Hard not to like Elliot Anderson. Is technically gifted. Will play the forward pass when it is on. Between him and Wharton to partner Rice at the World Cup.

Exquisite strike by Saka for the third goal. A great asset. Wales were diabolical and England made them pay.

🔵⚪️ Not on board with the section of #htafc fans calling for Lee Grant to be sacked after 1️⃣1️⃣ league matches. He deserves more time to gel a new-look squad together.

But we’ve seen in recent years that Kevin Nagle isn’t afraid to pull the trigger. Things must improve sharpish.

A new addition to the men’s toilet at Hillsborough. #SWFC

Coventry boss Frank Lampard said: “I very much sympathise with #SWFC. It’s a tough time for the club.”

Said he could understand why some fans went on the pitch to disrupt the match in the first half. 🦉⚽️

FT: #SWFC 0 Coventry 5. An exhausted, depleted Owls team fall to their heaviest defeat of the season. Would have been a lot more had it not been for the heroics of Horvath.

Two points from a tough week. A very good time for an international break. 🦉⚽️

Sheffield Wednesday fans made their feelings known before some entered the pitch in protest against Dejphon Chansiri. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

George Brown’s face at full time perfectly summed up that one: pure frustration. #SWFC showed great fight tonight and came so close to picking up another win.

Three matches unbeaten now. Given the turmoil off the pitch, it’s unbelievable what the players are producing. 🦉⚽️

I know he scored the equaliser but I don’t like Jamal Lowe centrally. Is better coming in from the left.

Bailey Cadamarteri is wasted on the right. Always puts a shift in and has shown great discipline tonight but offers way more in the lone front man role than Lowe. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

First time I’ve seen Ernie Weaver in action. Can see what all the fuss is about. Looks a very talented young player. Not afraid to bark out instructions to the senior pros. Is in constant communication with Dominic Iorfa. Doesn’t look out of place in the slightest. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

2/2 Big thanks to @James_Smailes for all his help and support. Could not have asked for a better boss.

Thanks to everyone for reading my work and listening to my waffle.

Excited to see what the future brings. No idea what comes next but I'm now open to new opportunities.

1/2 🚨 Today was my last shift as a content editor for Reach's Yorkshire and North East titles. I've made the difficult decision to leave.

Sad to say goodbye. Has been one heck of a ride.

Very lucky to have worked with some wonderful people over the past five-and-a-half years.

🗣️ "It’s not acceptable to come away from home and concede three goals, and it’s not acceptable for them to happen so quickfire, and to really feel like you’re in a game and then the game turns so quickly." #htafc www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Sheffield Wednesday are heading for an eighth defeat from their past 10 matches at Hillsborough (W1 D1). The manager needed way more help in the transfer market but didn't get it.

This dire situation is all on one man. #SWFC

🔵⚪️ Two Yorkshire derbies. Two defeats for Lee Grant.

The late rally doesn't mask another below-par showing on the road. Some huge defensive issues that need to be solved. The team were bullied today. The warning signs were there vs Peterborough. #htafc www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/footba...

🔵⚪️ 'Can we play you every week' sing the Bradford fans. #htafc have been awful in the second half and are lucky it's still only 3-0. Have yet to have a shot on target.

Their away form is a massive concern. This will be their third defeat on the bounce. Big issues to fix.

🔵⚪️ A catastrophic first half display from #htafc. Embarrassing defensive blunders. No leaders. Looked mentally weak. So many passengers.

The only player who can hold his head up high is Herbie Kane. He carried the midfield. Is Ryan Ledson playing? Get David Kasumu on.

Not posted very much on here in the past couple of weeks. It has been a really difficult period for myself and my family, with far too many trips to Manchester Royal Infirmary for my liking.

Looking forward to getting back to a bit of normality and watching some matches today.

Ruben Selles will do well to survive this. It has been a shambolic defensive performance. Got his team selection wrong. They have struggled all season to create chances and Selles started their best attacking player on the bench. Madness.

📝 Huddersfield Town have brought in Will Alves on a season-long loan from Leicester City.

Thirteen players now signed by #htafc - and they might not be finished there. www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/footba...

🔵⚪️ If #htafc sign Zepiqueno Redmond and Will Alves from Aston Villa and Leicester on loan respectively, there’s nowhere to hide for Lee Grant. Been backed by the owner and has to deliver a top-six finish. Automatic promotion, really, ought to be the aim with that squad.

🗣️ “I’m sure Owen will be disappointed but he’s got the support of his peers and he’s certainly got the support of his manager.

“He’ll have to take his medicine, take his learning and be ready to go again.”

🔵⚪️ A desperately disappointing afternoon for Owen Goodman and #htafc.

Town have now shipped in six goals in their past two league matches on the road. Red card was a game changer today but they have got to be harder to beat on their travels. www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Three defeats from four Championship matches for #SWFC. Conceded nine goals. Yet to score at Hillsborough.

The effort is clearly there from a threadbare squad but the quality isn't and that's down to one man and one man only.

Going to be a long old season. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Looking forward to Barnsley vs #htafc this weekend.

Lee Grant will no doubt make plenty of changes to his starting XI. His squad rotation policy has worked well in the early weeks of the season. A trip to Oakwell will be their toughest test to date. www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Callum Paterson said his last couple of seasons at #SWFC were "tough".

🗣️ "I was going through a phase where I wasn’t enjoying it, turning up for training, playing and watching games, but I wasn’t enjoying myself.

“I needed to move on to find somewhere I’d have fun.”
