Would he have played Zohore if Immers was fit? I doubt it but who knows but it takes him weeks to see the change people see within the 90mins.
Those stats ain't going to impress many when it's against bottom club Bolton with 10 men. As you say playing against 10 men can be tough but possession and off target shots are a minimal expectation.
We are though still in with a shout, so bring on Wednesday, it's football so expect the unexpected

Hell yeah, we have had it happen to us under DJ where only a miracle would stop us making the playoffs and we know what happened

Anything less is a failure that can be laid squarely at the feet of our manager.
Anyone who disagrees can look at results over the last 2 week.s

Agree with that but still in it for now.

The fact is for much of the game game despite our possession (short passes sideways forwards and back to where they started) we did not even look like scoring. Yes we won but ugly wasn't the word for it. And I got to say had Bolton kept 11 players on the pitch I am sure we would have lost. We are awful on the eye to watch it's mind numbing at times.
So for me those are the issues yes we won but that performance we saw today is what we saw when we lost to Fulham and Brentford etc.

Tend to agree, it's easy to say a wins a win.
However today it was all that mattered. Whatever happens at least we go into next week with something. I don't think anyone honestly wants Slade as manager next season.

Please dont tell me taking off a centre half for a winger to play the poor guy right back is a good move. He should of taken off the spinless Maloney went with 3 Centre backs chucked Harris and Noone out wide and went with Whitts and Okeefe through the middle with Lawrence playing off Pilkington and THE DONUT THAT IS AMEOBI.
We were let off the hook and that is the bottom line. Yes we had enough chances to kill the game off but Bolton also had their chances to make it game over.
On a whole we've had a very good season, it's been very pleasing to be in with a shout and its more than I would ever expected, but lets be honest Sheff Weds have dropped alot of points at the business end of the season and we have failed to make the most of opportunity.
We were branded bottlers under Jones, well we have missed numerous opportunities under Slade this season. He may have got us where we are but I question his credentials of taking us that step further.
Yes Ill be there at Sheffield, BlueArmy !
