chazzyowl Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 This is not a Carlos thread, there are far too many of those currently on here. As a millennial supporter (25 years young) it is fair to say I am of the generation of Owls that have endured pehaps one of the most fruitless periods of Wednesday's history without knowing the joys of seeing Sheridan slot home the Rumberlows winner, watching Hirsty and Waddle in full flow or even our brief flirt with Europe to ease the pain. As fans of this era it is clear to us that we are at the beginning of a new golden age of the owls. Wether you want Carlos out or not you've got to at least appreciate what has happened to the club in the last couple of years, successive Playoff appearances, talent on the field the likes of which has not been seen since the mid 90s and an owner who is determined to see us back where we belong. I don't think enough can be said about how far we've come and where we are heading in the long run. I can't say wether getting rid of Carlos would be the right or wrong decision but I feel it is important to appreciate what we have got and what has been accomplished. After all it wasn't that long ago we were mid table in league 1 and facing a potential winding up order. So all that being said what has been your lowest point as a Wednesday supporter? This is is my first thread so feel free to neg away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successive play offs count for nothing if you don't win them , we really need to shake off the look where we were and be happy with glorious failure mindset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in your views on Carlos it's been done to death. Just saying that compared to recent history we are heading in the right direction. Be it with Carlos or not.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The day we were relegated by Crystal Palace, complete with a shocking Jeffers non-header, a Leon Clarke broken toe, and a bunch of fans swinging punches on the pitch after the final whistle, I felt like giving up on football, to be honest. Only blind loyalty dragged me back for the first game of the next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglad75 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Can't remember who it was against but Alan Irvine was in charge and we were 3-0 down after 20 minutes at home in a midweek game against someone bobbar ! I thought this is a bad as it gets . We had Mark Reynolds at left back and every time he got the ball he pinged it into the south stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 People are fizzing as united won. I knew this would happen. I don't think we played badly at a tough spot, should've won. I think we need some of the speed and strength they have to counter more often but we played some good stuff, we'd be nothing without Hooper though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP may become an issue but the wages are a product of football's ridiculous economy. Things could be better yes (the grass is always greener) but my original point was that generally over the course of the past 17 years things have been worse and therefore there is nothing wrong with looking at our current situation with a little positivity. You've got to find joy from somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only blind loyalty dragged me back for the first game of the next season! The forest relegation in 90 was tough to take and probs my lowest point, especially as we are cruising 5/6 games before then it all fell apart. That coupled with pigs being promoted on same day .. .. oh lord ... Cried my eyes out on way home . Had a wedding reception at night for a colleague and my boss was a pig fan , he was ripping p1ss out of me so I just went home. Horrible horrible day !

Sergeant Tibbs Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Lowest point, Forest at home 0-3 in '91, when the third goal went in. We'd played the most attractive football I'd seen in 25y as a supporter, and we were relegated by Stuart Pearce's left foot. The year after he'd famously failed for his country. His timing was all wrong. As for this season, probably too east to right CC off, but the signs aren't great. Would love to see the slick passing and endless pressing that we saw in CC's first season.
