TheEnchanter Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 My first season as a fan. I remember so much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I think results did pick up a bit when Monk and the other loanees came in? Dropped off when they left if I recall. We were shocking that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldowl67 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Before that Boxing Day game against Forest ( a 2-0 win) we had only won two league games all season , the Lloyd Owusu game against the Pigs and a 2-1 home win against Bradford. The second half of the season was only marginally better than the first. Two of our ten wins came after we were relegated. Those were truly dark days.

Maddogbob Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I remember tony craine scoring a last minute goal away at bradford. We were in the lego stand behind the goal. (no idea if was this season). It just all blurred into one terrible mess, that period. We were awful, truly awful, back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The nadir imo - at least Monk has experienced it. We moan about the situation today - but those seasons under Turner, Yorath et al were truly awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who we were playing..mid seventies.. probably sleeting and a corner came over in front the Kop and hit one of our lot on the back of his head and went out for another corner..it was so quiet in the ground that it sounded like a cricket ball hitting a coconut...the ball boy said FFS and the Kop started.. Glory glory Sheffield Wednesday.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I was at that Gillingham game - but can't remember a single thing about it, it just blends in with all the other utter dogshite we endured around that time. But Garry Monk "remembers" it being on a Tuesday night, when it was on a Saturday. And he remembers a wall of noise from the Kop in a 17k crowd. Which inspired us to a 0-2 defeat - I think he may be just making it up! https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/september/loud-and-powerful/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If ever you want to know why press conferences and manager interviews are rarely worth listening to / reading...then read the programme notes. Could just copy and paste that hundreds of times over since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBee Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Probably our last true sponsor. Ever since it's been Chairman companys and local businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
