Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast: Recent Episodes
Dr Luke Gleadall and Richard Millar
A podcast from two obsessive Sheffield Wednesday fans, we felt the world needed another couple of cisgender white guys sharing their opinion - so you are welcome. We’ll discuss news and performances and meander into other bits and bobs that we find interesting. There will be themed episodes and hopefully we’ll all have fun and find that the real podcast, was the podcast, that we podcasted along the way.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the (podcast) water, here's an unexpected delivery from Different Gravy. A run-in check-in and a real chance to catch up on all that's happened since Danny Röhl's appointment. We look back at the transfer window dealings, recent form, take a look at the wunderbar wunderkind himself, before making some sloppy predictions for the matches between here and the end of the season.

Happy New Year folks!
Here's part two of our Mid-Season Review - we cover the juicy last 10 players and run the rule of Rohl and his predecessor.
PS There's even more silly after the theme at the end.

For Sheffield Wednesday this season (2023/24) has been one of contrast, the abysmal first 10 matches or so under grumpy, charlatan Xisco Munoz and the markedly better run since under German coaching whizz Danny Rohl. The players have had similar swings, some asked to do unfamiliar or uncomfortable jobs under Xisco then recast or recalled under Rohl's regime. To pick it all apart and gain some perspective please join us for part one of or Mid-Season Review, in which we run the rule over just over the half the players who have contributed this season and assign them school style grades (which schools don't use anymore).
Part way through the episode we hit on a Meal Deal based grading system too, if that sounds like your sort of thing then please join us!
PS Hang around at the end for something silly.

A timely canning of Xisco and our shiny new manager has brought the Gravy Boys out of their slumber. The title refers to the, subjective opinion here, awful KFC sandwich, or as Rich pus it a "nice sandwich in pooey bread". "Pooey bread" slice one gets into how embarrassed we were to even feel remotely optimistic about Xisco Munoz's reign and the false dawn of last time we broke Wednesday bread. And as a result the second end slice of poop loaf gets into the disappointing set of players who have helped give Wednesday the worst start to their football league campaign ever.
But don't worry, there is some goodness in the meat and we can recall how to get giddy and overexcited as we welcome the striking and enigmatic Deutsche video analyst upstart, Danny Röhl, to the Wednesday manager position. Do Luke and Rich get into a series of dire stereotypical German impressions? Ja. Do we get carried away fantasizing about Röhl getting the club out on the Autobahn and whipping her into fifth? Natürlich!

Goodbye the 2022/2023 season - "you were a real one!"
Hello the 2023/2024 season - "what's that smell? could you check your shoes please, I don't want that tramped all through the house, I'm not accusing you but it didn't smell like that before you arrived." etc
Due to our questionable judgement we decided to sit down on the transfer window equivalent of Boxing Day and exhaustively talk through all the major events of a very busy summer. We love a gimmick so the idea was to rate everything on a 'Whelomoter' 5 point scale of Totally Underwhelmed (1) - Partly/Slightly Under Whelmed (2) - Whelmed (3) - Slightly/Partly Over Whelmed (4) - Completely Overwhelmed (5)
Here's the list if you want to play along at home:
Sacking of Moore
Reece James Signing
Manager search and Xisco appointment
Xisco press conference
Friendlies
Juan Delgado signs
Ashley Fletcher signs
Pol Valentin signs
Di'Shon Barnard signs
Bambo Diaby signs
Anthony Musaba signs
Southampton Game
Devis Vasquez signs
Stockport Game
Lamine Diaby signs
Hull Game
Djeii Gassama signs
Preston Game
Cardiff Game
USA Takeover/Fakeover
Mansfield Game
Jeff Hendricks signs
John Buckley signs
Leeds Game

Part two of our Player Reviews effectively puts the amazing 2022/23 season to bed with a spoiler alert tear strewn finale. An exhausting, thrilling, terrible and wonderful season - typical Wednesday, as they say. Listen past the outro song for a little bonus treat. We also run our (latent) fashionista eyes over the new kit and sponsor.

Thanks to Mike Dee for this great effort -
Kick it!
You wake up late for training, Cam you don't want to go
You ask Moore to please? but he still says, no
You missed two crosses, and no footwork
You parry shots on target like some kind of jerk
It's not right, you're so shite, at your age
Stockdale caught you eating, pies, man he says, "No way"
Stocky hypocrite eats four pies a day
Man, sitting on the bench is such a drag
But you're banking crazy wages, so keep up the blag, busted
It's not right, you're so shite, at your age
It's not right
Don't step out on that pitch if that's the best you gonna play
I'd kick you out of S6 if I had my way
Chansiri busted in and said, what's that noise?
Dejphon you're just jealous it's the Different Gravy Boys

We've all been waiting since December to find out is Alex Mighten improve on his mid-season B-? Well the wait is finally over because we are proud to present our exhaustive end of season player reviews. Spread across a generous two episodes and continuing our Countdown inspired 'one from the top, one from the bottom' squad order, we talk about the first 14 players here and the remaining squad members and the all important big boss man Darren Moore at the end of next week's episode.

