SheffieldGraduate Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Serious question? The last 15 years of watching swfc have be very average, do you that that is effecting your judgement. I certainly have to think twice when considering possible scores for up coming games. I always ask people what they think score will be on match day. Older fans always seem to remember the twists in games from the past, does this explain their negativity? Young supporters are generally more positive is their lack of experience the reason. This is light hearted!! Edited April 7, 2016 by SheffieldGraduate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If the last 15 years are "very average", I hate to think what it would be like to be "bloody awful". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 After living through the Seventies you never take anything for granted when it comes to Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shez owl Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes. I was fully expecting a Blackburn equaliser from us making a mess of it, (in reality they never really got close). I fear the Bristol and MK Games because they will be up for it needing points (what we don't?) It's something that'll take a while to dissipate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Still think there is quite a bit of apathy about the fans. That used to the last 15-20 years this is a new experience for most, sometimes feels to good to be true and waiting for the rug to be pulled.

F. Spiksley Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 From the mid 2000's take a midfield of: Small Lekaj Boden Lunt With options of FJ9 and Clarke up top. Chuck in the legendary corner taking skills of Potter... ...the guile and craft of JOC's harrying of opponents and you have your answer from me.

pride_of_the_road Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Carlos always talks about energy and being positive. We can provide positive energy before the games, singing players names etc At Notts County away when we won 2-1, a guy sang on his own at Ryan Lowe all the way through the warm up. He went on to score the first goal Edited April 7, 2016 by pride_of_the_road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowne Owl Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I think most clubs will have the same worries when they're winning by an odd goal, I must admit I always think we're going to draw or lose when we're under pressure. This season has definitely been a nice change when you are starting to expect wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not so much negative as pessimistic. 50 years of broken dreams teach you not to expect too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Wednesday fans are positive. 1991, all Wednesday fans expected us to beat Man Utd. 93' we all expected to beat Arsenal. 2005, we all knew we'd win the play offs. 2012, we knew we'd go up - even if in the play offs. 2016 - we all go into the play offs feeling like we'd have a chance. Compare that to Bramall Lane where they already think they're beat before every big match - I know which is rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidstoneowl Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) We've spent what amounts to an entire "generation" watching the likes of Middlesbrough, Bolton, Charlton, Fulham, Birmingham, Portsmouth, West Brom, Wigan, Reading, Sunderland, Derby, Hull, Wolves, Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley, QPR, Cardiff, Swansea (BREATH) and others, tooling about in the top flight. Some of them have even managed to build a side, get promoted, survive a season or 3, get relegated, rebuild and get promoted again. I'm not in the slightest bit surprised we are one of the more disillusioned "big city" clubs/sets of fans across the country. Our hopes have been dashed time and time again, and expectations are generally that it will "all go wrong". Kids born as far back as 1995/1996 probably don't remember (nor have seen us play) top flight football, that's kids born TWENTY years ago! However, there is a shift in the force occurring. Meanwhile, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along. Edited April 8, 2016 by maidstoneowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
