Massive result that with QPR winning at Blackburn. Ahem, watching the results Mr. Moore?

Not a good day to be a Sheffield supporter. 8 goals conceded in two halves of two different games.

Bramall Lane has cleared nearly as quick as the JSS away end today.

Like rats and a sinking ship.

Alex Matos got Man of the Match. No arguments with that, I thought he was brilliant.

Well, well, we’ll. after the first hour all I could see was my predicted 0-0 score line.

It wasn’t good and both sides were showing just why they have struggled this season.

The highlight of the first half was Lee Nicholls rollocking the centre backs in first half stoppage time telling them to get up top for the free kick, little to nothing in direction from the bench at this point.

Second half swung into life from and old routine and just after I said to my pal that set pieces were going to be our best chance of scoring especially as our 2 centre forward January signings had gone off to join Holby City Huddersfield edition. Anyway good determination by Matty Pearson and it 1-0 Terriers. I’m claiming the assist.

From that point onwards Wednesday collapsed like Town have done many times this season. Wide open suicidal defending for the second, quick thinking by Hogg and what a ball, control and finish from Sorba.

The final goal was comical defending at its best. Shocking back pass that Koroma got to first who skips by CoCo the Keeper and with an open goal he decides not to shoot instead coming back inside where he gets the rub of the green with a tackle. Meanwhile CoCo the Keeper shoves our player over in the box before doing the best comedy dive (the wrong way) ever allowing Koroma to slot home.

It’ll take time to turn this team around and the way they play, let’s hope Healey isn’t out long, I expect Bojan to miss next week with concussion protocol but next week is a free hit as I expect nothing points wise.

As for the next manager, should Worthy be in the running. Not for me.

Has anyone heard any snippets about the new manager?

I've only heard what's in the press really. I've heard duff was on the end of a bit of a revolt at Swansea due to his playing style, but I think the style he had a Barnsley might be a touch more town than Swansea. My only issue is, how much better or different is he to Moore?

[theo_luddite]

I would say his style is more Warnock (without the charisma) than Pep, Klopp or Russell Martin, who the Swansea fans liked for his keep-ball playing style. I'm sure there's plenty who would have preferred more wins though from both of them.

Town move above Boro in The Yorksha League with this win.

Liverpool's defending at Arsenal today was straight out of Wendies 2nd half play book from yesterday.

[Lord Snooty]

Well, you may have heard the commentator on ITV mention that the win against the Wednesday was our biggest win over them since 1934. So it is, but not the biggest. I concentrated on all the goal less draws in my Head to Head section this time, so just to fill in a few blanks for you......

That 4-0 win in the 34/35 season was played at Leeds Road with a crowd of only 14,913 there. We were bottom of the First Division, but ended the season in 16th. Wednesday finished 3rd behind Arsenal and Sunderland. Our goals came from Alf Lythgoe, Albert Malam, Jackie Williams and Ken Willingham.

The win took us off the bottom of the table, but the crowd was even smaller in a fortnight's time when Liverpool were the visitors. A famous day for us, tonking the Reds 8-0 for a scoreline that is still their record defeat, equalled only in 1954 when they got beat 9-1 at Birmingham.

Albert Malam, in his only season at Leeds Road, scored a hat trick against Liverpool.

Hope we can follow this up with an 8-0 win in a fortnight's time.

Our biggest wins over Sheff Weds came in 1927 (5-0 at home) and 1932 (6-1 at home).
