[Briles]

A fairly ugly win but they all count.

Ref shite.

Godden complete passenger as usual. He is so lost in that role in this formation. I don’t understand why Robins keeps picking him. He’s not fast, not tall, not strong. What does he offer?

we play a lot of cut backs into the box and he’s a good finisher

Am I missing something, what did Palmer do?

1. Be black
2. Be skillful
3. Get fouled a lot
4. Win

It's South Yorkshire. I have lived there, really friendly people except for one thing, a lot are openly racist.

Wasn’t it also Wednesday fans that laughed about a 5 year old kid that died of cancer!

 

[robbiekeane]

The world is full of scum bags and everyone pretends that we are all a nicey nicey equal society but we have shit like this, we have Dabo getting racist abuse online, we have people on this forum saying Troy Deeney was a diversity hire, and people saying it’s funny to have flags that as well as joking about people dying in accidents also makes racist references to eating dog meat

Im fucking sick of it

p.s. I’m a straight white male so god knows how other people in our fan base feel

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Maybe Tavares for Godden, but I think throwing random kids in is a recipe for disaster. Will be interesting to see what team they put out as the league will be more important to them too.

Take your point but all 3 are training with the first team and playing regularly for the reserve sides. I'd at least like to see them on the bench.

Played well, got fouled alot and then racially abused because he kept the ball in the corner off 3 of their guys at the end

According to their forum he told the disabled section of fans to sit down? Most of them condemning the racist abuse but I'm honestly shocked by the amount of "Fuck him he deserved it" they've managed to cram into 4 pages so far.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

I reported it as hate speech. It looks like a system delete rather than the poster.

I reported it as well.

Im slightly confused my some of the Wednesdays fans abuse to palmer for "goading" them.

Yes it's a bit silly for a player to give some back. But it's hardly foul play and worth crying about. esp as he was clearly being given some early on int he match.

I will never ever understand why some football fans think they can chant and scream anything they like at a football player but then when a player has a go back, act like they just caught the player screwing their wife.

No idea. I think just take his time at throw ins and so on.

the way some of their fans are acting its as if he was calling them all names

 

[RegiswasGod]

Godden - 6 goals
Simms - 3 goals

We can all pick out stats but one stat doesn’t tell you anything, either way…

Godden started and chased / harried their defenders well, he forced mistakes and helped put them on edge leading to hurried clearances / turning over possession. Simms wouldn’t have offered that I doubt first half.

Simms came on when we needed a target man to aim for and hold the ball up, and it gave them something different to think about. He chased, and to be fair I think it’s the most I’ve seen him run after loose balls, but he was there to offer himself as an outlet not necessarily to run in behind, hence he had more touches coming towards the ball.

It has been said before - horses for courses, and both played their roles well today I thought.

Easy. Pop the common sense back in the drawer. Some of these idiots don't understand it

 

[Gleneagles65]

Worked hard and a fully deserved win, top six finish must be moving to odds on now.

Maybe he was just helping them keep their benefits?

Club and talk sport should cut any ties with that podcast

Is he saying racist abuse is ok if provoked by "winding up"?

Don’t think this is going to end well for Wednesday

 

[chiefdave]

You've already lost the argument if you're starting with "I don’t condone racism but"

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Sky Blue Army from the Wednesday end.

Absolutely fantastic following. Take a bow Sky Blue Army. Top top fans, home and away

 

[Hobo]

Nothing apart from calling out some sado racist in the crowd to the ref and stewards

Yes, they don't condone racism but they do.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Clearly something bad was said to Kasey early on. He's not going to randomly give shit to their fans for no reason.

Yeah something happened early on. as he looked a bit bemused at one point when walking past the fans on the touchline

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Football fans will scream abuse at players for 90 minutes every week and then act like they’re the scum of the earth when they give it back. Neanderthals.

3 points today and that’s your take from the game?

 

[CCFCSteve]

I wouldn't go that far. Lati and Torp yes, probably Allen, Binks, Simms will come in. Fancy us to win still.

mental when you look at the quality of those possible changes compared to the situation last season. Could wright be fit as well ?

 

[HerneBayGaz]

This pitch is shocking for a professional team

It will be still the same when they are in leave 1 as well

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Nice

Surely it’s you’re!

 

[AJB1983]

Bizarre that the Wednesday fans are saying he goaded them… if he said they were hit then he’s only saying what 29k of us thought on boxing day as well.
He wasn’t exactly asking to be called whatever he was called? Fucking morons.

We won't risk Wright before Bristol even if he is fit.

 

[Gint11]

What a beautiful win that is today. Under pressure now we’re 6th and delivered. We are serious

 

[Larry Fan]

Why aren’t players allowed to give it to the fans? MVE getting booked v Leicester for example. Surely if they can give it they can take it

It’s funny at grassroots especially under age games when players give it back
