McGuire has played a few matches. Never produced much.


Meaningless post.

Tired of all the negative comments on here. Eveybody is entitled to their opionion which is fair enough but for gods sake just put that aside every saturday and support the lads AND dave jones. Yes he's made some awful signings but who hasnt...chelsea- shevchenko, mutu.man u-bebe, taibi.liverpool-carroll so lets give the guy a break. As for fans calling MM tight, he has put a lot of money into us and got us out of financial trouble and now stable. We have had some very bad times under richards/allen but we are now rebuilding. In DJ and MM (some) we may not trust but we SUPPORT. Milan mandaric is the best thing to happen to this club for years so come on lads....were all wednesday arent we?


Yes we are, and a good post. The negs are proper arses.
They can't deal with being wrong and trying to find any angle to promote their twisted views.
Pathetic.


Absolutely agree with secod post.


I am not interested in ANY other team than Wednesday

Dave Jones is ripping us all off, we all have to work and put a full shift in

He works 3 days a week!

If he was so commited he would move up here but he knows sooner or later he will be sacked and that's why he hasn't moved

No Passion No Personality Arrogant and not wanted


Daft post above from one of the negatives. Not sure what they want, DJ comes across as reasonable bloke to me. Would love to know if he was one of the Wedesdayite brotherhood who helped take us to brink.


^^ The guy is absolutely clueless. Although, I am sure it's a stealth Blunt.


The great Brian clough dint spend every day at club. He trusted his staff. Dj is no clough but if we continue to improve wot difference does it make if he only works 3 days a week. And you can bet he works from home also


A stealthy blunt, I get impression of Trigger in a dirty raincoat.


With some of commets made by Trigger thought they had fitted him with Blinkers.


Where would we be without gray, everyone thinks jones is doing it on his own, give gray some credit please.


Just like every footy manager really. Coaching staff counts for a lot.
Give it a rest.


Stuart Gray is the reason we have picked up, he is the brains behind organising us as a team

DJ still on trial as a Manager

Without a decent coach and left on his own he struggled, however lets see how new recruits and Helan do for us

Up the Owls


I agree Stuart Gray has made us into a team

Dave Jones was lost on his own


Who brought Gray to club, oh it was Dave Jones who knew him from previous job.
What were Grays perfomance like at other clubs when he did not work with DJ? Not very good is the answer.
Where did he do well? When he worked as coach with DJ.
Think this says it is more about partnership than individuals when you come to coaching.


I could'nt care less as long as we re winning and and at the moment we re winning and doing well of late so i'm happy. original poster has a point if we was still same off as before christmas but we re not on we ve made a few good signings, so shut up be happy and support your team


 

 

28 Jan 2013 14:57:58
scotland signs for barnsley xx


Do you think we should of gone for scotland? owls about that?


Nope, Lita would have been a better prospect.


 

 

28 Jan 2013 13:00:19
cant help wondering where we would have been in the league if we had replaced Terry Burton quickly with Gray as we had that dire run inbetween the 2 appointments - hope this now gives us a good foundation for next season - onwards and upwards WTID


But if Burton was so good and Gray is making us click what the hell does Dave Jones actually do?

We have certainly improved since Gray came onboard

So the planning and practice is done on the training ground by Gray

Does DJ just turn up for games then?


He comes up to Sheffield on thursday and goes back home after the match home and away.
Coaches take training in the week, DJ rarely visits training ground.
No info on what he does when we have a midweek match, never thought to ask till now.


The only thing dj does is blame everyone else when it go's wrong. UTO.


Runing a football team is more than a one man job. Like DJ but you can not see him on training pitch to demostrate his ideas. Think that is where problems where. Players are now playing their position instead of where they felt like it. Only one not doing so is Reda but when he turns up at centre forward and scores you can forgive that. Reda absence was also a factor look at results when he's played against when he is absent.


So what we are discussing here is then that Stuart Gray takes training, does formations and practices set pieces attacking and defending

Dave Jones is not here to discuss his ideas, I think if we can manage without him taking training and do without his ideas we could actually do without him completely

When he was on his own he was useless and we lost the plot completely in every department

So all you Dave Jones fans who think I am being negative, yes you can have your opinions, but on his own he gives us nothing

The Players he brought in and never played, look at Lee, never got a chance till Gray came, Lee has been fabulous

I am looking forward to the day Dave Jones buggers off because he is a con man, ask the Cardiff fans!


Management is all about delegation.


Blunts in disguise.
Well done to DJ for turning it around and making the neg posters look like proper tools.
They are grasping at straws now. It's called digging your own grave.
How embarrassing.


The only thing you do is blame DJ when it goes right.


Talking Rubbish it's all about team work
and all good manages let the coaches take most of the training.
Get behind SWFC instead of looking for the negatives


Ask the Wolves fans as well

Smoke and Mirrors


Being a manager is easy made play offs wi owls on football manager so don't anyone tell me its hard, lol


I bet Fergie tells his coaches what to do and he works 6 days a week and you see him at training

Dave Jones part time manager that's why we struggled he needs other people round him to do his job

Get rid ASAP


Nope, he knows his limitations and is surrounding himself with competent staff.
Managerial skills.


