Will Wednesday have a new manager again for the derby?

[Stretch]

I did see them today, and they were dire.

The question is, will there be changes before Friday?

Under any other chairman I'd say yes - manager sacked, perhaps another one already lined up (probably an Estonian or Albanian), experienced players brought back etc - but under Chansiri I really can see Wednesday going again with the same manager and players.

Unless the confrontations with supporters after the match have made his mind up? Equally as a stubborn twat that might have just hardened his mindset. Either way, surely they he can't afford to sack him with their ongoing FFP woes?

Yesterday was exactly what we DIDNT want to happen. He will shake them up and probably go back to basics. Any result for them now will be seen as a good one so expect a backs to the wall park the bus job with them hitting us on the break and throwing the big lump on towards the end.
An early goal and there plans out of the window is what we need

Fuck Wednesday, next Friday is all down to CW and giving our players a well-deserved kick up the arse. We've now lost at Middlebrough, Derby and Forest so we've hardly got a 'big game mentality'. We're ninth in the 'form guide' with ten points from the last 18, so aren't exactly flying.

We need to be 'there or thereabouts' at Christmas and next Friday's match gives us a chance to get back on track. Nothing more.

I'd take a 1-0 win now . Derbies are very rarely goal fests and teams in bad runs park the bus like February's game . So long as we get 3 points it's a good night

We don't win 1 nil very often, we need 3 clear goals to hang onto.

I just hope we can score early, 1) it will mean they have to play and can't just park the bus 2) their own fans may well turn on them

I'm 57% sure that we'll win.

Jos Luhakay's came in in January days before the derby and it raised Wednesday's performance. It looks like Jos' days at Hillsborough could be numbered. What odds Gary Megson being in the away dugout at Bramall Lane on Friday?

combined management team, of Guardiola, Mourinho and Klopp in the dug-out isn’t going to save that team of c***s.

they come into the game on friday now as lambs to the slaughter having been written off .
I'm worried.

What .... you mean it could be the end for ‘Promotion Specialist ‘ Jos ?

Megson? Extremely slim I would say.

I had to laugh when I was listening to an Owls fan on Praise or Grumble last night. He said that Jos has never lost a Yorkshire derby - so for that reason he should definitely be kept in the job for at least one more week. But that's how some fans genuinely think isn't it? They take a meaningless statistic like that as being a predictor of the future.

Anyhow...

I think Jos will be in the dugout on Friday because it will cost more money to get rid of him than put up with him. And they don't have much spare money knocking about. Not only that, but Jos is only doing what Chansiri tells him to do. So there's not much point in Chansiri sacking him because the relationship is like the one between Harry Corbett and Sooty. He's just going to have to find another glove puppet before people see that it's his fingers that are doing the actions.

Of course, if the fans start to turn on Chansiri then that will be different. No Chairman wants the fans to take aim at them - and that's why they employ "managers" or "coaches" to act as a form of "human shield". So, I could see Jos being fired in that circumstance - but not yet.

The heat in the kitchen hasn't risen to the point where the fans are shouting for Chansiri's head. That may change on Friday evening - but the chances are most fans will vent their spleen at Jos - and Jos will be gone on Saturday lunchtime. Assuming United win comfortably. Personally, I think we will have most of the play but create few chances and it will end in a disappointing draw for us Blades (but will feel like a win for them Owls).
