The season effectively is over, Wednesday not in the promotion mix up. Is it all doom and gloom, or are there brighter things ahead?

End of the season summary:

That's it then, no surprises that our slim play off hope came to nothing, and with a game to go the season peters out. Yet for the first time in donkey's I await the dawn of the new season with galvanised optimism, I really can't wait for it to begin. This is something Wednesdayites haven't been able to say for years. Even after Cardiff I was worried that we would go straight back down. There are many plus points to this season, doubles over Leicester (sorry snail/piz), Barnsley, Ipswich, W.B.A, Crystal Palace, and hopefully Norwich come Sunday afternoon. Nobody wants to play us, we are no longer the divisions easy three pointers. Of course to maintain our form we need to make sure we don't do a Luton and sell our top players, lke Brunt, Macca and Wood. We also require a new goalie (after his drop gainst Man utd Turner may be available next season). A Centre back would do us good, and some cover on the left for Brunty. All this should be possible with the promised cash injection by the board (don't hold your breath on that though).

So roll on Sunday, come on you owls, winning finish to the season in front of the (hopefully) swelled Wednesday masses. To be a Wednesdayite, you need to either be naively optimistic, or else gluton for puishment opus dei style. I am an optimist, I think next year is our year. Thank you, you Blue and White Wizards for such a fantastic end to the season!
