I hate to say it but you probably will beat us! We are SHIT in front of the cameras, haven't a game in front of the cameras yet!  |

We didn't exactly shine in front of the cameras last year, draws against Brighton and QPR and a thrashing by Cardiff in one of our worst performances of the year. The only half decent game was the 2-2 draw at Luton when they were 4th. I reckon it's all set for a bore draw  |

I hope so bud! It's the most we can hope for with our dreadful record! I just hope you Wednesday fans bring a lot of fans! You always sell out the away end but when it's on Sky, you never know how many will turn up!

We'll still sell out i'd imagine, what's the capacity of the away end over there?

It's about 4500. I would have thought that you would sell it out, but you can never know with it being on Sky, and also with it being on a Friday night. Very much hope you do sell it out though, would make for a great atmosphere!

Could be tricky with Sky but Friday night should be ok with most people not working on a sat. Good luck with the new season (apart from 2 blips against us ;D) who do you think will be your next boss?

Thank you, good luck to you too! I think both of us will achieve, and would settle for, mid-table. Perhaps we will flirt with play-offs, but very unlikely for both teams. Phil Parkinson is almost definitely going to be our next boss. Colchester are just putting up a legal fight in the hope that Parky changes his mind, but it is highly unlikely now, after Colechester have been so spiteful in not allowing Parky to move after his resignation. My only worry is when the courts overturn the injunction and how long it takes for him to be actually installed, because every day is a day that a new player could be found and bought. |

I think he'd be a good choise, he might try and bring Halford with him, supposed to be a good player. I think both teams will be somewhere between 10th and 15th which is a steady improvement and that's fine. Next season the owls must sign a quality striker or the playoffs will be beyond us again  |

We need to get rid of a striker! We have...
Barmby
Paynter
Duffy
Parkin
Fagan
McPhee
Burgess
Burgess is most likely to be gotten rid of. As he hasn;t played for ages due to injury and could well be injury prone in the future. But, it all boils down to whether Parkinson rates him or not!

What about Cort? Hasn't Taylor bid £750,000 for him, is he worth that much? From what i've seen (limited as that is) i'd say no. |

Nope, not worth it in my eyes to be honest either. PT seems to rate him though, and it looks like the bid will be upped to £1M. I just hope AP says 'shove it' politely so PT doesn't come looking for other players of ours, such as Myhill.
And to be honest, i think Burgess is the only player i would get rid of. Like Fagan a lot, and McPhee hasn't been proven yet as he was injured all last season.
