Animis Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It's funny what sticks out when reading that - we played Carlisle on 9th December in the North QF of the FLT. I vividly remember listening to the game on RS and JP and Paul Walker got into an augment. PW was basically taking the wee wee out of us in what we'd become, and JP laid into him saying it was still an important game for the fans who'd travelled etc. JP - loyal to the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHero Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I remember the stink Radio Sheffield kicked up at the end of the season when Derek Geary and Alan Quinn were released and subsequently went to the Blades. Stephen Quinn subsequently left from our Academy to the Blades also. I recall RS then used it as a rebranding exercise the following season with Basement Jaxx "Good Luck" being their new anthem of misery based on the above story. Not that I'm bitter.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember them being interviewed about there contract releases. They obviously were not that impressed with Wednesday. They weren't the only players released and the dip in form by Wednesday was surely down to players being disgruntled about not being offered new contracts. I guess we have a warning of how things may turn out this year with all the contacts we have expiring at the end of this season. I used to think Ndumbu Nsungu was a decent player at that level. Grant Holt was also a decent player who came in after the clear out. He wasn't appreciated by all, like Nuhiu today, but in the end he went onto greater things away from Wednesday.

Mole Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I missed three games that season, Bournemouth, Stockport and Grimsby away, and we didn't score in any of them! Absolutely terrible stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with all the doom and gloom at the minute I'd like to think this season can't be as bad. Surely? Wouldn’t hold your breathe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Fantastic season. We reached the Johnstone Paint Trophy northern semi final. Got knocked out by Blackpool. Great memories with Adam Proudlock and his blue mohawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Concrete Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A blast from the past I remember Chris Carr playing one game against QPR on day they went up and scored an OG. Does anyone remember the lad from Sunderland? Michael Reddy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The attendances that season are sensational considering how abysmal we were. Please God, don’t let us end up back in that league again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) My dad started properly taking me a couple years before this season as we were back living in the UK. It was around this time though that I started to suspect he was punishing me for something, no idea what I’d done wrong though Edited August 21, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then allowed Alan Quinn to go out on loan to Sunderland in return for us having Michael Reddy for 3 months I think. I seem to remember he scored a fantastic goal against Barnsley in the LDV Vans Trophy. Apart from that, I can't recall him scoring in any other match Probably the only highlight of that season was Derek Gearys challenge on that scumbag at home to Brighton. I've never known fans to cheer a stretcher come on like that. That or seeing the reserves win one of the trophies beating Tranmere in the final (I think it was). Second worst season of following the Owls, no where near as bad as the season under Irvine and Megson.

Derek Geary playing in the Premier League was quiet a shock. I think Wednesday had made a statement saying his cruciate wasn't up to warrant a new contract. Two years later he's playing in the Premier. Biggest turnaround in a career until Leon Clarke tore up the Championship last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got knocked out by Blackpool. Only two clubs have ever beaten us 4 times in the same season. The first was Manchester United when we met them in the 1993/4 league cup semi-final over two legs in addition to the routine league games. No shame there. But the other was Blackpool in 2003/4.
