We were the worst of an elite league - how many teams were below us in the football pyramid? I though the next season with Jimmy Jewel felt much worse, there was no 'glory' then at all.

TimRam Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 So glad Kenny Miller got that goal otherwise we would have been officially the worst football league team ever. On reflection the promotion season was strange. Plenty of 1-0 wins without ever really dominating games. A lucky second leg semi final (og and missed penalties) + how ever did we win the final?

Yeah I have often though that - lost one we thoroughly deserved to win, won one we shouldn't have. By that token we must be due and extraordinarily good PL season the next time we're there!

BaaLocks Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Despise when we are referred to as 'County'. In other news, I don't know why we remain so fixated on 07/08. The story is written, most know it better than their own life story. And it was but one season, those who lived through the slow tortured fall from grace in the late seventies and early eighties will tell you that was far, far more painful than watching the inevitable play out like it did in that one season.

I remember getting a lot of stick that season from friends, the banter was bad. The one positive of being a hermit during the past 12 months has been the limited negative banter. I have literally not seen a red dog in 12 months, that has to be a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And incidentally we had exactly the same amount of 1-0 wins as Birmingham did. you should re watch that play off final, we never look like losing It. We finished 8 points above West Brom and beat them twice that season, that’s how we deserved to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that often gets overlooked in that games are the tackles (not one but two) that Mears did on Koumas. He took the ball off his toes inside the penalty box (one inside the six yard box iirc). Very high tariff, but executed to perfection. I agree, btw, it was hardly a smash and grab raid. Pretty even game, any side could have won it but ultimately we took our chance.

I actually disagree with that, not be to contentious mind - I thought the game against the Baggies was very even but against QPR after they got the player sent off we huffed and puffed a lot. Still think that if Russell hadn't have been brought down then he would have missed the 1 on 1 anyway given his normal profligacy but we'll never know I guess.

TBH its lost in the mists of time for me, I just vaguely recall feeling lucky with the result. Its not burned into my memory like the QPR one...

I still don't think Sheffield United are anywhere near our levels of incompetence and ineptitude as a group of players which will take some beating as a team to grace the Premiership regardless of whether they manage to overhaul our dismal points total.

Yep completely agree with you but in 20 years time all people will see is the stats. And statically Sheff Utd could still go down as the worst.(just have to hope they don't look into goal difference?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Aren't forest officially the worst having finished bottom of the PL 3 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’ve said this many times, our stats bear out worse than we were. We had lots of dodgy decisions and bad luck. Ultimately being unable to score affected us massively. But performances against Bolton twice, Fulham twice, Newcastle twice, Birmingham, Sunderland, Man City away, Man United, Chelsea AND Liverpool at home, Portsmouth at home, were decent performances even if results don’t show it. I seen to recall the east upper singing “we’re proud of you” to the tune of Auld Lang Syne too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An awful performance against an also relegated team. I do recall the Chelsea game, wasn't barnes clearly fouled in the lead up to Chelsea's first goal. Probably best remembered for Billy's outburst at the board afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
