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 Flip side is what do we actually expect us to achieve? PL..no chance. Promotion..ditto. Survival in L1..probably more realistic. WE ARE ALSO RANS so really any kind of 'achievment' will be limited. Together with tons of other also ran clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 25 years theyve been in pl 23. The 2 stints in the second tier resulted in instant promotion. Theyve also been in the champions league 3 times, so sorry, i dont think they compare anywhere near as bad as us 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In the 40 years I've been supporting Wednesday, I've learned to never expect anything from them, so for me I wouldn't say we are under achievers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This is the longest period outside of top flight in our history. Am I right in thinking we’ve had 15 top flight seasons in the last 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
