Pretty happy with Trott, Turner and Alnwick.

Horvath wants to be in the USA squad for the World Cup next year and that won't happen if he's not playing.

Never recovered from that horror show at Burnley. Hope he keeps a clean sheet on Saturday against Wrexham. It would be great if its a free and not a loan. Poor signing but good luck to him.

He is not going to be in the US Squad that I agree. But according to Sheffield Wednesday supporters they expect to lose most games this season and concede a lot of goals. Which, if thats the case, I cant see the US wanting to use a keeper who is constantly picking the ball out the net.

He needs to play, agreed, but to be in the US side - I would perhaps have waited for a different team.

I guess he's thinking that if he's playing in the Championship for any team then he's more likely to be in the USA squad than not even being in the match day squad for us in League One.

Early days with Trott but my impression is he's an upgrade on both Horvath and Alnwick.

I've never really rated him Alnwick same turner I was impressed with his first game he was unlucky to be dropped to be honest trott hmm still need convincing he worries me sometimes whereas with turner never had that feeling time will tell

Good news.

Very poor keeper, doesn’t leave his line.

Re: Championship Side Wednesday Sign Cardiff player:

Good luck to him.

I don't think he enjoyed his time with us much. Feelings probably mutual though.

Hopefully we'll stuck with the 3 that are left now.

Come on then BBM, let's offset some of these bl00dy departures!

Only an emergency loan given Wednesday’s embargo?



Cheers :thumbright:


Yes and it now begs the question how much of the wage bill has reduced. Not a lot I say.

They can still sign free transfers under the embargo so don't rule out a permanent transfer.
