Bellsview Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Watched the game with my dad and L**ds supporting brother. Brother pissed himself laughing when Blackburn went 1-0 up. He was left speechless shortly after though and was raving about how good we were by half-time. We were incredible that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I recall that one. Particularly the feelings of how are we 3 nil up at half time and when Blackburn scored the anticipation of them hauling us back. What a tiger-ish midfield that was with Jonk, Sonner and Rudi in it Alexandersson was a class player. I wish Id been at the game at the start of this thread, I only watched it live on TV. Probably the best if not in the top 5 performance of a Wednesday side Ive seen in my experience of watching them. The others being, the Waddle West Ham game, the Cup semi-final, the League Cup final (different kind of performance) and home to Brighton play-off. Im sure someone will now tell me about a game I should have also included, e.g. the times we beat Man U or the Victims etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 On this day in 1989, Big Ron signed a club legend for £750m and we went on to win the league, the league Cup, the European Cup and the World Club Cup 5 seasons running as a consequence.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Interesting hypothetical question if Moore had been appointed and fans were allowed in the ground at the time - would the failure to save us from relegation have cost him the job. Alternatively would his enthusiasm have transmitted to the fans and helped us avoid the drop Personally I think the Club was at a low ebb on and off the field and the this season in particular has really helped re-build the connection between Club and fans and Moore to his credit is instrumental in that - off the pitch as much on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t really improve under him, and there were some awful displays with, what was on paper, an ok squad. But… it’s worth factoring in that if it wasn’t for the points deduction, we got enough points to stay in the division, and we had a lot of poison in the squad that had to be cleared out and I also think that had Moore come in after Monk, he might have been able to sort out recruitment sooner.

The form after Christmas was pretty spectacular. Biggest difference has been his settling on his spine of the team. You know that if fit, there are 8 players who will play every game. Palmer, Flint (McGuiness and Ihiekwe), Johnson, Bannan, Byers, Vaulks, Smith, Windass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I was delighted when we signed Woods. Although didn’t like that he was more afraid of crosses than Dracula. However, he was very good with his feet and he always struck me as being very good 1 on 1 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
