HoylandOwl Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Here we go then... Let's get it up and started...... The press conference is tomorrow (Thursday), SWFC have put details up about that and how you can watch if you want. The name of the officials is up.... So.. Who are they? Referee: ANTHONY BACKHOUSE Assistants: Alex James and Garry Maskell Fourth Official : David Rock Reserve AR: Daniel Cook Mr Backhouse's record reads that he has presided over 35 games this season... Dishing out 120 yellow cards and only 1 red. Interestingly, he's reffed us on two occasions. The first time, was the 1-0 win AT MK Dons in the early point of the season, 4 bookings in that game. All for us. Then, the last time he reffed us was the 1-0 HOME win over Peterborough. He booked 4 players in that game too. 3 for us, and 1 for them. Head to head record The game on Friday night will be the 22nd meeting between the two sides. Wednesday have won 10 of the previous clashes Peterborough have won 7 And there have been 4 draws. Last time out at Peterborough Tuesday 16th August - The hosts won 2-0, helped in no small part by the sending off, of Reece James in the 34th minute. Wednesday held out until the 64th minute when Jonson Clarke Harris opened the scoring, before Jack Taylor doubled the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 See I thought James was unlucky as it was not intentional - but not one you would argue about ultimately. I think it was the challenge by a Peterborough player that did not result in similar. Wasn't this when (Byers?) got subbed off and he stropped a bit.

HoylandOwl Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 DM "I'm really looking forward to it. It's another game but the scope of the game brings great excitement." DM "We focus on tomorrow and that's the way we've always been. We won't be looking too far ahead." DM "Peterborough have had a good season, they have been persistent with their work since Darren came in." DM "Last year, we had two titanic tussles. We had to dig in and in the second leg both teams were at it. We got the goal and felt the momentum was in our favour but they had quality and got the goal. "But we took the positives and brought them into this season." DM "I live in the city so it's great for me to rub shoulders with supporters. "You want to be remembered and the way to do that is from the successes you have." DM "Lee Gregory is available and good to go." DM "It's been great to have Reece James and Jack Hunt back now they have had more volume. They give us good options." DM "It's great to see players back training and in with the squad at this stage. "They are chomping at the bit and it gives us more balance and options." #swfc DM "The players have brought the mentality to the football club, they are a joy to work with. "My job is to push them and improve them. And that doesn't stop." #swfc DM "It's going to be a good arena, a good surface under the lights. Two managers who respect each other and we look to go again." DM "Credit to the players, even on the last day when they knew where we were going to finish, the focus they showed to win our final game and maintain our strong home form, I was very pleased."

HappyOwl Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Tricky one tomorrow night from a team selection point of view. Does he throw Gregory back in does he start windass? Its a good position to be in with availability but it’s a tricky one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto_Man Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Only change I'd definitely make from the 11 that started against Derby would be to drop FDB. I might consider James or Ihiekwe for Brown if either are fit enough, it's harsh on Brown, but we need to go with our strongest 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Peterborough have a record to aim for...... That we currently hold. Apparently when we won against Brighton back under MK's favourite Owls manager, we finished the season 16 points behind them, earning the 'record' of overturning a playoff team with the highest finishing points gap. The Posh finished 19 behind us this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an opinion that when County and Wrexham pulled away from the rest that both should go up and the play-offs still happened. League 2 would have an odd number next season and it would be an opportunity to change the rules, ditch National League play-offs all together and just have a straight promotion and relegation. They used Bury's expulsion as the example of odd numbered league and levelling up the season after. FA said no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
