Bannofan Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Yes, without a doubt. I had the Barnsley game down as a loss; they were going like a train and it was a cup final for them. I thought we would then patch ourselves up and respond with a convincing victory against an out of their depth FGR side. As others as said, we looked like we could just turn up and be handed the 3 points. We made them look like world beaters. I think after that result the confidence just drained from the players, and our opponents saw we could be ' got at'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I was there. We played like we were hungover. Possibly the worst performance ive ever seen from an SWFC side. Thankfully we had a happy ending. I ******** dread going back to poxy grounds like that again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 To be honest previous results glossed over a lot of performance’s.. How many games did we actually play well in over the long unbeaten run? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 4 games were disgraceful though, poor performances against 4 teams we should have beaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that goes in... we still finish 3rd but on goal difference. I might remember this wrong but I think we had one cleared off the line in injury time against Lincoln too. Plus the dodgy penalty at Oxford. I'm sure all clubs have similar grumbles but it did feel like our luck was out. Then Peterborough and Wembley!

GMOwl72 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 4 points from 18 cost us. FGR was just one standout awful performance in that run which started when we failed to capitalise on our first half advantage against Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Flint missed a sitter at Barnsley to make it 3-2. That was the turning point. We would have gone on to win that game and the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southsea Owl Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Absolutely - we were awful. As previous poster Barnsley we played well. Didn’t see that performance coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch Rotherham had a run of taking seven points from eight games almost exactly a year earlier, yet they still went up automatically. The difference is they didn't have Ipswich and Plymouth hitting unprecedented form at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geörge Whitebread Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 We beat Portsmouth, Charlton and Peterborough 1-0 in the 3 games that preceded the draw against Bolton and our performances were far from convincing... it felt like we were really riding our luck at the time. I remember thinking that titles are won when you can dig out those tight victories when you're not playing well. Then, those slightly disappointing performances got worse and worse and worse.... culminating in a 4-0 hammering in the first play off semi final. That capitulation was criminal really. It's amazing how the miracle night and a last ditch play off final goal can completely erase memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, after the Burton game we won our last 4 league matches so went into the play offs in form ( results wise ) We had a blip and yes it cost us the autos, but I wouldn’t swap it if I could. It would have been a travesty if we hadn’t got promoted with 96 points. The right 3 teams got promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
