Worst Ever Performance

[IndoMike]

Didn't we lose 6-1 at-home to Chesterfield?
I guess we didn't play too well that day.

I've seen some really entertaining 0-0s. But I've also suffered many dire 0-0s, where I'd wished I'd bought a book to read.

What year was it when we lost to Millwall. Stayed to play their reserves and lost to them too?

The reverse fixture at Underhill was just as bad a few weeks before.
Barnet were bottom of the division by a mile & the Grecians lost 2-1 iirc(both teams relegated unsurprisingly eventually)
What I do remember vividly was the stick the players got at full time when they came over to acknowledge the travelling support..No happy clappers in those days if it was abysmal..The whole sorry trip was finished off with the coach breaking down on the M4 & filling up with smoke.
Got back at about 0500 in work at 0800..Those were the days

That one sticks in my mind too, the first match that I ever booed City off as well. Have tried to erase it from my memory. Was that the game when we had a Scottish right winger making his debut and scoring our goal, although he didn't go on to "pull up many trees" for us ? Living in London in those days, Underhill was a "home" match for me so I didn't suffer a long and painful trip home fortunately.

The 6:3 defeat at WestBrom at the beginning of 91/92 has got to be right up there...we were truly awful that day and our three goals certainly flattered us...in-fact the whole of August was pretty horrific that year but credit to Bally for sorting it out as quick as he did.

Is that the season that we conceded six in two games running...? That was really up there in the dreadful performance stakes.

Twice in the first three games, I think it was - Shrewsbury (1-6) I believe was the third match. In between was another defeat, I think 1-2 at home to Brentford?

One of my few trips away, first match of the season, West Brom just relegated I think, quick trip up the motorway, full of optimism, quickly shattered

I wasn't at the match, and was oblivious to the scoreline (we didn't have Teletext) - when Final Score started their headlines included "...and West Brom have scored 6 in their first ever match in the 3rd division". Ouch.

I remember the game with the Scottish winger making his debut & scoring(his name escapes me)That was a few seasons later..98/99 iirc
