- Optimism seems high amongst Sheffield Wednesday fans. Are they right to be expecting big improvements next season in Danny Rohl's after Danny Rohl's first full pre-season at Hillsborough?

You have to remember last season our optimism was rock bottom by Moore leaving, Chansiri being bonkers again, having half a squad just weeks before the season started and so with the opposite happening this summer itâs no wonder weâve got positive vibes. Like weâre in a dream where our football club is run well!
The playoffs wouldn't surprise me, i think top 10 for sure, looks like Beadle is coming back in as signing number 7 and also looking like Bernard may resign as well. So much positivity around Hillsborough at the moment and it's down to one man who has revitalised the club and it seems Mr Chansiri has taken a back seat (for now), and backing Danny as it's clear he's got a gem of a manager.
Top half and then roll the dice, like so many. Impressive manager, good luck to the Owls, from a West Brom fan
It pains me to say it, but hats off to Chansiri. Credit where credit is due he's tied DR down to an extended contact, begun work on the improvements to the training ground, extended the technical team, signed down some key players to new deals and is definitely backing. DR in the transfer window nice and early. Also assume he's finding the two training camps ( St George's & Germany). Erratic is a good word to describe him sometimes. As long as he keeps up this sort if work, we may have a future yet. There seems to be a much better relationship between DR and Chansiri, from the outside in.
Hard to say how the season might go, re-signing Bernard would be huge đ€ What I can say having been in the club shop twice in the last week is that there's an awful lot of positivity and it isn't just on social media. The manager is hugely popular, I've not seen the fans buy into a manager anywhere near this much in my 52 years. Fingers crossed for the rest of the summer, it's got to beat last season's pre-season that's for sure đ
To be honest, mate, l'm almost at the point where, as long as we don't flirt with relegation again, I'm just going to bask in the glory of being a properly run club with a fantastic manager. Anything else is a very welcome bonus!
For the first time in many years we seem to be so organised on and off the pitch. The back room staff appear outstanding alongside Rohl and additions to the playing staff offer optimism plus new contracts taken up by important players. A real feel good factor at the club as Chansiri seems to be backing his manager. PromisingâŠ
As a Blade I'm pained to suggest they might avoid the playoffs given Danny Rohl's amazing job and averaging 2 points per game. As for us - just avoid a relegation battle please - assuming we eventually manage to get a squad together!!
Think the clever recruitment of the analyst from the german league may be more signifcant than some of the players. We seem to have started to put in decent foundations and have a strategy.
Mid table and a cup run for us please. As for United, despite the doom and gloom, Wilder is a very good manager at this level and will have them challenging.
Blades fan here...we will struggle a lot, our team has been torn to bits and incomings, if any significant, will probably come in late...you'll finish above us, you had a strong end of season last year and you are building on top of that team....
I genuinely have no idea whatâs going on at Hillsborough or where weâre going to finish, but for now Iâm bloody enjoying it. That might all change pretty quickly when we play Plymouth on 11/8/24 but Iâll worry about that then.
Hi Benjamin. Trust and believe in Danny. He always said the main thing was the 'process' of development, progressive improvement. The mantra of learning to walk before you can run, of running before you are able to sprint. With that in mind, a top half finish with a real sign of future potential success would do me just fine. Mr. Chansiri, initially, tried to buy Wednesday out of the Championship and, hence, the ensuing financial problems of the club. Time for him to now listen to the voice and wisdom of Danny (which appears to be the case) and to not, unduly, interfere with the 'process' being constructed. WAWAW.
I think we will be top 12 but play-offs might be a step to far. Beadle will make a difference if that deal gets done and with a few midfielders we might be in with a shout. Also important we get Bernard to sign another deal, if not another CB would be required. Still, a lot more positive than last year!
