As a wendsday fan the 2016 play off final really hurt me at the time but it was some goal by Mo Diame but how we won the league one play offs is one of the greatest wendsday moments I've ever seen

[@topcat4759]

The 2014 final against QPR was as gutting as you can get. We had all the possession, virtually every shot of the game, played against ten men for most of the second half, QPR keeper had the game of his life and we lost in virtually the last minute to virtually the only shot QPR had. A moment to be remembered for all the wrong reasons is an understatement. If you lose two or three nil then fair enough but the losers don't even get a loser's medal. Perhaps the best way to get promoted but give me top two anytime. Derby fan.
