George Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 https://www.11v11.com/matches/sheffield-wednesday-v-colchester-united-07-august-2004-24780/ 9 debutants starting plus 2 off the bench. The summer clear out didn't work as planned. Indeed if took half a season and a change of manager to get them going as a team. The Kop singing "different ********, same old Wednesday" to the tune of the Pompey Chimes. Don't get me wrong, I am glad the current lot of ******** have gone but it's going to be pretty tough to rebuild in one summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 i can clearly remember this game went with the usual first match of the season buzz about, part way through the game I'm thinking "hang on Colchester are battering us here" the three late goals just added to the general shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main memory of that season is being propped up by Kenwyne Jones and an Adam Proudlock hot streak between December and January, and then hanging on for deal life before limping over the line with that win at Hull. Don't get me wrong, I'd take that right now for this rebuild, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I remember this game. Walking away at 2-0 and just about to get out as they scored a 3rd. Horrible performance. Never used to leave games early. This was up there with the 2-2 v 9 man Yeovil for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with some of that again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack the Hat Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Remember it well. We seemed to do some great recruitment on the face of it in the summer as well. However, the core of the squad now is far better than it was then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember losing 3-0 to Hartlepool near end of season thinking playoffs were blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An unexpected last gasp goal from Quinn away at Champions Hull and two good performances against Brentford were all we managed. Jones was the key though. We played our best games in the Play offs but were still lucky in the final. Glad were going up automatically this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The first game is HUGE! Personally, I need to believe in the players, team, manager and chairman before I part with any cash. They have 1 game. It's a harsh tactic, but so is a multi year season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it was, I recall them being the form team at the time, and was relieved when Hartlepool beat them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage owl Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Was going on holiday the evening of this match . Left at half 4 with the score at 0-0 we were picked up outside and taken straight to the airport where we found out the score. Cheers Wednesday again.

Yes, incredible run between December & February P 16 W12 D3 L1 The win at Hull certainly got us over the line as it was the only win in the last 9 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Pre season we played in Copa de Ibiza playing Preston and Watford and whilst there me and a few mates had a drink with Chris Turner, he was convinced that the team he had assembled would get us promoted, he was right though it didn't work out as planned. Like today he had a right old clear out of squad during summer with some of players released surprising a lot of supporters, especially players like Derek Geary and Alan Quinn who were fans favourites back then.
