'Really defensive and negative' . . . 'What’s Brown got to do?' - Sheffield Wednesday fans have their say on team to play Nottingham Forest

Sheffield Wednesday manager Tony Pulis, looking for his first victory since taking over the reins at Hillsborough, has made two changes for this evening’s huge ‘six-pointer’ against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

He has brought in Joey Pelupessy and Liam Shaw for Callum Paterson and Dominic Iorfa, who is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an achilles injury in the 2-1 defeat to South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley on Saturday.

Wednesday, without a win in eight games, go into tonight’s crunch clash just four points behind Forest – themselves on a wretched run having failed to win in seven matches under Chris Hughton, who replaced the sacked Sabri Lamouchi earlier this season.

Writing on Twitter, our Owls correspondent Joe Crann said: “Good to see Liam Shaw starting for #SWFC again tonight - Tony Pulis clearly sees something in him.

Big opportunity for him, this.”

But what are Wednesdayites saying about tonight’s team news on the social media platform.

Let’s take a look.

@mattkelcher "Mr Pulis, what was it that first attracted you to the 6' 4" Liam Shaw"?

@Bobbydazzler29 Whatever 11 Pulis puts out, will get slated for one reason. Apart from one or two of them, none are anywhere near good enough to represent this club on the evidence we see. We know that and it’s up to them to prove me and others wrong.

@silverfox1867 Pelupessy in and no strikers again. Who is going to goals for us?

@SteelOwl THE SWFC MINDSET: Instead of thinking, "These are a rubbish, let's attack them and really put them under pressure," #SWFC think, "These are rubbish, let's make sure we don't lose to them."

@stevie1953 What the hell is JVA in the team sheet for? No Brown again. Sit back... defend... Forest push on.... score.... we can’t.... defeat. Why can’t we take the game to others?

@BreeseCallum For Pulepessy to get a nod over Fizzy is beyond me. Who in the right mind also plays two defensive midfielders? What’s the definition of insanity?

@Owls1412 What’s Brown got to do?

@swfcottam Really defensive and negative. Not looking forward to this game at all

@KatieHu19984393 See it's all out attack again. Can someone tell Tony we need to win this game please.