I'm very optimistic but still realistic I'm thinking around 10th this season and I'll be happy
Anything can happen and usually does with Wednesday, but this off season is so un-Wednesday like. I think a lot of Wednesdayites including myself, were expecting Danny to be snapped up once the season finished, but to my surprise he signed a new 3 year contract. Then we've started signing everyone, 6 players through the door already with James Beadle soon to follow, on top of this out of contract players are re-signing, with only Dawson and Vaulks deciding not to stay. You never can tell what will happen, this is Wednesday after all, and no-one cocks things up like Wednesday, but god, up to now this has been a brilliant start to the season, I don't remember one quite like it and I'm 65. It's the Rohl effect, can we finish in the play offs? I wouldn't put anything past Danny Rohl. I think Leeds and Burnley will most likely get automatic promotion, but then it's any 4 from around 10 teams who will be more than capable, and Wednesday will be in that group. Exciting times are ahead. Good look in the Premier Benjammin, you've got a tough start, but no games are easy. UTO FTB
Blade here I agree and it is similar for us too, you just dont know until the season starts, but I would love to see us both up the top end, Sheffield is a football City !
I am loving this conversation after us (rightly) being predicted to be relegated last season at the start.
I am optimistic for sure, but playoffs would be a big stretch. Some very good sides in the league this year.
I would be very happy with mid table progress, that's for sure.
UTO!
Whereâs the ambition
@@Secret19977 like I say I'm optimistic, but I'm also not naive there are some brilliant teams in the league next year.
Mid table is progress for us. Would be very happy to see us do even better of course.
You're right Ben, there's a lot of optimism at S6 compared to last year - one year ago today we appointed Xisco as manager. I can't believe we've been doing a lot of things right, it feels strange. 7 signings in (Beadle signed on loan after this was published) and we're not done yet! A few more are needed but it looks like weâre going to have a real go this coming season. I always said if we got the recruitment right we could do something and so far so good.
We also kept some great players. Just brought beadle back on loan. A brilliant goalkeeper. We also kept hold of josh windass. Who would have been off if not for our manger
As a Sheffield Wednesday fan and knowing Sheffield Wednesday like I do there will be many who will get carried away by all the positivity thatâs around at the moment because the last few years have been mainly negative and even toxic sometimes. A top half finish this season would be huge progress this season. Obviously the play offs would be brilliant but if we can finish in the top half Iâll be satisfied
Wednesday have new players in Danny Rohl we trust we are going to have a go this new season. We could well be the Dark horse for the playoffs. Remember donât right us off Ben remember the Peterborough game everyone said weâre dead. Barnsley at Wembley. Last season our last remaining games we won them. West Brom, Blackburn, Sunderland. Our huge support home and away. Especially away support 5,000 allocation sold out and we were at the bottom of the championship. Watch this space the dark horse Sheffield Wednesday could be on the rise again.
Not again đ. One day youâll be sure to get it right. After all a stopped clock is right twice a day.đ, specially with your HUGE support
my manager is a wednesday fan, i was saying to him earlier today looks like you guys are pushing for a top half finish this time round
Think most of us wednesdayites would be happy with mid table after the last few seasons
Just having the positivity to consider this is big in itself đ we just want a club that does things in a Normal and professional manner. Rohl is the man for us, I hope this is the club keeping up with him⊠then, who knows, scraping into 6th would obviously do me ! đŠ
Top Two.
Appreciate the deep dive Ben. Itâs hard not to be optimistic really, what will be interesting is whether Rohl can turn Wednesday from an underdog team fighting for their lives but with nothing to lose, into a playoff contending team with the hype, pressure and profile that Rohl has built. For the sake of all fellow Wednesdayites, I very much hope he can be the one to finally get us back to the premier league đŠ
I do love the optimism about the club itâs very refreshing seeing us get business done early , rohl signing a contract was the best bit of business. Keep seeing some silly statements but Iâd be happy with steady progression and hope maybe more đ€đ»
Top stuff Mr Bloom
Ones to watch out for this season we will be pushing definitely
Hi Ben đ, very excited for the new season, I really do think we could make the top 6, now that would be a change from the stress we've been through for the last 2 seasons đ
Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your encouragement for us at Wednesday. Your Ipswich have done miracles, two promotions back to back. Ipswich will survive.
