Magic Mikey Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I consoled myself last night watching the end of my 90/91 season video (yes I still have a video recorder) to watch the little :censored: Wilson, trying to delay the taking of the penalty, getting booked before Redders slotted it home. Got me thinking, that penalty put them down to third, they got automatic promotion because the number of teams in the first division was being increased and 4 went up. The Wendies would have played a bang on form Notts County and may well have struggled in the play offs. In the first year of the play offs we were never out of the top 3 all season (I think) finished third, which would normally have been automatic promotion but we lost out on away goals to Leeds who finished about ninety points behind us. Add in the semi final defeats to QPR and Cesspool, the play offs have done nothing for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We went out to Leeds on away goals in 86/7 ,despite having 7 more points. It would have been a penalty shoot out nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Our penalties record is pretty decent. I know, it was just a generalisation of the sometime disappointment we endure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Indeed, it would have been typical *insert name of any team according to their own fans*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
