| SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v DERBY COUNTY League 1 # 46 |
| 1200 Hillsborough Sunday 7th May 2023 |
| Do we want it? Really, really want it? The possibility of a play-off berth is now a scary reality with the prospect of playing The Owls three times on the bounce. Exciting innit? |
| The faithful of Sheffield Wednesday still harbour a grudge regarding their relegation to League 1 two years ago and I don't think they will make it easy for us. Indeed they could have released another 2000 tickets for away fans but have chosen not to. That's mardy. |
| So, a win will guarantee a play off berth to give us a chance of to return to the Championship at the first time of asking. What would you take? Losing in the semis or heartbreak at Wembley? Can't actually believe we are at this stage. |
| FFS . And if the first 20 minutes against Portsmouth is anything to go by (Oh and yes if we could score) we are a match for anyone.....ifs and buts..... |
| And if Peterborough lose and we lose, we are still in the mix. If we draw and they win, then they're through if they win by a bigger margin than 3......so just ignore what's going on elsewhere..... |