Mid table with comfort will do me for now, Wednesday need to consolidate on what we have before moving on. Too fast might be disastrous, United found this out.
As soon as he arrived and I saw us play under Rohl, I knew we've got something special here. PREM SOON, MY PREDICTION.
Just keep expecting Chansiri to fuck something up. Nice to have some optimism for the first time in a very long time under Chansiri hopefully it continues top 12 will do me not getting carried away and saying top 6 (yet).
Good morning, Benjamin. I have every confidence that Danny Roehl will lead us to a strong finish. By the way, will you be mentioning the prices set by Mr Chansiri, especially versus Leeds United. As per Grandstand with big numbers, it's ÂŁ54 (FIFTY FOUR) in the South Stand. Working class sport? Not in Sheffield 6. UTO đŠ
Very much so the momentum is being kept with Bannan, Palmer, windass & iorfa have resigned beadle imminent still in talks to bring back ugbo add new signings a mixture of championship experience and unknown quantities along with management skills rohl Powell, pederson there's every reason to believe we could make play offs. We also brought in technical analysis from FC Frankfurt just to add a little more quality to management team.
Also 2 banging kits that are worthy of promotion
Would be happy with mid table tbh. Lots to build on from the end of last season. WAWAW
I'd add that Musaba and Gassama are the closest pair at the club at the same time to Carbone and Di Canio. Same closeness off the pitch too going by the behind the scenes stuff.
Iâd be delighted with top half. A lot depends on how we get in signing a striker. Getting Ugbo back to Hillsborough would be terrific. But keeping Röhl was a massive boost and in the Championship a good manager can quite often pull off a surprise or two!
Happy days for us Wednesday fans. Looking forward to the new season
Rohl is the best manager in the league. His coaching team is premier league quality (and the newest addition is the opposition analyst who won the europa league with Frankfurt) Chansiri deserves loads of credit, he's backing his man and keeping quiet. We've done great business so far - we confirmed Beadle's return this afternoon too.
Even if the season starts tomorrow, we're a stronger side than the one that was 7th in that form table. But it doesn't, we've still got a whole month to improve!
Dark Horses is a fair assessment i think. We're going to be a nightmare to play against, and i don't think we'll fear anybody. Obviously i'd love to see us taking a tilt at the top 6, and i think we might, but just a season where we play solid football and have a bit of stability will do me.
Can't wait for the derby.
Naive as ever.
You can't say he's the best manager in the league after 1 season... let's be honest.. anyone could have come in and won a few games and then ay he's the best manager
â@@Selyob74your delusional as ever
@@lukefshepherd He's only had half a season!! oh and overexposure on TVđđđ
@@user-he6kh2bc4s not too sure thereâs many who couldâve saved that season, actually⊠it was record breaking after all.
Plenty more to why I think heâs the best - not just his results.
Heâll be at the very top of the game within a decade (and no, I donât think heâll be taking Wednesday with him, but weâll enjoy the ride whilst weâve got him đ)
Thereâs a lot of positivity around the club at the moment. Iâd take a mid table finish and then push on the next season
Saw the box of alesâŠ. Subscribed
Love it đșđșđș
Championship top spot is a shout
Be happy with 12th or higher. Some stability and building is fine. Anything else a bonus
Just announced Beadle's back for the full season. If DR can work his magic on the new squad, there's every chance we could be in contention.
Finally feels like we have the same infrastructure as Brighton, Brentford etc and potentially even better in terms of coaching. Under Rohl we now have a squad full of younger players with possibly large future fees.
Definitely dark horses. I'd be happy with mid table though. Steady progress
Depends on the time to gel aspect but I expect play offs maybe automatic 4 Wednesday.
