Tricky one.

I think a draw would be a decent outcome.

Hope it's like the old days of Villa vs Brentford, but it's us playing them off the park.
We'll conveniently forget how well Bruce's Villa played against Smith's Brentford earlier in the season then :-)
 

We equalised in the 90th minute, having collapsed on our arses on 70 minutes, with them missing a few sitters.

It was the best we had played against them for sure, but it's not saying much.

There is a thread on their forum about what tactics to use against us. They're using charge and attack attack attack. Which probably goes beyond Bruce's capabilities.

Fuck me I've just read the biggest, steaming pile of absolute horshite in the Sheffield Star.

Apparently the whole footballing world will be cheering Sheffield Wednesday on as the good guys for what we did to Bruce.

Utter fucking shite.

Unbelievable, if it wasn't from Sheffield, the one-eyed football capital of the world.

Incidentally, a mate of mine, a big Owls fan, went down to Millwall to watch the game. He told me that SB set his team up very deep, happy to defend against a side struggling against relegation. He made one or two changes in the last ten minutes which made little difference.

It appears that SB was very happy with his point.

Or maybe the 'whole of the footballing world' will remember that Wednesday are famous for match fixing, a deathtrap stadium, arsehole chairmen and fuck all else.

I'm hoping for better on Sat than a last minute equaliser.
