Home defeats

[London Villan]

Sunday was up there with as bad as it gets, but have we ever been 0-4 down at half-time at home before?

Liverpool 0-6 was grim too and we looked even worse.

Any other horror stories?

Somebody by me mentioned about had we been 4 down at home at half time before. What was the HT score in the Woodcock game?

As bad as it was, it still wasn't a patch on the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' game.

It was 1-4 at HT v Arsenal in the Woodcock game.

0-5 v Forest in '84 was shit, can't remember the HT score mind.
1-5 v Citeh in '91 was another although only 0-2 at HT
0-4 v Blackburn in '97, it was 0-3 at HT. The 0 and the 4 flattered us.

Even though it was 35+ years ago, I remember it was only 1-0 at half time against Forest (Ian Bowyer) and they pummelled us in the 2nd (Trevor Christie hat trick & a certain S.Hodge!)

Another here for Blackburn. Me and my old man got in the ground extra early as we worried about midweek traffic on the M1. By half time we wished we were stuck in traffic.

The Woodcock game finished Arsenal 2 Villa 6. I think Tony Morley got one of our goals. I think Liverpool and Luton took the heat off us a bit that day as if I remember right Liverpool beat Luton 6-0 with Ian Rush also scoring five goals that day.

Losing 0-5 at home to Bradford in the Simod Cup (or whatever it was called that year) in front of a few thousand in the early SGT days was pretty grim.

[Deano's Mullet]

Man City at home 1991 we lost 5-1. If memory serves David White either got all five or at least four for them. Think this was the game that  afterwards the Mail had the headline "For  God's Sake Go Jo" aimed at Venglos.

[Deano's Mullet]

Coventry at home 1-4 wasn't pretty either in 1999. Inside or outside the ground!

[Charlie8182]

For the record, the last time we were 4-0 down at half time & at home was 17th Sept 1966, 4 down against Chelsea and ended up losing   2-6, Bobby Tambling scored 5 of them

This either never touched or has been erased from my memory.
I see they are in contention for promotion from Div 1
We could be renewing hostilities next season with 2 trips to the Sty

1-5 v Citeh in '91 was another although only 0-2 at HT
0-4 v Blackburn in '97, it was 0-3 at HT. The 0 and the 4 flattered us.

I was at both of these, but have no recollection of the Blackburn game.   The city game was as bad as it gets against a shit team.

[sid1964]

I remember the City game, as I was walking across Aston Park afterwards, all I could hear was that blue moon song being sung by their lot, did one of their players score 4?

The following day on the front page of the Mail was the headline about Mr Venglos, (cant remember the exact wording) - but it was telling him to leave!

For God's sake Dr Jo...JUST GO

I was at the game but I had to look it up as my memory was telling me White got all five goals whereas he actually got four and Brennan got the other. I vaguely remember Brennan, I think they got him from Ipswich.
