At least we can see the shirt doesn't need to shrink in order to fit.

What kind of salary are Wednesday paying Aiden?

Second start of the season for McGeady today, and second time this season his replacement changed the game... eek!

Therefore we can say his presence (or lack of) had a positive impact on the game.

If McGeady couldn't shine in Stainless, then what hope would there be for him?

Jeez hope he get match fit and starts making an impact. Although, I think the premier league would actually suit him better than the championship in a weird way

I wasn't totally serious although Nuhiu was supposed to have had a big impact in turning the game. McGeady was supposed to have played well though, being praised for his direct play and crosses of all things.

He had one particular good run from the halfway line all the way in to the Birmingham box and then.....he lost possession.

back in the starting XI for Wednesday tonight, substituted after 61 minutes in a 1-1 draw with QPR

They scored a minute after taking him off again! Again though, he was supposed to have played well enough.

OwlsFan

24/02/2016, 9:24 AM

He missed the previous game due to a "dead leg" so possibly substituted due to tiredness - not sure. Reports show that he was involved in a number of moves, including one leading up to a penalty (missed by Niall Quinn gone wrong, Nuhiu).

Lad I'm working with at the moment is an Owl fan and is a season ticket holder....he was raving about how good McGeady was this morning. You'd think Sheffield Wed had signed Messi he was that excited!

If it's a choice between a raw James McClean and a raw Aiden McGeady I would play McClean every time.

Far less frustrating player and more likely to grab a goal.

I would agree. But then there's things like Georgia:

i feel as i type this i am forgetting something significant, but has he done much since georgia?

taken off at half time in wednesday's loss at home to rotherham in a tactical switch. i wouldn't think his place in the squad is at risk - yet - but the likes of judge will be wondering why they aren't ahead of him in the pecking order.

in his defence i guess he has not played first team football for a while so it will take some time to get back up to speed.

DeLorean

Not even in the squad tonight... any hope coming off on Saturday so early was injury related?

Rotated according to Carvalhal. No injury.

OwlsFan

11/03/2016, 9:04 AM

McGeady was subbed against Rotherham because he wasn't effective and dropped from the squad against Brighton because the manager set up the team for a draw. Word on the street is that he hasn't won the fans over and most aren't impressed. Getting worried for him.

Charlie Darwin will come on and give some words of encouragement, and dimiss all Wednesday fans as nonsensers. Don't you worry Owls.

I wish he was playing in some mid-tier spanish or italian team.

As I suspected, a miscued cross. I've always said he'd do that eventually.

Good goal actually about 1.20 in to this http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/championship/10202738/nottm-forest-0-3-sheff-wed An excellent run as well about 20 seconds before. Subbed as usual though.

He has a decent left foot. His two goals V Georgia were with his left and he almost scored a peach before half-time V Poland at home with his left.

McGeady's had some pretty bad games for Ireland recently but didn't think this was one of them. I just don't think there's really a place for him in O'Neill's system, and he's not doing anything to suggest O'Neill should change the system for him.

DeLorean

26/03/2016, 8:34 AM

Yeah he sounds likes a guy just trying to find fault, as much as it seemed like he was trying to find reasons to praise Doyle, which was deserved but let's not go over the top. Zero balance in that. He might be the fall guy but he worked hard last night and had some good moments.

geysir

26/03/2016, 10:10 AM

He was off his own pace. A couple of times it looked like he had little determination to hold onto the ball. In saying that, he was double and triple marked when he got on the ball.
At least he copped on to supporting Coleman in the 2nd half and not leave him one on one, which is our default full back support mode.

Stuttgart88

26/03/2016, 4:46 PM

I thought Mcgeady was ok. He and Judge had their work cut out as the two guys between them had little influence.

OwlsFan

30/03/2016, 6:34 PM

Why do you say that? He rarely gets beyond 45 minutes at Sheffield. However, there is probably little doubt that he'll be in the panel.

Jaysus, how did he go from toying with the AC Milan defence in the Champions league to the Sheffield Wednesday manager still having faith in him?

I can guarantee you that over the years I have seldom heard a Wednesday manager saying he has faith in a player :)

Ross Wallace got himself sent off last night so I expect McGeady to start in the next couple of games at least.

Things must be at a very low ebb for Aiden currently if he has ended up behind Ross Wallace in the queue, a player who would not be remotely close to him in ability and performance while they were together at Celtic.

The commentator just said that Aiden's father, John McGeady (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McGeady), had a spell with Sheffield United in the seventies. He's had a decent enough first half, useful in possession and working back well.
