Matchday Thread Sheffield Wednesday v PNE | 25.11.25 | KO:3PM | Championship

[Kathryn]

Need the first goal, we don't come back from behind

Sheffield United?

 

[rem]

Somebody suggested that Lindsay should be rested today to avoid him getting a yellow card which would lead to him being suspended for next Saturday’s game against Wrexham. I think this is not a bad idea as we need him to combat Kieffer Moore’s aerial ability next Saturday.

 

[rem]

Sheffield United 2 up after 4 mins away against Leicester! Cannon scored one.

 

[bloaty head]

Sheffield up 2 inside a few mins against Leicester, madness. Cannon again.

Sheffield United?

Only time it's happened since I believe Plymouth March 2024. Very very rare

 

[Bullmassive 61]

Cannon firing on all cylinders, well done Tom

 

[Big 1]

Possible 3rd place IF we win? If we are realistic playoff contenders today is a must win game. It won't be easy but no game is in this league. COYW'S!

It's so tight. Easy to rise and to fall right now.

You're right though, in that we really have to be winning this if we think we have a chance.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Team News.

 

[Grezzaball]

Surely Armstrong will be available next week then?

Assume we are just not taking any risks with him.

 

[HunterLionheart]

No Armstrong is rubbish news, but hopefully Whiteman and Thompson will be enough for an hour or so.

 

[OB1]

Fairs. Did not expect Thompson to start twice in week

What a surprise, manager was lying about Armstrong being ready

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Team News.

Probably the best side we could put out at the moment, gently easing Valentin back in.

Can’t wait for Armstrong and McCann to come back like but I think Thompson looked solid midweek, so could add something off the bench.

 

[york white]

Armstrong was clearly never going to be ready given he’s not made the bench. It’s a bit weird Hecky continuing the lies.

Anyway, COYW

 

[llanroc]

Why have we suddenly started putting 2 goalkeepers on the bench? Surely we have a young outfielder that could take one of the spots, and give him some matchday experience.

Could everton have had a say in it if his fitness was on the fence?

Gonna be a big miss this afternoon that's for sure though

 

[Bullmassive 61]

Why do we insist on two goalkeepers on the bench, why are none of the young lads not on bench if not just for match experience 🤔 Sheffield Wednesday have one more substitute than us and only one goalkeeper, there's something wrong somewhere

 

[HunterLionheart]

It's a bit odd, considering presumably Nolan and Gryba weren't playing U19 football today because they traveled with the squad?

Iversen gets injured after 10, Walton gets a red in the 61st (very unlikely like) and then you're putting an outfield player in net all for the sake of getting a young lad on the bench?

 

[Longshanks]

As others have stated, not a fan of PH continually lying in interviews. Needs to knock that on the head.

 

[northender2]

At least we have a full 9 subs this time, even if 2 of them are keepers
