Rushden fox Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 7-1 defeat to Newcastle ..6-0 down at half time...I still have it on VHS...we go promoted in the play offs though..happy days are back again.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 6-1 at Pompey was the worst for me, that pre season under Sousa was so full of promise and that was the night we realised it was never going to happen.

I think you're wrong there. The 7-1 hammering at Newcastle was in the 92/93 season. We got to the play-off final but lost to Swindon that year. The defeat was a shocker though and to make matters worse it was shown live on nationwide TV. In our next match out though, we beat Portsmouth in a play-off semi at the City Ground via a great goal from Joachim.
deejdeej Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Any Leicester City defeat gives me the hump for a few days. Is everyone else the same?Yes! Try and avoid all things football for at least a day or two.As has already been said, the Wolves game 4-3. Feeling like we might just have a decent season at half time and then the debacle of the 2nd half was hard to take. Also the 2-2 with Forest after we'd just gone into administration, about 95 minutes gone and LESTER equalises for them.. urghhh.
Gary Eatfood Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 I seem to have a memory of Oldham beating us 6-0 in the early 90's, but I can't find a record of the result?! Was it just a nightmare then ? Yes this did happen, 6-0 on a plastic pitch in the 90/91 season, first away game if I recall. I think Andy Ritchie may have scored a hattrick and a certain Ian Marshall was playing for Oldham that night. I'd like to add the 7-1 defeat to Sheff Weds in the League Cup and the 1-0 defeat to Plymouth in the Hollyway relegation season defeat to this list.

Oldham was the 1st away game that season but we only lost 2-0. Maybe you're confusing it with Middlesbrough a few weeks later where we did lose 6-0.
Guest bss9401 Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Charlton away at Upton Park 1992. We took 7-8000 plastics and a win may well have promoted us. Lost 0-2 then lost again in the last game. Awful first play off defeat followed. Other than that I agree with the likes of Wolves away, the Sheff Weds 1-3, Swindon at Wembley and the cup defeats. Last night was deflating and very irritating but we are still going up.
Callabinho Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 0-5 at home to Bolton easily, cup defeats and play off defeats can be forgotten over time, what Tater peeler did to that side cannot! It was a horrible afternoon, it was clear that there was only ever going to be one outcome that season after that game.
sylofox Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 That's what I was trying to get at I think. When we lost to Wycombe we were 4th in the PL and looking at a possible European finish, though I don't think all the top 4 went into the CL back then. We appeared to have other fish to fry at the time. It was only a year or 2 later that one could look back and appreciate quite what a disaster it had been. A loss to a side in your division gets a few laughs. A top four prem side in a loss to a div 1 side gets a laugh from everyone. How would it feel if Northampton had knocked us out the FA cup this season. Going every game with fans singing Your not as good as the cobblers. Would take a league defeat like brighton (long as it did not cost us promo or the league) than a cup KO to northampton. You can put a league defeat right most of the time but a cup defeat you are fvcked.

I still live in hope that I might see us win the FA Cup one day. My point about the Wycombe game was that when it happened we were flying as high in the league as we've ever flown, 4th having just beaten Liverpool 2-0 the last game. On that day, the league was our priority with maybe our highest finish since the 60s on on the cards. Of course it didn't turn out that way. We immediately went on a downward spiral that lasted for a year and half, but at the time some fans would have said that now we can focus on the league.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Stoke 0-0 game relegated to 3rd tier of English football for the first time in our proud history Felt like a defeat
Corky Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Barnsley 1-2 in January 2012. Fvck me, what a pitiful, dispiriting day for the club, whose highly paid and expensively assembled squad were taught a footballing lesson by a perrenial struggler with little money to spend. We were fortunate not to lose by more thanks to Kasper. We could barely pass the ball to a team-mate it was that bad. The only positive out of the game was that we decided Barnsley's star player Daniel Drinkwater should lead our midfield.

Brighton on the day could and can beat anyone in our league as they have us twice. But with 44 other games it may not matter as it don't in our case this season. But Northampton would not beat many if any other team in our league. But on the day if they beat us everyone would get a laugh at our expense. The only ones that got a real laugh at the brighton result was them and burnley.
Kitchandro Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Nothing comes close to Sheff Wed in 2008 for me. I went from thinking we'd secure safety, complete with pitch invasion etc, to knowing we'd go down. I might never get over that.

Donut Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 I think the worst defeat that comes to mind was the game against Bolton at Filbert Street when they slapped us 5-0. Was the opening day of the season and we were as good as down that season after 90 mins.
Langston Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Wycombe for me, all day every day, just the grimmest result and ominous in every possible sense. Everything else pales in comparison, even Watford.
Will1981 Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 4-3 to Swindon in the play-off final and 1-0 to Spurs in the league cup final with them scoring in the last minute of extra time and then trying to get back to the train station without taking a kicking from all the spurs fans coming out of the pubs around the ground.
Larry_LCFC Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Watford in the playoffs for me. Joy to heartbreak in 20 seconds.

Larry_LCFC Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Yes. I get the right arse. Thought we'd put the Brighton jokes to bed now. And I don't mean their fans

Stand corrected, thank goodness only two teams were relegated that year otherwise we wouldn't have had a proper pitch invasion versus Oxford.
Gary Eatfood Posted 9 April 2014 Posted 9 April 2014 Being surrounded by Spurs fans in the Leicester end at Wembley during the League Cup Final and losing an awful game 1-0. A truly sickening feeling.