I posyted what the DJ knocker would find to grumble at and low ad behold the teacake has come up with a part time slant. Never heard such rubbish.


Yep, I agreed.


 

 

28 Jan 2013 07:32:22
How much did we get for beavers ???


Probley 2 quid? x


 

 

27 Jan 2013 19:49:19
Been on the pfa transfer list and there are some decent players still out of contract i.e ricardo gardener, brian howard, salif diao just naming a few.gardener could definatly do a job...bags of experience and all free......also old owls steve haslam, matt hamshaw and sean mcallister available lol


Brisn Howard? No thanx. Good a few yrs ago at Barnsley but done nowt for a long time. He couldn t even make his mark wiv the blunts so that must tell you somethin. Hope mcallister finds a club, good genuine trier


The players you've mentioned are the players we should be avoiding. They would be after one last pay packet and even in there prime they was'nt even that good. You would be the worst scout ever.


Have to agree that these are players we should avoid. I prefer players who are wanting to advance careers and have something to play for. Very small percenatge of those at end of career give everything and like last post looking for a bit of a final pay off.


 

 

27 Jan 2013 13:42:33
so happy we got lita not earnshaw


Don't count your chickens we might end up with both yet


That would be good if we had them both


 

 

27 Jan 2013 09:21:44
Give MM credit for sticking with DJ
He saved our club and we should trust his judgement he can't explain all his motives all the time
Also he is making MASSIVE changes behind the scene's
which will put swfc on a sound footing for the future.


Excellent comment I've always said stick with DJ he will turn it around goes to show what a bit of a good run does for us he's the best man for the job so all the DJ moaners you know who you are will you put one word on your next comment SORRY, ME OWD THE OWL WTID


, we'll said. Doubt they would be man enough for that.


Well said I was all for DJ when he was appointed thought he was the best man for job but end of November il admit I thought it was time for him to go as it seemed like he had lost the dressing room but credit to MM he stuck by him and its now paying off with recent results! So to MM & DJ i'm SORRY


Well I have not been happy with a lot of things that have happened this season, and I have had my share of knocking DJ but he does seem to be turning it around and that is the important thing so I am quite happy to eat humble pie and say sorry, but I have also said I don't think we would go down we might moan but never lose the faith eric the owl UTO


Dave Jones will NEVER be a good manager so long as he's got an hole in his A$$!!!

You lot will settle for second best every time


Well done mr gray another good result uto


Do we know what the huge changes are behind the scenes.


I'm not a DJ fan and I've criticised him a lot this season. Wednesday have done best when he's had an able coach to help him so I draw my own conclusions from that.
That said, what we need now is to keep the support up until the end of the season. That's our best chance of staying up. Any necessary changes can be made once we're safe. JR


Think the architect of anti wednesday comments has revealed his true colours with post above. Think we all knew he was a weed or blunt.


I don't think we are out of the woods yet but recent results have been impressive but ill apologise wen we are safe an not until wtid


Transparent mate.
Also, Eric, you have had a few moans, but realistic ones and not bitter twisted rants that the few real negs have made.


Seventeen points out of last 8 games only Cardiff with better return in the division. That level of form is guaranteed promotion level so extremely impressive. If we were coming from better base we would be in for play offs. Have read other teams blogs and their comments on Wednesday have chaged dramatically over last month, we are now earning respect.


Thanks mate agree I've had a few moans but most of it is just passion for the club I have always loved, We have had some bad fortune over the last few years but, the wheel turns round and hopefully that is all behind us now and we can look forward and move on to better things UTO eric the owl


 

 

27 Jan 2013 09:05:55
Another fantastic result against a team higher in the league
Garry who well done dj


Do you mean Gary Megson, an Owl who has played for, managed and supported the Owls all his life!
Who lifted us out of the mire we were in and brought most of the players in to the club that got us back on the right road and calls the club US and not YOU.
Have some respect please, he and his family are a proud part of our history and always will be!


You are correct Megson deserves respect, and has always given his all. You highlighted his major weakness he is subjective rather than objective in his dealings with Wednesday which led to his downfall. Also the bit about players brought in is overdone.


 

 

27 Jan 2013 08:46:48
Just watched mk Wednesday beat qpr in cup. Lowe looked very good. Potter and bothroyd scoring. Also ostemabor


 

 

27 Jan 2013 02:18:30
I rate Lita and think he is a great signing especially given the circumstances, but I can't lie I (along with a lot of others) thought the same about Bothroyd haha


 

 

27 Jan 2013 00:55:04
Cause we've got Lita; who is an amence signing. Are we just forgetting about Earnshaw and moving on? cause I would really love him being at the Owls, as he's been one of my favorite players for years! and I don't know what to think of Pugh, I liked Helan a lot cause of his goal he scored against charlton and his pace is great against the defenders in the championship. UTO Hopefully Lita will score more for us!


Earnshaw has been past sell by date for several years. Agree he was once good but so was Boothroyd, Jeffers etc.


