When we were crap....your favourite matches

[Jogon 127]

Whilst we’re reminiscing.....

Any random matches you enjoyed when in the doldrums.

SWP’s debut (I think) away to Port Vale....circa 1999.

He came on as sub, shirt and shorts about 3 sizes too big!

‘Shauny WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT!’ Rung out as soon as he came on.

I think he set up the first goal to go 1-0 up (I think the fans awarded him the goal by default).

Vale equalised then....

Danny Granville scored a cracking downward header rising like a salmon at the back post.

Great atmosphere and equally good pudding, chips and gravy on the way home.

What doldrums? We've been ever present in the PL since we were founded back in 2008.

Been mentioned on other threads but Stoke at home late 98, came from behind to win 2-1 , really got behind the team and then we went on a run all the way to Wembley and Gillingham win which could have a thread of its own.

Norwich at home playing with 10 men. Berkovic and Bernarbia were magic.
The crowd were really vocal and played Norwich off the park.

Ref sent Tiatto off on advice of 4th official.

Megson in the dugout for County
The Goats first city goal and even 2 for Bradbury!

Beating Liverpool 1-0 at Maine Road on Boxing Day 1985. It was my first ever game. They battered us for 90 minutes but we nicked the points thanks to a Clive Wilson goal.

I was convinced that would be the turning point in us staying up that season, but then we only took two points from the next four games :(
