When we scored two early(ish) in the second half my 13 year old self was convinced we’d go on to win. D’oh.
A week after that Chelsea game we lost 5-0 at Leicester. That season we also lost 6-1 at Stoke, 5-1 at Fulham, 6-2 at Southampton in the league and 6-1 away to Albion in the LC.
One that sticks in my memory is the 5-3 home defeat by Portsmouth in January 1970, which saw the end of Tommy Doc.It was 2-2 at halftime, but an early goal and two late ones in the second half killed us off.Docherty was forever tinkling with formation and players, and in this game played three centre backs in Turnbull, Curtis and Edwards, with youngsters Barry Lynch and Jimmy Brown, and midget Dave Rudge as a centre forward.Bruce Rioch scored two, and Willie Anderson with the other.Phillips: Wright, Lynch (Martin):Turnbull, Curtis, Edwards: Anderson, Godfrey, Rudge, Brown, Rioch(B).