 

 

26 Jan 2013 17:43:58
Whatever else Lita does he has managed as many goals in 40 odd minutes as Bothroyd did in his entire spell. Well done to the lads great victory. Even the FA cup defeat doesn't look so bad when you see how the Franchise turned over QPR. Oh and the piggies got hammered! Great day.


Yes, maybe the best result of the season so far.


Why mention Boothroyd?


Are we gettin any other players this month any info


Yes 2 yougsters according to DJ plus a couple going other way.


Marcos lopez.


"Why mention Boothroyd?"..................My guess would be because that was part of his point?.


If I remember rightly i'm sure jones said he was after 2 strikers in rotherham star.


What positions are the youngsters any names and I prese they'll be loans


Boothroyd was a pointless analogy and made commet sound like grudging praise.


No names just said 2, I suspect one will be a forward and Man City players good guess. Lopez already linked and he would be great.


Who's this Marcos Lopez were after if he's any good we won't get him


Marcos lopes 17 think he's portugese winger of some sort. well some form of midfielder, apperently a sprinter? who man city bought at 16 but needs him to gain experiance is tipped to be the next ronaldo if given the playing time. maybe.


Marco lopez doubt 2 strikers


And lopez lm/lw


Apparently can't sign Lopez needs to be 18 to go out on loan


 

 

26 Jan 2013 17:11:04
I seem to remember the moaers on here saying Ipswich had acted and brought in McCarthy ad saying we should have done this. Oops we are now above them in league. Can not imagine what they are going to moan about this week.


I totally agree.
Do you think that these fans are happy that we are winning or p***ed off because they are wrong?


Mccarthey always bin vastly overrated.naver wanted him uto


Just goes to show how little they know. Brilliant.


Unhappy they are wrong.


That was my opinion also mate.


To be fair though I think Ipswich was a tougher job than wednesday to turn round.
I think our problems were more bothroyd and confidence and tactical problems.
Where as Ipswich had a poorer squad.
I think he will keep them above the other 3 though but i'm glad we stuck with jones.


I think a lot of us got hot under the collar about Bothroyd

OK Dave Jones you cocked up with Bothroyd but well done for the new signings so far

Come on WEDNESDAY


It wasn't the signing of Bothroyd that was the problem it was DJ's picking him week after deplorable week, when DJ saw he didn't want to play he should have left him out of squad.


You don't know why he was been picked.
You don't know what his contractual arrangements where either.


Don't really care what arrangements were in place with QPR, our club and our results come first.
What the hell were we doing agreeing to a deal that says we have to play him, if that's true?
In any case he should have dropped him full stop, no one player is bigger than the club, especially somebody elses player!
We are still recovering from that JB period and probably will be for rest of season, lets hope we've learned a lesson.


Then he should have ripped up the contract, he cost us valuable points, we could have been mid-table pushing for play-offs, bad buisness practise if a player can ho;d a team to ransom like that


How bitter can you really be, to still be going on about Bothroyd?
Is that all you moaners have left to hold onto?
Winging over points already lost instead of being happy about a fantastic away win.
Pitiful.


Very bitter, because what Bothroyd did was, still is, and will be until the end of the season, very pertinent to our position in the league, now, and for the remainder of the season, he cost us valuable points or do think differently


If you sign a contract you have to honour it and yes we had to pick him if he was fit. We agreed to this because QPR paid vast majority of his wages. Also the vast majority who post on Wednesday thought he was a great signing a few have come on here and admitted this. So grow up use your brain and realise situation. Look at DJ comments when he went back certainly says he was not satisfied. If we broke contractual arrangements sanctions could be imposed on club and recruiting other players going forward would be a nightmare. Also to reduce overheads DJ decided not to replace TB but promote PW. This is his poorest decision and he corrected by brining in SG. It is difficult to demote your mate you promoted and shows he his prepared to make extremely difficult decisions.


Respect. Great post.


 

 

26 Jan 2013 12:50:03
How can Rebecca be only 3 miles from you when she is 3 miles from me in Sleaford ?


Brilliant mate, fit tho` int she ?? wawa


She lokks different every time


Personally would go extra mile for Sara.


What? .


Sarah lives 4 miles away. They must think Pleat is still our manager.


^ brilliant post


I prefer the single mum! Disappointed tho this morning as she's been switched to a graze box.


 

 

26 Jan 2013 12:27:11
Has helan gone to watford


Not yet but he will do


 

 

26 Jan 2013 09:23:08
were tryong to resign helan on loan but watford have decided to hijack our bid and are offering more for a permanent move. this is just like ben marshall isn't it


Chin up owls fans at least rebecca is only 3 miles away


Rebecca?


Being a weed or a blunt you probably prefer Parky.


I prefer Sarah


 

 

26 Jan 2013 02:43:24
Helan may end up at Watford, however he did state the Hillsbrough felt like home to him, is that enough for DJ to lure him in till the end of the season?


 

 

26 Jan 2013 02:40:43
It would be nice to see Franck Songo'o back at Hillsborough... With Antonio getting tips from Fowler and looking to be filling in the ST role it would be nice if DJ and MM could pick up Franck and have him help us bang them in.
