Popular Post wakefieldowl Posted October 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2021 Same as everyone, i am sick to the back teeth of this club failing miserably. I was hopeful this season, but so far we are nothing more than a mid table 3rd division team. Is there any club, that has underachieved more than us in the country, over the last quarter of a century? I cant think of anyone that comes close. Given the fanbase, location, history etc no one is as bad as SWFC 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Think Nottingham Forest have been out of the Premier League slightly longer than Wednesday and had spells in the Third tier as well are only club that come close. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I doubt there is a club that falls so far from fans expectations. We make the Geordies look like realists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fanbase, location, history etc no one is as bad as SWFC Unfortunately I'm inclined to agree with you. I had serious doubts about Moore before the season started, then when it did start i thought maybe i was wrong, but now after having lost to teams like morecombe, relative newcomers to the football league, who we, the oldest club in the country "hope to learn from", its clear that we are a mediocre third tier team with no strategy or clue that anyone can fathom. Losing at home to crappy oxford after winning away to wigan kinda proves the point. Very disappointed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 There's probably still a novelty to this league for Sunderland, they were in the prem as recent as 2017, they probably still see this as their bottoming out. Whereas we've pretty much been rubbish now for 21 years and in our third stint in this league. We're a championship, league one yo-yo club Hard to see the next 20 years being anything other than the same 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Newcastle I’d say. But at least they’re underachieving in the Prem. We’re dwindling into obscurity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 At the moment it’s definitely us - the country’s biggest under achievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Only if you cling on to the past. You’d have to mid 30’s now to remember when we were a big club. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1948 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 There are thousands of Wednesday fans who have grown up supporting a lower league club. To these being lower league is what they are used to and what they have come to expect. Given that we are a lower league club and have been for a long time we are not underachieving at all. We are performing to expectations. I have even seen comments from some on here who don't want us ever to be premier league. What on earth has become of us? We need to overachieve consistently to get back in the big time. We are not going to even challenge in the third tier when we can't attack with pace and penetration. Sadly things are what they are, Sheffield Wednesday are a lower league outfit and are where they deserve to be. It makes me weep to have to acknowledge this truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It’s definitely us with a mention for Notts Forest. Sunderland were top flight 5 years ago and have been awful since, but if we’re talking 20 years they’ve not been as bad as us. Can’f understand Newcastle.. they have no history of winning things. Big club, but not bigger than Man Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal. And now the likes of Spurs and West Ham have new stadiums, plus Chelsea and Man City with the rich owners.. what would their baseline be if they got took over. They’d be looking at 4th-8th every year with the odd title challenge. Therefore finishing 12th-15th most seasons isn’t an underperformance of the same magnitude as SWFC. We’re basically a full 2 divisions below where we should be based on the size of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
