Arise Capital Partners LLC, comprising of David Storch, Michael Storch and Tom Costin, has been selected as Sheffield Wednesday’s new preferred bidder. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ A good night for #htafc as Reading and Stevenage miss the chance to leapfrog them in the table. What a battle it’s going to be for those final couple of play-off places. Town still have Reading and Wycombe to play at home. Plymouth away will be very tough; they’re on a roll.

The Kop rise to salute Liam Palmer at full time. What a servant. What a pro. #SWFC 👏👏👏

FT: #SWFC 1 Watford 1. The wait for a home win goes on.

But Wednesday avoided a 14 successive defeat in front of their prospective new owners, picking up point number 12 of the season. It is another draw with Watford.

Takes them onto -6. Nine matches to go.

GOAL! Watford scramble the ball home from close range. More late heartbreak for #SWFC. 🦉⚽️

Yates goes off to a huge round of applause. Get him signed up for next year. What a baller. 😀

McGhee comes off too.

Iorfa and McNeill on.

McNeill has missed a golden chance to make it two nil. Was clean through. Shot straight at Selvik. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

The away end chanting 'we had a shot' as Charles makes a routine stop. 71 minutes gone. #SWFC lead 1-0. 🦉⚽️

This isn't a slight on #SWFC - they deserve to be leading with the way they've performed in the second half. Have played well and scored a super goal.

But Watford are in the top 10 of the Championship and have been absolutely garbage. It's not a good division. 🦉⚽️

Lowe's shot is somehow cleared off the line following good work down the left by Adaramola. Great noise now from the #SWFC fans. 🦉⚽️

Bullet Yates header from a pinpoint Fusire cross to the back post. Lovely stuff. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Lowe forces Selvik into action after a dangerous #SWFC break. Encouraging start by Wednesday to the second half. Would be great to see them get their noses in front to give themselves a platform to build on. 🦉⚽️

HT: #SWFC 0 Watford 0. Fourteen shots at goal between the two sides. Only one effort on target.

Wednesday have contained the visitors pretty well but created little (their xG is 0.2).

Palmer leading by example at the back on his big night. There's a result here for them. 🦉⚽️

Superb save from Charles to keep out Kjerrumgaard from close range. Watford have been wasteful in front of goal. #SWFC are doing what they can to frustrate them. Still 0-0. 🦉⚽️

Good spell of pressure for #SWFC as Yates and Fusire threaten. It remains goalless after 28 minutes. 🦉⚽️

Could be 2-0 Watford already. Kjerrumgaard - usual spelling - fires wide from close range. Strong start from the visitors. Chakvetadze is doing his thing on the ball. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

‘He’s one of our own, he’s one of our own, Liam Palmer, he’s one of our own.’

All about this man at Hillsborough tonight. Will make his 500th appearance for the club. What an ambassador he has been for #SWFC. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Listened to Kevin Nagle's latest video diary. He has urged the fans to get behind the team in the final 10 matches.

Would have liked him to have addressed the low home attendances and say what the club plan to do to get supporters coming back to the Accu Stadium. #htafc

I promise I’ll stop banging on about my book at some point. Today is not that day. 😏

🔵⚪️ Will #htafc make the play‑offs? If they do, their home form will be the reason.

Eleven unbeaten at the Accu Stadium and four huge tests coming next: Lincoln, Cardiff, Reading and Wycombe. Getting Low, Whatmough and Radulovic back for some of those matches would be massive.

Jerry Yates to BBC Radio Sheffield's Adam Oxley on the #SWFC away end at Derby:

“I've never seen fans like that. There is only a certain amount of clubs in England that can get a following like that, especially in this position, and be bouncing for the full 90 minutes."

He gets it.

🔵⚪️ A much-needed #htafc win. Liam Manning will be happy with the clean sheet.

The overall performance? Really poor against an injury-hit team. Looked disjointed and bereft of creativity for long periods.

Won’t get anything against Lincoln, Cardiff etc playing like this.

🔵⚪️ Cameron Humphreys has played well in the second half. Grafted hard and has kept things simple in possession. Bali Mumba has also done ok at right-back. Seven minutes left plus added on time for #htafc to see it out and pick up three big points in the play-off race.

🔵⚪️ This is Bobby Wales’ big opportunity. Has got to make an impact. #htafc have to ask more questions of the Rotherham defence. One shot on target in 66 minutes against a team in a relegation scrap is totally unacceptable. Everything is so slow and predictable.

07.03.2026 13:54 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

🔵⚪️ Is Ryan Ledson playing? Not remotely good enough from the captain. Humphreys and Evans have found it tough going too. Will cut Evans some slack given his injury troubles.

The balance looks all wrong in midfield. Is lightweight. Missing McGuane big time. #htafc

🔵⚪️ Radinio Balker has picked up a groin injury. Would imagine that will be him out of action for a period of time. Josh Feeney replaces him at centre-back. Murray Wallace has been rock solid so far. One of the few players who has turned up for #htafc today.

🔵⚪️ Playing one up front against a team with the worst away record in League One doesn’t sit well with me. Still waiting for #htafc to register a shot on target. Everyone, bar Ashia, looks frightened to death to try something in the final third. It’s sideways and backwards.

07.03.2026 13:12 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

🔵⚪️ We’re 34 minutes and it feels like Cameron Ashia is carrying virtually all of Huddersfield Town’s attacking threat. This is only Ashia’s third league start. Totally unfair on the young man.

Why is Marcus Harness is on the right flank? Completely wasted there. #htafc

🔵⚪️ So many empty seats at the Accu Stadium for a Yorkshire derby. It’s a sign of where #htafc are as a club right now. So sad.

You would think Rotherham are pushing for the top six rather than Town the way they’ve started this one. Lethargic start from the hosts.
