It wasn't just Sheffield Wednesday - we could add Harness' goal at home to Barnsley to that list too. |
I know, and there's also Oxford as Hoppy said, but Hillsboro was the one that really sticks in my craw because it was the result of deliberate & disgraceful illicit behaviour by some of their fans (for which they were never punished? 🤔). |  |

There's many reasons we didn't get 100 points not that 1 goal of sheff Wednesdays. .ref calls
Barnsley
Was it portvale? Pen given for a tussle during a corner?
Results
Fleetwood x 2
Oxford
Charlton
Etc etc
Its a shame we didn't get there. But we didn't not get 100 points just because of that one Wednesday game. [Post edited 9 Jun 2023 16:33]

What's your point?
We only failed to make 100 pts cos S so**ing W fans cheated us out of 2 pts at Hillsborough by the most despicable means
That's your words. We didn't not make 100 points ONLY because of that one situation. | |

We really do need to buck up our ideas about posting on this topic. The equivalent Leicester thread about who they want for the next manager is currently up to Page 197 while we're currently on a fairly miserable 5 pages |
To be fair 5 pages when we actually have a manager and no vacancy is not a bad effort! |  | | |

You miss the point. What happened at H'boro was outside our control. |
I did miss your point but equally should there really have been 9 mins extra that was out of our control. | | | |

Two deflected last minute goals at home to Fleetwood and Plymouth as well, a bit unlucky for that to happen twice from speculative efforts from outside the box. Think that's why classing a 98 point season as meeting expectations and a 100 point season as exceeding them doesn't make much sense, we're talking one bit of luck or competent refereeing being the difference between the two seasons. |  |

If the linesman hadn't have been intimidated into awarding a clearly offside equaliser at Hillsborough, how many more points would we have got from that game and what happens if you add those points to the 98 other points we accrued? | |

No different to had we won the last game we'd have finished on 100 points.
It's just one of many reasons we didn't get to 100 points. Nothing is the only reason. | |

That doesn't answer my question. That there were other times in the season where we could also have got two more points doesn't detract from the fact that if the linesman at Hillsborough hadn't allowed a clearly offside goal we would have picked up the 2 points needed to reach 100 points. | |

But the original point from the poster was that it was the only reason. There's not really any point to your question.
It's no different again to had we held on at Charlton we'd have finished on 100 points. That question can be asked about any game we drew. | |

But Ryorry is right that if the linesman at Hillsborough hadn't been intimidated into allowing an offside goal then we'd have got two extra points and would have achieved 100 points. So it is fair to single that out as the reason we didn't get 100 points. That there were other games where we could also have got the two points is irrelevant to the point Ryorry was making. | |

Come on let’s be realistic. It’s a massive step up, to a team who has won the Premier League & FA cup all within the last 10 years and a team that has regularly been in Europe. They have probably the best training facilities in the UK and parachute payments for the next 3 years. They are clear favourites to straight back up for me.
He could get a big contract that would increase upon promotion, Premier League managers get paid 5-6million a year at a club that level.
It’s not the 1970/80’s anymore, Leicester are a far bigger pull than Ipswich is. If we want to keep McKenna we need to properly fund a promotion push in the Championship, and that’s not going to come cheap. [Post edited 8 Jun 2023 13:29]

To discuss It absolutely. Pick a game out.
But it's still not the ONLY reason.
Do we pick out as the other poster mentioned the Harness non goal and claim that as the only reason we didn't get 100 points? | |

Yes, but I am not saying McKenna failed. We could have won the title, or got to 100 points. Those would be exceeding expectations looking at the season purely based on the league table and, yes, we came close.
Cook WAS an utter failure here and, to this day, I can't work out why after his success elsewhere. I also thought we took a calculated gamble with McKenna considering his lack of managerial experience but glad we did. |
I somewhat doubt that Gamechanger or Aston saw McKenna as a "calculated gamble". His trajectory was already impressive, not least the number of influential witnesses he'd already accrued. And, as to his interview, we've seen for ourselves what a professional job that would have drawn from him. | |

Well I can see how that word "only" might have read, but I did go on to stress in a post later in the thread that I singled out SW away because the points dropped were a result of home fans' behaviour, not within our players' control. That goal would never have stood in normal circumstances. And as far as I'm aware, neither those fans nor the club have been penalised for it. | |

That's where the EFL let themselves down once again bottling making any decisions against the golden team. I don't think they ruled yet is it not still an open case which I guess means it was in the refs report. By now they either have evidence and charge them or admit lack of evidence and bottle taking any action so as not to upset player of the millennium Barry Bannan | | | |

But if you punish SWFC you punish Super Barry Bannan and we can't have that now can we as he is just the best L1 player there has ever been. | | | |
