League One Clowns - Where Are They Now?

Me neither mate.

Living through it was bad enough, the running commentary from people on here who watched it was more than enough for me.

The idea of being "entertained" by watching our predicament from another angle was (for me) way too much masochism.

I quite enjoyed it. Watched them back about a year ago after our promotion. Found it fascinating tbh. Chalk and cheese to now. What an absolute basket case we were. Struggling to beat Fleetwood and other league 1 shite.

I remember driving down to Cheltenham on a cold tuesday night in February to watch us get beat 2-1. This has got to be the lowest point in the clubs history.

I have still not watch the Neflix doco.. I might soon.. Our rehab is nearly complete.

Think it was the same season, back to back weekends travelling to Wycombe and Shrewsbury, lost both 1-0 and didnt have a shot on target (We might have hit the bar at Shrewsbury).

First time I've ever contemplated packing it all in.

Makes the last couple of seasons so much better in context.

Was thinking about it yesterday. Now I appreciate Tottenham are absolutely shite but they are still current holders of a European trophy and we beat them on Sunday in a venue that just four years ago I saw us lose to bottom of the third tier Doncaster Rovers and our star signing of that previous window was a 39 year old who left us just weeks later whilst also not having a manager.

Never considered watching it from a "rear view mirror" perspective.

I might give it a go sometime and see how it is.

Thanks.

Tbf, that window we bought in Jack Clarke, Patrick Roberts, Danny Batth and Trai Hume as well the 39 year old.

Arguably one of our best ever windows.

God I f***ing hated that lot. Ainsworth and his Wycombe side were the epitome of everything that is so shite about League One, more interested in trying to intimidate officials and kicking any opposition player that moved than trying to play anything that vaguely resembled entertaining football.

I remember Lee Johnson saying we were "better between both boxes" after that game. The f***ing clown

It was a perfect storm the day we got them in the L1 play off final. There was absolutely no way we were losing to them, I've never been so confident approaching a Wembley game
 
Dunno if it's mentioned yet as wasn't technically a League One game. But I think our lowest point was seeing our first team play the mags u-21s in a competitive fixture. Imagine if we'd lost that.....
 
I think if I was from a town where the team were perennial lower league also-rans with only the vaguest sniff of success about 150 years ago, I’d be making the most of a visit to and from a former top league team with a comparatively massive stadium to visit and a huge support to come to my clubs aging or modest ground. I’d know it’d be unlikely that there be a league game against any of the top 6 but a so-called yo-yo club that was a consistent underachiever with ‘huge potential’ would be a game to look forward to and break the monotony of no-score draws and hoofball with our usual lower league rivals with only the occasional comedy goal or on-field bust-up as a relief.

I’d make the most of it. I’d be in that clubs message board, hopefully with humour But definitely with sarcasm and with no expectations I’d be welcomed or that it’d last longer than a season or two.

Cie la vie. And all that. They’d get over it I expect.

Wouldn’t we?

But we whopped them even though they had their emerging superstar Matty Longstaff playing.