Hey You Guys! We are back with the final B.O.O.B.S. session for this 2022/23 season as we review the League One Play Off Final against Barnsley. Join us to hopefully find an undercurrent of success and joy running beneath reviewing a mildly dour big game that nevertheless ends in beautiful breathtaking triumph. This episode has got it all... perm helmets, corrupt American senators, RDA of humour, Rich's niche RawArse rating, Asterix the Gaul, Luke doesn't know how to pronounce marathon etc.
Next week we will be back to recap and get our judgey-wudgey on the full player ratings!

And with what we felt would be the last episode of the B.O.O.B.S. Sessions (“The Last Crusty Cop A Feel?”), the mighty Sheffield Wednesday pull off the greatest comeback in playoff football history. Join us for an episode so lengthy that we almost considered doing a live watch back. In it we once again go back to our in-depth analysis to capture all of the delight and elation of the Masterclass put on by Darren Moore’s Sheffield Wednesday. Expect talk of Mechs, Steve Bruce reparations, and more adventures of Detective Paterson.

The Different Gravy: The B.O.O.B.S (Back On Our Bull S***) Sessions continue, sadly. This was a rough one, as rough as they come. We try and remember how we used to do these match reviews and just about hold back the tears as we discuss the Play Off Semi Final leg one. There's some room thankfully for the odd fun digression Callum Paterson as hard bitten noir detective, Michael Smith exposed as the Greggs loving fiend that he is, the usual talk about willies. Join us, if you dare!

Welcome to "Different Gravy: The B.O.O.B.S (Back On Our Bull S***) Sessions"! The first episode back after the boys gave a murky halftime season review for the 22/23 season sees Luke and Rich give a slightly more optimistic, or less urine soaked chips, viewpoint on the end of the regular season. Recorded with Rich finding the least sweaty place he could park following a rare victory over Derby (expect sound effects of police, ambulances, and birds (Song of the South Stand, anyone?)), we get into a brief coverage of the game, a check into the lads’ whelm-o-meters, and look ahead to the playoffs. Expect talk of Paul Warne almost making a Ralph Wiggum heartbreak face, the wonders of a Mr. Physio Magic Sponge, and Darren Ferguson’s early work.
The Gravy Boys will also be back to review the glory/misery of the forthcoming Playoffs, so keep it locked!

Join us in embarking on 2023 with our final look at the squad at the halfway point of the 2022/23 season. In Part Deux, we begin with Dennis Adeniran and then finish off with Akin Famewo before ending up debating Mr. Moore's pros and cons. If that sounds underwhelming, then don't worry, there is plenty of meat to get into. On the way we get into Cockney Corporals, prodigal wunderkids supping Hooch by the bike sheds, and Luke nearly makes himself cry from depressing himself.
Happy New Year!

Luke and Rich are back... with disappointing results! Listen as we review the SWFC squad for the first half of the 22/23 season just before mid-season eve (playing Fleetwood). In this first of two new episodes, we take a snake-like approach winding their way through the squad numbers starting at one "Mr. Wednesday" Liam Palmer to another "kinda Mr. Wednesday" in Cammy Dawson. Listen and find out why Alan Michael Sugar Trading has nothing to worry about from Rich, Moore is tyre-kicking donkeys at Blackpool, and whose aging Rolls Royce bod do we want to get out of the garage.
It's a pleasure to come back for these special episodes and we want to wish a Merry Christmas/Lovely Festive Period to all Wednesdayites everywhere!

A weekly look at all things Sheffield Wednesday - news, views, boardroom politics and the all important performances on the pitch. Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. The 150th episode (and last) of Different Gravy has a special treat with the Boys decreeing their Favourite and Worst XIs from their Wednesday-watching careers in one of the chunkiest episodes yet. We also cover best and worst manager, break hoo-hoos for the last time, and thank the many sweet people who have sent sweet and lovely messages in. And yet there is still more that happens! Further episode notes: Also thanks to Samuel Gleadall for the intro suggestion and enjoy the alternative theme tune done by DJ Millstar. Forgive the emotions and blubbering in this episode as we for the last time give our love letter to Sheffield Wednesday. We have loved making the show and we dearly thank you for listening.

