As usual, when an opposition don't put 10 behind the ball (and they didn't, they just didn't know what they were doing!) and we are allowed to play, we prove what a good footballing team we are. How often does an enforced change allow someone to shine, Matt Done justified the MOTM award. The only worry I have is that performances like this highlight our players (and management team) to everyone else as mentioned on the football league show.

Only just found the site - I wondered where you had gone to ! Great to have access again to your match reports - still superb.
Why should we worry now ? Relegation - don't think so.
Promotion - how would we manage in the Championship? Nice problem to have.
All credit to Hillcroft from their determination and hard work everything else flows from them as a result.
The real Wednesday fans were shocked but why don't the Police change their tactics ? You cannot put men into a completely full stand and allocated seating might help break up the plonkers who want to cause trouble.
As for Southampton I'll bet they are not looking forward to Saturdays trip, maybe they should forget it and just put our 3 points in the post .......

Initially things were going well - wonder goal then the sending off .Then we had a silly error with a free kick given and rightfully so.A very fortunate goal then follows -Paddy can't save those more chance in winning the lottery.Then Tommy suffered his Hamstring we then in my view didn't create much.
Taraabt and Faurlin two of our creative players were tightly marked which left space for Derry and Miller.Although Miller was useful i think he would have been better down the middle replacing Rob Hulse who lacks confidence.Taraabt was sulking and Wayne was subdued.It seemed to be the Reading game in reverse ,we didn't know how to exploit the extra man!

Forest deserved their point and Billy Davies won the Manager points - Neil probably learnt a lot from this game though .
Anyway they didn't lose to a very confident Forest team but the players were obviously dissappointed given the circumstances.

Another 2 points drop not good enough .The strikers are not getting there act together

This was a big test of whether we can really make this championship our own. Where are the goalscorers? Is the plan to draw ourselves into the Premier League? Come on R's lets get back to the goalscoring we had in the early part of the season

Much more like it from Vale, a decent performance except for the usual panic stations in the last five minutes. Gannon has seen the light and played Griff and Roberts in midfield. Geohaghan still doesn't look good enough, just slow and sluggish, but he was nowhere near as bad as he was against Northampton.

Another couple of points dropped. Could be out of sight at this stage of the season. Big game v Ipswich on Tuesday and a repeat of this wouldn't be good enough against our in-form visitors. Come on u R's.

Yes, Come on You Rs indeed!

I can't believe the negativity around Hulse, the panic and the nervousness. OK the goals aren't going in like they did 4 months ago but look where we are and NW has still not had his first anniversary!
For God's sake enjoy and relax...otherwise the nerves pass on to the team.

May be the old Rs would buckle under the expectation. Tonight the bookies have us, at worst at 3/10 for promotion..they rarely get it wrong and this is NW's Rs. Enjoy and get off the back of any of our players.
