I know that some will already have be down as a merchant of doom.
However, I am genuinely nervous about Saturday's game.
Haven't had a good feeling about it since Monday.
Hoping that after their great run, Sheff Wed are due a bad game and this weekend is it.
Please feel free to come back on here and relentlessly take the piss if we win 5-0 on Saturday. I will be delighted to be wrong about this one. |  |

I think in truth this partly is due to my memory of Sheff Wed being a bit of a bogey side in the past.
I remember ironically enough when they had our old players Hirst and Carlton Bloody Palmer, they always seemed to beat us.
Times have moved on, but the more superstitious / deranged (take your pick) amongst us tend to get a bad feeling about certain oppo teams. | |

Their record at the Dell was really bad (for us), I can barely remember beating them there from the early 80's till we left.
Their record at St Maey's is really bad (for them) and i'm fairly sure they've hardly won there.
So couple that with our unbeaten run and the fact they've got Rohl and it's a nailed on away win |  | | |

No it is just you, but that doesn't mean you are wrong to be worried, complacency is our biggest enemy and which is why we conceded late goals against Rotherham & Huddersfield |  |

Pessimistic Pat is back.
I was there when the Wallace brothers all started a game for first maybe only time against Sheff Wednesday . We lost.
I also have a bit of a bad feeling about this one |  |

Surely you were at the Dell in '84 with a 5-0 win following a 0-0 draw up there?? And we did get a 2-1 win in August or whenever it was so yet another double is surely on the cards?? |  | | |

You are not alone Pat. I have the same vibe but hoping that it proves to be the wrong vibe. I am going and looking forward to it, but a bit uneasy. Sheff Wed have turned a corner and only now did I realise that Danny Rohl is the manager and their results have improved since he took over - he clearly has something as I think Hassenhuttl was better with him. |  | | |

Damn shame he wasn’t persuaded to stay
Still unsure why he left? Undermining Ralph I would imagine | | | |

That would be the Carlton Palmer who got more England caps than Le Tiss. |  |

I guess we are all getting nervous because the streak can't go on forever and with each game now we must be getting closer to it ending. |  | | |

Hoddle never forgave Le Tiss for turning him down when he was the manager at Chelski, so when he became manager of England it was payback time for the moron. | | | |

No he got offered the assistant managers job at Bayern Munich, he was at RB Leipzig with Ralph so there was no friction | |

I was told at the time that both the club and Ralph were desperate for him to stay as he was the person who had the relationship with the players.
By all accounts Ralph was terrible at man management and actually isolated players rather than engage with them, whereas Rohl was the one that built relationships and was seen as the "go to" for the players themselves.
His decision to leave - again from what i understand - was more to do with the fact that it was Bayern rather than anything else, and I also heard internally to the club Rohl leaving was actually seen as potentially more damaging than had Ralph left. | | | |

I was there, literally on a school night !!
FA Cup - 0-0 at Hillsborough and 5-1 at the Dell in the replay
I think Moran and Armstrong scored for us
...but that was 40 years ago !!
They used to be a bogey side for us - I think they were unbeaten in about 8 years against us in the 90's, but we have won our last 5 games in a row against them, doing the double over them in our Championship Promotion season, 2 subsequent League Cup wins (1 on pens) and the win on this season's opener. No reason why we can't go on to do the double over them again this season. [Post edited 12 Jan 13:10]

When some of us back then were wondering whether it wasn't a coincidence that Ralph's results started to drop off when Rohl left, I can remember one ITK (can't remember which) claiming that he left under a cloud.
Difficult to know how to digest such stuff. Going because Bayern came calling seems a very simple and logical explanation, and it is now really interesting to see him doing well in a managers role.
Something did seem to go missing for Ralph when he left. | |

I can't think who it could be. Anyone who likes just a little bit of negativity, f@cking Ipswich won. | |

Yeah but thankfully they’re playing Leicester away next Monday, so as long as we can get a result against Swansea, then with Leicester loosing today that may be a win-win game for us, although I still struggle to see us catching Leicester, so would certainly prefer them to win than anything else |  |

As long as Ipswich don't win, any other result would be good for us. Ideally, a draw would be good I suppose. | |

My lad's local team had a training session and tour at Staplewood last summer, it was a great opportunity for me to quizz some of the staff who had been there for years.
And what you say is spot on. Ralf was seen as arrogant and rude and everyone was happy to see him go. (Which is totally at odds with this public/TV persona, which made him seem humble, sensitive 'man of the people' and very likeable).
Roll on the other hand was a good communicator and well liked, so we lost a key part of the management set up. | | | |
