Just checked. From 1978-1983 it was

0-3
0-5
0-4 x2
1-4

The 1-4 was in 1978, and I’m pretty sure we scored first (remember watching it in MoTD as an eight year old). This was the game I was thinking of when I talked of the odd goal.

Can’t be any other period with relegations and moving grounds meaning we never played five games in five seasons against them at Maine Road ever again.

Thanks for the correction. To be honest, I’m quite pleased with myself that I remember something that was only one goal away from what actually happened.

So you don't remember Clemence rolling the ball out to Neal.neal 5 yard pass to Hughes.hughes to Thompson Thompson to Kennedy Kennedy back to Clemence..and repeat...like you say you were young.
this often happened in tricky away matches to quieten the home crowd and take the sting out the game.
No one is denying they had good attacking players too in those days,...that's not the point,they bored the pants of many football fans .with negative tactics which involved back pass after back pass to Clemence.
Before the rule change.
And like another poster has said,since the change they struggled to win the league
Funny that.

Best rule change ever was to stop the back pass to the keeper. Without that Pep tactics would not work.

They effectively shut down the game if winning 1-0 with 10 mins to go.... you couldn't get the ball off them and it rarely went beyond the edge of the penalty area.
