Owls-Fan Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 As Nigel Pearson said recently poor recruitment and investing in the team at the wrong time took us from potential league winners in 1993-1994 to a bottom half team. I’ll add to that appointing the wrong manager in 1995 didn’t help either Poor recruitment and wrong managerial appointments. Luckily times have changed since then.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit tense near the end of extra time though as Arsenal got a corner, and despite Bright letting Linighan have a free header. It was straight at Woods and a pretty routine save for any keeper to make. Edited March 22, 2020 by sexpistol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imre Varadi's Conker Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just watched it on catch up. Seems like yesterday, Chris Waddle, absolutely superb. Wonderful to see it again yet thoroughly depressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Watched it on catch up. My God football has gone downhill... I don’t mean us (although we have), I mean the passion, the atmosphere, everything. Football now is rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a wtf moment when it showed McCall playing in the replay a few days after his red card, then remembered that suspensions only kicked in 2 weeks later in those days.

steelowl Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I still shake my head at how the move from defence to striker worked for Warhurst he was on fire I heard rumours about stuff happening and in the final and why he didn't want to play etc love to know what really happened only wednesday could unearth a diamond and feck it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for kids on here not to know that feeling of supporting a top 3 1st division side From being twinned with Wembley in the early 90s and having such a brilliant team that never was out of a match to where we are now with a team that's rarely in one other than the glorious mind the gap promotion it's been a shocking slide down in quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson and shirtliff were injured and Viv Anderson Was very doubtful and didn’t play in the replay. It was either Warhurst or he would have had to bring in Simon Stewart. I actually felt sorry for Francis as he had no other realistic option. Warhurst should never have refused to play ( if that is what actually transpired) Yet amazingly he signed a new contract, and played the first few games of the next season partnering Hirst and I don’t think we scored. Warhurst was then sold to Blackburn, where I believe he played initially as a midfielder before breaking his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
