Is it "all-change" on match day? Warm up in front of the Cowshed... Come down the tunnel on that side... Line up to shake hands on that side... Win the toss and defend that end first half...
Is it an educated guess that we might have changed dressing rooms too? 🤷🏻♂️

Also Delano jumping into the CL when he scored. Great for optics, he hugged me like a father and son would but he snapped our brand new flag pole so the bastard owes me £8. Delano, your cards are marked, son. EDIT. Proof of the damage. www.instagram.com/reel/Cx0tJCfovYI/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

The warm up side makes total sense. Why give the away team the chance to warm up in front of their own fans?

Also the pitch has been made wider & shorter.

There was also a countdown on the screen, 20 down to 0 as Tog starts to announce the players are in the tunnel. They then walked out on zero.
In addition, adding the big screen in the fanzone meant that it was packed pre-match. Think it helped who was on and them getting beat! They do need to cover the whole area though and have several food street food outlets like they used too.

2 points from 2 games. So on that basis we end up on 47 points. Will that be enough. I would have been happy with a point before kick off, but to make the substitutions he did at 1 0 up were bizarre. Settle for a point I guess. Whilst I applaud him clapping the fans pretty much all game I would prefer he focused his energies on the team on the pitch.

I think he cost us 2 points yesterday though. Hudlin gave us absolutely nothing when he came on, Harratt would've carried on where JK left off, ratting about and getting into them.
Not happy about the change of ends either after 30 years of watching us attack the goal in front of me, 2nd half. Attacking what's basically the away end in the 2nd half seems odd when there's, at a push, only a 3rd of that stand containing Town fans.

I think the way the away allocation has been created at the ground has long been a problem.
Never understood this safety thing and why they can’t stick them in the top tier at the other end?

Initially I really like the fact we’ve changed ends, the most important thing is to try and make the away teams feel as uncomfortable as possible. Even though the away fans are in the South stand that end is still by far our home side due to the flat atmosphere of the north end. Also fans sitting in the riverside or kilner can move at half time.

I totally agree with the change of ends . The warm up’s keep the away team away from their supporters. Playing towards our fans as opposed to an empty lower tier in the 2nd half also benefits our 2nd half push as witnessed yesterday. I’m pleased that someone is looking to give us every possible home advantage. Long overdue in my opinion.

I agree with people about DM's subs yesterday, having said that his subs on Monday got us a point you could say. You could say he does not muck about in making subs, which could be a good things in the future.

Makes so much more sense until the NSL is fixed up and filled. Always find it a bit embarrassing watching goals scored into the empty stand on TV.

Good to see a strong performance yesterday when so many (me included) felt we’d probably get turned over. Hopefully those sceptical of DM will give him the time to continue the encouraging start.
Seems like we have the basis of a very good side and hopefully add to it come January. The central striker role seemingly still the one to solve.
Additionally watching Darren Moore interviews in You Tube can be sped up to at least 1.75x so saves a bit of time here and there also 😃

Just read a report on the turmoil surrounding Sheffield Wednesday. What is abundantly clear is that a key reason for their current on field problems is the departure of Darren Moore, just a few weeks after masterminding that remarkable recovery from the 0-4 1st leg Play Off Semi Final and securing promotion.
Yesterday I noticed that he spent every second of the game stood in the technical area, he was a calm and assured presence throughout.
I was pleased that he received a good welcome, I think we’ve appointed well here.

DB7 didn’t dive into the away fans. Our fans are at that end too!

DB7 didn’t dive into the away fans. Our fans are at that end too! A quarter of the stand doesn't make it the home end, it was still the away fans directly behind the goal. And why did the silly bastard jump into the crowd anyway, you know you'll be booked.

He jumped into the crowd because he is a human being with emotions who'd just scored in a highly competitive match. What is super dumb is that players get a yellow card for celebrating.

And Warnock also masterminded a 4-0 hammering at home by Coventry, a 4-0 away hammering to Burnley and a 4-0 hammering at home to Norwich. What's your point?

And most home games, more fans will be in south stand than away. Can't hear the families, in a box. Means absolutely nothing. I sit the same as you in the upper tier. But I think the turnaround is better. Attack the south stand 2nd half.

Away team can’t now play to their own fans in second half. A point that has been overlooked above.

I've sat in both the Family Stand and South Stand for games and hated both, the view, and more-so the perspective, is awful.
