    ....the Massives. Losing away to League leaders Brighton.
    You'd think theyd been relegated. Some of the comments I've read are laughable.
    They've played v 10 men more often than not in recent weeks and still bemoan their luck.

    Normally I'm fairly sporting towards them but I'd actually laugh my head off if they didn't go up again.

    The sense of entitlement is unbelievable.

    I can't believe Hutchinson didn't get a straight red. If he hadn't already got a yellow he would have got one - and a 3 match ban instead of 1.

    It wouldn't surprise me if one or two of their "better" players started getting restless, given the stick dished out by their fans. It would break my heart if they lost a player or two in the window too. I'd be devastated.

    A definite weakness of the Wednesday squad is the temperament of one, or two. You now have Hutchinson (I thought that should have been a straight red for intent, rather than a second yellow) and McManaman (note how Stockdale tried to provoke him into retaliation, as did Knockaert). This could be their greatest weakness over the rest of the season. if they are losing, or under pressure, they have a couple too many players who have a reputation for over-reacting. They were good in parts last night, but the player they don't have to unlock the door for Sam is Conor. We need to keep him to the summer at all costs.

    Sam is not averse to the odd bit of teddy chucking either. They are building up a proper disciplinary problem with their squad but it's ok. The Football League and the Referees Union won't let them get into trouble. That Hutchinson tackle at the end last night was much worse than some that ours have dished out, and got reds for. In fact, wasn't it just like the one on Hammill, for which Adam got sent off??

    If he struggles for goals it will be interesting because they won't be as patient as we were

    Didn't Fletcher get sent off too last night? With Hooper just coming back from his hamstring injury......Sam has the green light to impress and a run of appearances to go with it.

    We all know if Winnall isn't in one of his goalscoring runs, he might as well not be on the pitch. Their fans will definitely not be as patient.
