onlyonedavidhirst Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Some great calls here like Derby away, the Chelsea (Canoville) game and lots of obvious ones. I'll throw a couple of daft ones into the mix, more annoyance than upset. That cup game last season that we lost 3-0 (was it Hartlepool) and we looked horrendous. I'd bought a ticket for the North Stand and by the time mates got their tickets they had decided to stop selling on the North. I sat there with about 25 other fans absolutely frozen thinking DM really has no clue what he's doing. Does anyone remember us playing Blackpool in a similar cup last time we were in L1. I think most fans had decided we were destined for a Wembley trip then we bottled it at home. That was annoying. Then there was Stoke away not long before Covid when the season was going well and we suddenly imploded in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was our chance to go up. Huddersfield finished the season with a minus 2 goal difference and didn't score a goal themselves in the play offs but still got promoted. Don't suppose that makes you feel any better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls79 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Charlton in the cup to play the pigs the following game. We didn’t show up and was our best chance of Wembley since 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Coventry one ruined my birthday I had to wait 6 years for the Blackburn cup semi to take away the pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always my dream (still is) to see Wednesday win the FA Cup and we were so close. To let in the softest of goals in the very last minute still breaks my heart. It will never happen now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I was allowed a 7th Birthday party with a Football Pitch cake and Wednesday figurines on top of it. Didn't realise they were Wednesday as we had the blue Arsenal kit at the time and this was the first time I recalled seeing us in stripes which my Mum assured me was the proper kit. She even offered to get me the team in red & white stripes if I preferred to which I politely responded something along the lines of "not on your Nelly!" Two years later she bought me my first Wednesday shirt (again the blue Arsenal kit). I was raised proper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This x100000000 A Sunday league keeper could have saved what was a routine header straight at him.

sexpistol Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 1981/82 v Luton at home 3-3 draw. The worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen ( John Lovatt from Crewe) 1983 semi final 4-4 draw with Chelsea in 1985 ( we would have won the league cup if we had seen that game out) 1986 semi final 0-3 v Forest in 1990 Both games against the pigs 91/92 3-3 away to Derby 1999/00 And the winner by a country mile… 1993 FA cup final replay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost confidence in our England's no1 at this point. I never thought he could do worse than this. He nearly did in the March game with the Pigs later on that season. That was after conceding 6 to Leeds and 7 to Arsenal as well. Then he topped it all in the cup final replay. Nice away kit though...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Losing at home 3-1 to Blades in about 1992. They did the double over us I think. I felt physically sick that night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avonowl Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The 3-3 away at Derby the year we got relegated from the prem when we were 3-1 up with barely any time left but still managed to throw it away. Totally pathetic the way we messed that up and we never recovered. Since then we've maintained the awful habit of conceding late goals, like a curse that's yet to be lifted, although you could argue that started in the '93 replay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