Join us as we tune this radio all the way from NML to FML (Lewis Wing), getting all judgey-wudgey on every station (player) we come across. We also end up with more pithy awards with Luke's Mount Rushmore faces of reinvention and the most disastrous signing of the year. Then we finally cast judgment on everyone's second-favourite Big Dave, Darren Mark Moore.

Part deux of the 21/22 Season Review AKA giving the Wednesday players gold stars or a stern telling off. In this episode, which is an atypically tight hour in length, we cover Dunkley through to Action Mass. Don't worry, we can't forget the heady times of Andre Green and we also mention Wednesday players by their full government names for shits and giggles.

Finally we recap the 21/22 season in a formal fashion with ranking all the pupils, err, I mean players of Sheffield Wednesday. So whacky and large are our thoughts that we have to split it into three episodes to digest fully. Part one of three starts off with the all too predictable journey of Adedoyin to Dele-Bashiru.

This episode was also nearly called "Big Night for Petroleum Jelly at S6" named for the sheer level of vaseline applied to cuts and bruises, and not for... well, you know, any funner activities. Join us (or not, we get it) for a rundown of the tragic denouement to Wednesday's 21/22 season in the review of the home "draw that was a defeat" against Sunderland. Mixed and plentiful emotions alongside Luke's sausage cup, Rich's Storey as singer-songwriter comparison, and dreaded memories of that gobby knobhead from school.

In this week’s episode we ponder the space between a rock and a hard place, between two stools etc as we sit in the taint between two legs of Play Off football. Luke is disappointed and pessimistic for the home leg, Rich is more upbeat and positive (though maybe just for Covid) - somehow Wednesday will prove the both wrong. WAWAW

Luke and Rich lift their tired voices and certainly get lyrical (along with waxing lyrical) to toast Wednesday having a great day in the S6 Sunshine in front of a bumper crowd. We get into saluting Georgie Byers, the complexion of Alan Irvine, and the failed kids puppet George Horse.

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club sit comfortably in 5th place in SkyBet English Football League One - with a game in hand on some divisional rivals and a competitive goal difference - so why are we suffused with a deep unease? The facts all look good but it doesn't feel like things are going that well. Along comes a match that feels like the season in a nutshell, sailing high and comfortable, then humbled on the basics.

Oh, and how good was that Jack Hunt goal?!?! A weird game, for sure, but one in which we put four past Luke’s new hated team, Cheltenham Town Football Club. Come enjoy with us these three points and sneaking back into the top six.

Luke and Rich (AKA Jack Bauer of the pod, Psychic Physio etc.) really enjoy themselves in this episode. Maybe the lethal comeback against Donny Rovers in a 3-1 win allows the Boys to be in a jovial mood to cover a Captain Planet reboot and Roald Dahl commentary references. We also highly support mental health, but maybe not strange promotional materials for mental health campaigns… but hey, now we all know how to recognize a Doncastrian in distress.

In "Loose Gids Sinks Ships", Wednesday's arch-nemesis, Andy "Snitch" Giddings, almost gets away with it if it wasn't for those pesky Wednesday kids. Luckily despite our weaknesses and Football Heaven's worst commentator being a tattle-tale, we enjoy three goals, three points, and some of the best attacking play we have seen this season. We also get into the mystery defender transfer conjecture and try to get through the anonymous terrible awful of the midweek cup exit to Plymouth. WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Don't worry about anything new or daring, as Darren Moore has the same stuff for us Wednesdayites in the 1-1 draw against Gillingham. It's all much like a new and unoriginal episode of How I Met Your Mother that will give you the Mandela effect. In this episode we talk injuries, the bizarre and entertaining Harrogate spin-off game, and then get into the main course. Oh, and Rich compares Luke to Steve Evans from the off. WAWAW

Praise for a makeshift CB? Joy of an entertaining 0-0? Luke and Rich are maybe exhibiting the positive side effects of Moore-itis and we are a little confused by what we enjoy here in the goalless draw against Plymouth in the FA Cup. We get into covering this weirdly pleasing First Round game and Wednesday whupping Sunderland 3-0 midweek. Expect bad pitches of opponent fan forums, the best "Hippo in Show", and hapless tool Lee Dixon cracking the Wee Baz corner conundrum. WAWAW

The Twilight Zone is an American anthology TV series that has run in one form or another since 1959 - episodes draw on different genres including fantasy, science fiction, absurdism, dystopian fiction, suspense, horror, supernatural drama, black comedy, and psychological thriller, often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist, and usually with a moral. The Twi-shite Zone is the current season for Sheffield Wednesday and maybe the season before and whilst each individual match maybe a different genre the final results is always the same a ruined weekend for thousands of Wednesdayites. This latest spoooooky tale leaves us with the questions is this a point gained or two points lost? And who the heck is Jonny-Rocks?

