Have we ever thrown away a 4 goal lead?

[jaiguruKun]

After tonight's near miss, I was wondering if this has ever happened in our history? There have been a few 3-goal leads going awry I think (Bournemouth in '89 sticks in my memory) but I think a 4 goal lead being thrown away would have been a first?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Never in doubt, we had their number.

It was a four goal lead, and to which rule are you referring?

 

[ROBSH34]

Wasn't it a 5 goal lead?

Game was null and void.

No

Ok, then reckon it’s going to be a discernibly short thread.

Bashed by Bishop?

Other than that Luton game, I can't remember us losing a four goal lead before .... I'm just glad we survived tonight, that was a hell of a fightback from Fulham.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

Nope.

I have some pub quiznight memory of huddersfield once losing 7-6 after being 5-1 up but fuck knows when

One for @Gary James probably!

 

[WestGorton]

I do remember 3 against Bournemouth that ended up with me in the Bradford end a week later.

 

[blue7071]

Didn't we throw away a 3 goal lead against feyenoord last season?

 

[Corky]

The Leicester home and this one were the closest I know of. Not in my time.

 

[Bigga]

Can't remember a game where there were so many game winning worthy goals, by themselves!

 

[Ysabel 123]

It could be worse mate!

At least we have thrown the League away, whilst having an 8 Point lead with only 6 games to go!

 

[jaiguruKun]

We managed to outscore the number of shots on target we had tonight which must be a first in our history. A bizarre evening.

Remember we collapsed like tonight and Laporte saved our bacon with a header
