bigian Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just come across a book entitled " CRAP TEAMS " by Geoff Tibballs ( true ) and he lists the authors worst ever teams . Not surprisingly Sheffield Wednesday are amongst them but rather more surprising is that our near neighbours are not . It was printed in 2011 and the team he has chosen as the owls worst is the 2009-10 team managed by Brian Laws . You may recall that the team of that season included Francis Jeffers and we were knocked out of the f.a.cup by Palace , the league cup by Port Vale and the season finished with relegation after failing to beat Palace in the last match. Dire as it was that season i believe the team we had in the late 70s early 80s was far worse than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) The 03/04 season was my worst ever season watching us. We were so close to dropping into league 2. Had it not been for Mellor scoring regularly we would have done probably. Edited September 14, 2014 by FlyingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 74-77 were the worst. EASILY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Odd...we've had worse teams than that in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 09/10 wasn't even such a terrible squad, it was just very badly managed that season, first badly by Laws (who just seemed to run out of ideas), and then cowardly by Irvine. It was a very bad season, but definitely not our worst. 03/04 and initially 04/05 was the culmination of a fall which had began a fair number of seasons before. All the teams we turned out during that time were terrible and it was mind-numbingly painful to watch us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We shouldn't have been quite as bad as we were when we went down under Irvine. Like others have said, 03-04 was dire, I remember some terrible, terrible games that year. I wasn't around back then but I've heard from others around the time of Burtenshaw we looked about as dire as we ever have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been for Mellor scoring regularly we would have done probably. Mellor was only with us In 10/11 1999/2000 season was the worst by a mile. No fight at all went down without a wimper and our biggest defeat In years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It must be that incredible blades side that went up as basement champions in 81-82 which swung it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnbloodaxe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 74-77 were the worst. EASILY Oh yes bloody dire times... but we still went week after week. It always seemed to be grey damp and bloody cold too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbobdannymaddix Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Ashurst era was particularly bad but maybe not as bad as some of the teams we've put out since 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 1974-1977 1999-2000 2003-2004 2010-2011 those seasons for me are the worst ones in over 40 years of following them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_owl_92 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I wasn't around in the 70's but the 2010/11 season in League 1 under Irvine is the worst I've ever seen. That was a truly awful season. Didn't we get smashed by Exeter, Leyton Orient and Tranmere? The only highlights were the 5-0 vs Hartlepool and the 3-0 against Bristol City in the cup. At one point I feared we would drop into League 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFC_Liam Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My worst would have to be 2010/11 our first season in League One after relegation, abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fight at all went down without a wimper and our biggest defeat In years. roger me I don't know what happened with what I said about Mellor. I think I was going to make a point about the 10/11 season being equally as awful and then go onto applaud Mellor's contribution....I must have just forgotten to mention the first part. I need some sleep I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 03/04 and 10/11 are the worst. Some truly diabolical displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about the 2010/11 season being truly awful and that is all down to A Irvine who as we speak is inflicting on WBA his mind numbing tactics and team selection.God how i must feel for the poor WBA fans who have got to sit and suffer in silence.

SiJ Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 0-0 against Rushden and Diamonds. 2-2 against 9 man Yeovil. 1-3 against Brantford reserves. 1-3 against Plymouth. Just a few that stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