Danny Rohl had a meeting with Dejphon Chansiri and told him get serious or i walk .. fair play to Chansiri weâve made some decent signings .. if we can resign Bernard Ugbo and Paveda we should be in a position to have a good go this season ..
Beadle signed tonight 7th signing so far.. looking a good squad
We need a striker mate first. But in Röhl we trust!
I think Wednesday will go up next season, something very special could be happening with the club
Play offs against Peterborough, survival miracle the following season. Promotion next season.
Thereâs a very good feel at the club at the moment
Also if you look at form since rohl has come in we were 3rd-5th in the table on results
Very optimistic tbh, best pre season we've had in a long time.
The Owls are going up! Danny Danny Rooooooohl!
Yes...top 8 material for sure....not a wed fan.
Think it'll be better than last year
Mid table and seeing a well run club would be very welcome.
I just wanna finish above Utd, if we can get top six thatâs a bonus
Ask Ipswich before last season if they thought they would have challenged the top and gone up in auto play off they would have been more than happy with Sheffield wensdays finishing position how ever momentum and confidence is everything in football plus u need a little bit of luck
We at Hillsborough are optimistic but patient . Come on wednesday â€
Wouldnt go as far as patient lol, especially after beginning of last season & the matter regarding our chairman throughout the season hahahaha. I am a Wednesday fan btw. Fingers crossed at least mid table for us and then push on for top 6 next then who knows WAWAW UTO.
To be honest Benjamin I would settle for mid table mediocrity, a season without trepidation and dread would suit me fine for 1 season.
Play offs is probably a little ambitious- most teams that manage top 6 are going to have at least 2 or 3 top quality players, the 10-20m range, which Wednesday donât have, but with a couple more additions will have good players all over and the depth to cope with injuries or change the system, so top 10 is within possibility and once you are there, play offs are not out of reach
Too many Wednesday fans lack ambition
Millwall won 4-0 there, a few weeks later they won 2-0 at the Den. They looked a good side.
If these players can gel and Danny stays we should be up the right end of the table, play offs would be a bonus
Think DR will leave a legacy at S6 with all his signings maybe creating a new era at SWFC.đŠđ
I'm not gonna say we're optimistic but we'll finish in the top one.
How many times has Germaine Lowe been linked with millwall and never comes?
Unsure why QPR donât get the same attention when we were in a similar position to Wednesday and had just as good form by the end and if not better. However, Iâll take us going about our business quietly if not
My memory is they got exactly the same attention through the back end of last season
@@BenjaminBloom more from a wider media outlet than you personally. Good coverage from yourself plus having Sam Parkin and some dedicated QPR fans part of the channel it seems in terms of live chat helps too. Hope to see the check in with Sam continue next season
Sheffield Wednesday, invincibles 2024/25.
After the last 2 seasons I just want midtable boredom please đ give Danny time to sort the club out although with Chansiri it will never be sorted and I see Danny in the premiership before long with another club đą
I'm seeing a lot of positive comments.
i honestly see us sneeking into playoffs i dont see 6 teams that are looking better than us right now. UTO đŠ
Gunna finish in top 6 with ease bookmark it
Think theyâll do well next season. Canât see us (Blades) doing anything. Ownership problems, no players, Wilder lost it but hopefully may leave
@@antonyware9887 We'll still do better than S6, don't forget all our Prem experience and Wembley appearances, have some faith we'll be ok.
@@Selyob74 hope youâre right mate. Ownership needs sorting
@@antonyware9887 Ye it's getting tedious now but this is the way we do business. It hasn't stopped our first signing so hopefully more to come, UTB.
We will have a good season, but we will be nowhere near promotion. IMO
And with Chansirri, he's done exactly what the fans wanted.. left the club alone and let the people who know what they're doing run it, but allowed Danny to do his business, and given him money.
Champions
Take away those games managed by Xisco and the settling in period for Rohl then we were well up there.
We have added what looks to be some quality signings.
