Interesting comments from Corberan in a press conference today:
"Express & Star revealed that Corberan entered his Sheffield Wednesday presser this week with a piece of paper in his hand.
On the piece of paper was two graphs; one showing the form table from the last 25 games in the Championship, and the other showing the form table since Röhl took charge of the Owls.
Corberan said:
“I bring this, which normally I don’t. It was what I showed to my team today. Everyone in football sees the table. Look, they are down and you are up. The people think that there is this distance.
“In the last 25 games, which is more than half of the league, we are in the position seventh. They are in position eighth. Sheffield in that time have achieved 37 points. More than Hull City, or Middlesbrough, or Preston.
“They have achieved 37, we have achieved 40. Only three points difference in the last 25 games. You are going to play against this team.
“We aren’t playing against the Sheffield from the beginning, who couldn’t achieve results – we are playing a team that are with us, fighting to survive. We are fighting to achieve a play-off position. The game is going to be a very, very challenging and demanding game.”
Is he using this for motivation and to avoid complacency or is he getting his excuses in early???
Huge game for us, its a complete sell out so 31k Owls fans there that will be making a lot of noise and hoping to be the 12th man. You guys will make the playoffs without the need for these points, treat us gently accordingly please!! As a goodwill gesture I will not slate him for calling us Sheffield!!!
