I will front up for this one, as feel this is a must win game. Finally, I hope this is one game too far for Mr Bannan against ourselves.
But bloomin 'eck, a midday kick off.
And for the Sheffield fans to get there. One of these days, we will all have to get to the ground immediately after our full english breakfast. Its hard to get into a game so early in the day and think actually it generally shows similar for all players also.
Despite that, I do believe we will win comfortably, three nil, perhaps. But if its a loss, the natives will certainly be getting restless and a happy new year, it won't be.
So for me, a three nil win - Burrell with two and Cook with the other !!!
Don't want to consider any other possible outcomes !!
C'mon you Rrr's....

2 pages in and I am not sure if this thread is a joke or serious regarding Bannan .Its not Messi or Ronaldo in their prime its just an old guy while excellent on the ball cannot beat us on his own.
We need to score early that will put them on the back foot and allow us to get a few more to salvage something from this horrible week and a half.

Didn't he beat us on his own at ours last year?
Gerard Houllier who knows a thing or too about football when describing him said he played football like Xavi & Iniesta apparently.
Seems a long long time since we've had a dominant Central Midfielder. |  | | |

The only thing I’d definitely do tomorrow, and I think it’s more important than any formation or other selection, is have Sam Field man mark Barry Bannan all game. Literally stand on his toes for 90 mins.
If Bannan is stopped, Wednesday will lose. Everything else tactically is of secondary importance. Field gets about the pitch, can tackle and is bigger than Bannan. Have him do that job, and make it a 10v10 game. We’ll win then.
I suggested this to someone at the club before the away game and was laughed at, as Bannan was some kind of geriatric footballer who holds no influence. Odd. |
Agreed what he needs to do today is pick an extra midfield player and change to 4-3-3, we lost the game in midfield against Norwich let's not repeat the process. My fear is that JS will say he needs a week on the training ground before making that sort of change, if so he needs to realise he has some very experienced players in the squad who theoretically can adapt to a new system. | | | |

Looking at the odds, Sheffield wed are 7 to 1 to win, and a draw is 15 to 4. I'm tempted to bet on both to try and buy a rangers win | | | |

This is QPR, we lose 6-1 to Blackpool and win 1-0 at Burnley, lose to Swindon Town x 2, so
….Sheffield Wednesday - negative points, good as relegated, Bannan running the show….
QPR 5 Sheffield Wednesday 1
I would like a clean sheet but our goalkeeper crisis I say we will let in one |  |

Three pages and we don’t even have the team selection yet !
The Omens are good - 6:6 with the first goal in the 6th minute. Lots of new head tattoos and some dodgy priests in attendance.
I’ll call the hyena mother.

Hamer back in. I wish I had any idea what the thinking is behind rotating two average keepers, but there you go. Consistency of defensive players being selected may help improve things?! |  | | |

The QPR tombola well and truly out of retirement
Rotating goalkeepers is a total nonsense |  | | |

Bizarre, isn’t it ? Nardi did fine the other day. Made some decent saves to prevent a wider distance in the score line.
I’m not sure why Hayden’s been dropped either. Why not simply add Varane or Field to make It a three and give Burrell a rest.
Then there’s Saito…starting again. I get the Poku change but come on. [Post edited 4 Jan 10:55]

442 again, Hayden dropped. Makes no sense. |  |

Quite. I don't think I've ever known a manager who is actually producing decent results overall, but whose plan is difficult to understand and selections so bizarre. I really don't understand how some players (Nardi, Cook, Field, Smyth, Hayden etc) are going to get any consistency of performance or how good / poor performances are rewarded. Hayden and Nardi did fine on NYD compared to most, Smyth got a well-earned start but couldn't get into the game and now gets ditched, Poku's cameo was OKish....makes my head hurt.
I really do shudder at what we are going to pick at West Ham.
Anyway, let's hope it all works out today. | | | |

Absolute nonsense to be rotating our goalkeepers like they're Shilton and Clemence under Ron Greenwood. Saito back in...because of course. Hayden dropped for having the temerity to tackle. And of course its 4-4-2. I still think we'll win though. | | | |

Barry Bannan, born in the 1980s. How come he is seemingly never injured? Not even a tweak. Him and JCS are not peas in a pod, no? | | | |
| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 11:09 - Jan 4 with 1117 views | johnhoop |
From that lineup it looks like we’re not going to make any attempt to nullify Bannan.
What could possibly go wrong? | | | |

Maybe Varane will do a forward pass against these ? |  |

I know we look back at what seems like 30 years of playing against him and the bloke being MOTM every time but it would be kind of mad to set up at home not in the preferred formation to counter one ageing player and I’d like to think Burrell has some instruction to do that job to an extent.
They aren’t mugs across the rest of the team anyway. Good goalkeeper, plenty of experience, some pace. Form shows clearly they aren’t by any means good but they rarely get thumped. | | | |

I'm praying that Varane has instructions to just kick Bannan every time he gets the ball.
I fear not though. 1-0 to Sheff Wednesday | | | |

I really can't see why Hayden gets dropped to the bench again? Seemed like a prime experienced candidate to sit on Bannan. Could very well be a 'will we never learn' moment. We shall see! Worried that Chair is yet again missing. A long list of injuries now and we badly need him. |  |

Hunter’s post on page one of this thread which received 24 upvotes made an enormous amount of sense to me because it’s what I’ve been thinking myself for years.
Come to think of it, I think I’d rather have him as manager than JS at the moment because he seems more tactically aware. | | | |

Team looks fine to me as long as they are on the front foot from the first minute. Nobody needs to see two bang average teams not laying a glove on each other for the first half. 2-1 Rangers, Madsen penalty and Kone. |  | | |

Did it get extended? |  | | |

Yeah let’s make a supporter our manager 🙄
Let’s wait to see how the game goes before slagging Stéphan off too much eh? | | | |