Another relatively short episode in the books for Different Gravy, but then there's two dour servings of dreck to cover this episode so we clip along at a real pace to not ruin any more of our weekend. Rich and Luke focus mainly on the bore score draw hosting those Imps at Hillsborough and then try to recover memories of the midweek tosh at Cambridge in "Breaking HooHoos". Featuring Bannanfish, the boys being glib pun-heavy journos, and the anti-King and Worthington.

Are people Wednesday fans because they are miserable or miserable because they are Wednesday fans? One of life's biggest questions. We make a surprisingly serious attempt to answer it before and during a wade through the latest missive from the Darren Moore Extended Cinematic Universe. This weeks effort a haphazard M. Night Shyamalan joint where he pulls a big twist but unfortunately its one we've all seen before.
We make some enjoyable detours but unfortunately in the end can't escape the fact that this was a sickener of a final result.

A lesser spotted win! And it was unconvincing! Not the greatest advert for the third tier in a rare non-cancelled game on an International Break, but we steal the "loaned points" at home against Bolton. Also we briefly cover the pizza cup game midweek as part of a slow news week. Expect Luke and Rich to talk about that man from Oldham (not Paul Scholes), pissing off a potential entire cache of supporters, and getting a numb rear-end through sitting through a post-credits scene of the DMCU (Darren Moore Cinematic Universe).

That old and nagging feeling of experiencing something we have experienced before. And a poor joke about how bad Wednesday are that we think we have made before, but it has that feel, you know? In Wednesday's sickening 1-1 draw with the Tractor Boys, we get into a few things we have seen before: BPF's repeating clangers, the nature of his clanger this week resembling something from an old Own Goals VHS, and whether we could be seeing something bigger repeat in the future.

Disappointment yet again and another game against third-tier cloggers that we should have won as Wednesday draw 1-1 with Shrewsbury at Hillsborough. Much like a pointless "live" news broadcast, Rich is at the scene at Middlewood Road while Luke feels the party has been pooped on his birthday weekend. We talk about as much of it as we can bear including references to the failed rebranding of Dennis the Menace's outfit, the all-knowing all-seeing stats on Baz's penalty kicks, and Liam Palmer frothing at the mouth with goal rabies.

Another weekend game and another disappointing match, and loss, for Rich and Luke to mull over. Ryan Lowe's Plymouth Argyle deliver new "Lowes" to Wednesday in a 3-0 drubbing and you wonder if the optimism tank is running on fumes for the nigh-300 mile trip there. The boys get into all of it including another Corbeannu show that is NSFW (Not Suitable For Winning), BPF becoming a pizza chef, and wee Baz looking like a bonny boy in his pink outfit.

Unfortunately no "Big Shrimpin'" ala Jay-z feat. UGK for SWFC as we are on the end of a "Mild Shrimping" which is some seafood-related condition found from eating a slightly off prawn cocktail. Not only is Wednesday's trip to the seaside pissed upon in their 1-0 defeat, but Rich is ill and Luke is doubly irked by Andy Giddings' jazz-like ramblings. A difficult game to watch, but we hope is a better listen as we cover Dom Howson as Highlander, League One's wealth of weird European keepers, and Jimmy Bullard's crap nickname.

The first of our Summer episodes is out now, the plan is to come up with something different every couple of weeks. This time we stretch our legs and take a walk down memory lane by watching and discussing the 2011 documentary Four Year Plan - which sees QPR on the hunt for promotion under new ownership. New badge, high ticket prices, disdain for fans and the chairman meddling in first team affairs - sound familiar? Obviously lots of spoilers (kinda the point!), if you are interested and haven't watched it in the decade since it came out now is the time - in the UK and Canada its free to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

A nice quiet Christmas week for The Owls - aside from the shock manager sacking, a bombastic press conference from the chairman, the small matter of two wins in a week and several positive records broken. So much news we didn't have the opportunity to properly speculate about a new manager (maybe we'll get a chance next week).
Happy New Year Folks!

This week reminded me of Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who, which ends "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". Despite the fact we had a baseball cap wearing sexagenarian in the technical area, it felt like the same old Wednesday out on the pitch. Maybe we are headed for some squad surgery in the new year?

Quite a week to be a Wednesday fan... a rare chat to the chairman, a recount by the EFL and a win to boot! 10 points gained across two games and off the bottom of the table. As a result we sail into the international break with a bit of a spring in our step there's even some praise for Joey Pelupessy.

One of those weeks with an all too familiar feel - there's probably no way back for this manager and surely its only a matter of time before Coy Gaz gets replaced by another member of the managerial merry-go-round.