Just need to get Dishon Bernard to resign and get ugbo back in
Of course weâre going up.. Wednesday are a Premier League team- itâs time we go back to where we rightfully belongđđŒđ
10k views? sheff weds entire fan base wattched this vidđ
Lowe was a bit meh at the Lane
I don't see why Wednesday shouldn't be more successful than Real Madrid at this rate, with a 200,000 capacity stadium near the M1. 130,000 safe standing, internationals, northern cup finals, concerts and sponsoring schools in poor countries to educate youngsters for professions (finding new football talent at the same time!) A large capacity stadium could have lots of cheap/free admissions too!
If chansiri doesnât have another meltdown preseason Iâll say Wednesday are nailed on for a playoff place. And then, wait for itâŠâŠâŠwill meet Sheffield Utd in the final, cheers and tears! Thatâs what us outsiders want.
United will be in a relegation battle next season
Automatic. You heard it here first.
Easy
No chance look at teams like midds Coventry teams like this have spent millions there be mid table
Nope, this is the issue. Some Wednesday fans are expecting far too much after last season's great escape
Too many Wednesday fans lack ambition and sound like they almost donât want to finish in a promotion place
@@Secret19977 I'd rather be pleasantly surprised that depressingly disappointed. Pride comes before a fall as they say
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no
I'm wednesday but I'd take a mid table finish now if you offered it me
No
Not for me, good head coach in Rohl, but they look a club with very little plan for me. Jamal Lowe is a decent pick up but that aside just looks like they lack any real ambition for me. A load of squad fillers with very little quality, 4 of them are free. No doubt their fans will be excited simply because they're doing some business, but it all just screams mid table at best.
Bitter we beat you 2-0
@Secret19977 I couldn't be less bitter if I tried. Our season was long done, we were on the beach. Like me saying bitter we beat you 0-3. Nobody cares. What I've said is true, and I quite like Wednesday. If you think your signings screams ambition, then you're deluded đ€Ł
@@sch9673 tell me how it doesnât have ambition
@Secret19977 think it's pretty clear. You have very little money to spend, you've signed 2 cheap players and 4 freebies. Ambition isn't going straight out there, signing a load of experienced free agents then saying "pwah top 6 charge" because you've signed around 6 players really early đ€Ł wheres the quality? Seriously? Out of 6 signings the best is Jamal Lowe who was bang average at best at Swansea. This isn't a get at Wednesday either, I've told you, I quite like Wednesday. Open your eyes. Your fans were buzzing with Ingelsson...a 26 year old attacking midfielder with only 3 goals in 115 games in the German 2nd division. Pwah, quality.
â@Secret19977 The Mackem is entitled to his opinion and could be right. You'll know, though, as I do, that Danny Roehl is capable of gelling a squad and thereby a top 10 finish is achievable. UTO đŠ
Wednesday could well be top six I reckon. Great manager will make the difference. May put 50p on promotion
đ
Massive club very loyal fans Mismanaged Badly for 24 Years
only two close calls back to the promise land for a club who was always in it plus one of the Best Teams in England in early 1990s 3 Major Cup finals Europe 84-2000 top tier apart from 1991
Top 10-6 this year nest season they do the Business but we would take it now tho
In Danny Rohl we trust đ
Very Positive around Hillsborough stadium best mood since Big Ron Atchinson days
đ·đ·đ·
No. They are not set for a play-off challenge. Nothing to see here, move along.
Absolutely not a hope of getting above mid table. This is the toughest league to get out of, oh and stay in and buying untried cheap players won't cut it, 12TH highest position.
Can't wait to see you cry when your relegated
What a daft post. Weâve added several new and significantly better players, signed up all those out of contract we wanted to keep and apparently expect a couple or so more significant players to join us. We will walk top 6 our form for the last 20 or so was seventh. Weaker teams coming down than going up. We will be in play offs imo.đ As usual top YouTubing Ben well done mate.
