Funny game football mind you, still time

Nothing more than we deserve, we've been poor

Not poor playing wise just poor going forward!

Ah well season over. About right as we are not good enough at the moment. Injuries haven't helped. Hope we can build on the improvement we have seen this season and take some momentum into next.

25 mins left yet mun butt

Anyone think we can score two?
Me neither!
They'll probably pull away & score another couple
Prediction:
3-0 Wednesday.

We've not been good enough this season. Hopefully we can improve next season with a more astute manager at the helm

2 - 0

It's all over
Peltier O/G

Absolute shite, not good enough, we ain't lost there in 8 years and biggest game season we lose! Uncle fester f**k off!

The wolves are out!

Been a decent season. Shame we didn't quite have enough to make the playoffs today. Onto next season.....

2 - 0

It's all over
Peltier O/G

Yes but no peltier to blame was it. Marshall absolute howler. f*cking shower of shit.

I'm pulling my hair out watching noone aswell, one trick poney. Multiple times he's had 3/4 shirts in the box and what does he do, cuts inside and hits the first man

FEK off Slade, Fek off Noone

We set up for this game like we have for past 20 games!!! No imagination as cost us again

Nooooo that's the problem , bit like noone one trick pony!

Terrible performance and would like Bellamy in to work with younger players like John. Harris. Ralls and osullivan etc

Ameobi is garbage. Youngsters against brum

3-0 now.

Agree Ameobi's been poor, but at least seen the ball more than Zohore. Poor strikers cost us this season.

should have put lawrence and harris on players who will have a go !!!

Odds on slade will use the 2 injuries as an excuse ?

What an absolute shite performance, oh well enjoy your holidays boys.

Sheffield Wednesday secured their place in this season's Championship play-offs as a second-half double from Gary Hooper and a Lee Peltier own goal gave them a 3-0 victory over their nearest challengers, Cardiff.

Wednesday started well and were unlucky not to go ahead in the fifth minute as Glenn Loovens' near-post header from a Fernando Forestieri corner went over the bar.

In the 17th minute, Wednesday went close again but Daniel Pudil could not keep his first-time shot from the edge of the area on target after a neat lay-off from Hooper.

It was all Wednesday and, just minutes later, Hooper saw a low 25-yard drive come off the inside of Cardiff keeper David Marshall's post.

The visitors responded but Craig Noone's deflected left-footed strike from inside the area was an easy take for Wednesday keeper Kieren Westwood.
In the 33rd minute, Cardiff midfielder Peter Whittingham hit a speculative shot from the edge of the box wide of Westwood's left-hand post. Wednesday's Tom Lees then headed over from a far post Forestieri corner.

Barry Bannan tried his luck in the 39th minute but his curling left-footed effort from the right-hand side of the box went wide of Marshall's post.

Forestieri looked like the man to make things happen and, in the 54th minute, he looked to be through on goal until he was stopped in his tracks by a clumsy Matthew Connolly tackle.

On the hour, Westwood parried a Noone effort from outside the area, eventually gathering at the second attempt.

Wednesday opened the scoring in the 64th minute through Hooper, who reacted quickly to smash the ball into the roof of the net after Marshall parried a stinging low-drive from Pudil.

Cardiff desperately looked for a way back into the game and Marshall had to be alert to gather in another edge of the box strike from Noone.
Wednesday brought on Atdhe Nuhiu in the 70th minute and he almost had an instant impact as his far post header forced Marshall into action.

Wednesday doubled their lead in the 75th minute in bizarre circumstances after a mistake by Marshall led to a Peltier own goal. An innocuous ball down the right was chased down by Hooper as Marshall tried to shepherd it out for a goal kick. The Wednesday striker tussled with the keeper before composing himself and delivering a cross which was deflected into the net by a despairing Peltier.

Joao then went close, forcing a smart save from Marshall down to his right.

Hooper added a third deep in stoppage time, chipping the keeper from inside the area after a neat header on from strike partner Nuhiu.
