myHero Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Tue 16 Sep 2008 Reading 6 Wednesday 0 I drove straight from work, in Chesterfield and we were 1-0 before I'd even sat down. Brian Laws reckoned they'd got stuck in traffic on the way down their. Sadly I didn't. I think Wednesday owe us some of these results as pay back.

We'd actually started the season reasonably well and were in and around the top 6 which was unusual for us back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960Owl Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 1976 home to Colchester, absolutely awful game of football. The crowd of around 7,500 was treated to one of those games that you only recall as it was so dire. Wednesday won 1-0 courtesy of an own goal from outside the box, the defender intercepting a pass and steering it adroitly into the bottom corner. If memory serves, the biggest cheer was the announcement of Utd getting thumped at Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Drawing 0-0 against Chesterfield and Rushden and Diamonds was a particular low-light. The latter don't even exist anymore and the former are on the brink of exiting the Conference. I've watched some utter dross over the years. Getting excited about signing Terry f00king Cooke or Brian Barry Murphy or getting Michael Reddy back. Jesus Christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we couldn't afford a hotel, as it was right in the middle of Co-Op-agedon But the excuses stank, because I set off at 5:30pm from Chesterfield and still got their for 8pm Our players weren't that good back then either. We never looked like closing the flood gates at any point. Absolutely abysmal performance and abysmal times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still much for us to improve on, but the quality of player we have now compared to that 00s period is night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've forgotten we were around the top six, but that would make sense as I don't normally go to away games, especially mid week ones. Laws generally did well under very difficult circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it would never happen. There's another thread on 4 in the first half, but Away in the League Cup semi final at Blackburn in 93 has to be the bench mark of first half performances including 4 goals. Anyway, this is the wrong thread for three goal leads at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
