HappyOwl Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Moore and Smith going on about the crowd being so important well we’ve always turned up unlike the team in the past. Sometimes I think it has affected us in a negative way too much pressure rather than positively. Just my opinion but Bannan waving the crowd on really annoyed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion but Bannan waving the crowd on really annoyed me I can't really comment on current atmosphere as I have been watching from afar. But the reality is 25 plus years of shite is very difficult to displace. Certainly within the last few years the quality of the games, the mind numbing tedium of some of the styles of play, the questionable application of some players, it's more a surprise fans still turn up. I have not lost my support for the Club, what I have is the mo jo to drag my arse to watch in person. Part of that isn't football reasons more personal. The atmosphere will however be fine if they deliver on the pitch, and frankly after the forementioned 25 years the onus is on them to do so not for the fans to give unconditional backing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it’s normally done following a winning of a corner or something similar. Just trying to get the crowd bouncing off you and in most cases it’s just spontaneous and rarely ever a criticism You might need a hobby other than Wednesday if that winds you up. Should be enjoyed Yes a hobby that doesn’t leave me pissed off every year in the month of May would be good 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a go at random players in the past for not giving a shit whilst simultaneously digging out Bannan for...giving a shit 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think it has affected us in a negative way too much pressure rather than positively. Just my opinion but Bannan waving the crowd on really annoyed me We’ve always turned up, but not always turned up the noise. While I understand there’s a debate as to who’s the motivating factor in that, should we drive them, vice versa or a bit of both… But there’s been times this season when it’s been quiet. We generate noise around kick off then the atmosphere seems to be dictated by the next 10 mins or so of the game. We’re not as ‘instinctive’ as we were in our support IMO, we’re driven by those on the pitch more IMO than us driving the players. Until… it’s needed if we push in the last 10 mins of a game for a winner. As MK said, you can’t just brush over the last 20 years being by and large bang average. But, next Friday we don’t need to think of that. If we (players, fans, the lot) want to give each other the best chance of this modicum of success, then we have to be together all the way through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I haven't been to that many games but the atmosphere was cranked up v Plymouth because it felt a pivotal game. The MK one where the players upped the tempo in the 2nd half and turned it around. The myth however is that it was always better in the past. It really wasn't, many an afternoon it was as damp squib as the weather. You simply recall the good days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever ones you were talking about when you said "well we’ve always turned up unlike the team in the past." Unless you meant this season, which would seem incredibly harsh given we've only lost one match at home all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I thought it was a fairly decent atmosphere on Sunday. Big crowd but no real negative noise despite a fairly low tempo performance. I think people probably realise that for us to go up via the playoffs we need to be behind the team. As has been discussed and stated, the inquest will start if we don’t get promoted. Barring a collapse on Friday I would expect the home leg atmosphere to be decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Not sure about the atmosphere in the office as I just broke my Sheffield Wednesday mug Though given I must have had this for at least 5 years it can hardly be the portent of good luck The nice ladies in the office have arranged to get me another - albeit when she googled Sheffield Wednesday Mugs it came up with a picture of a full S6 and said about 32000 here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a positive result, be it a decent draw or have a lead. I reckon it'll be cracking. BUT and I hate to even think this, we'd need an early goal to stave off the wobble that some would have.

A succinct metaphore for the typical Wednesday experience! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
