Best Ever Comeback

Anything better than winning at Blackburn after being 3-1 down at half time?

 

(Assuming my memory is right?)

Still cant find that Tonight documentary about Allardyces heart rate in that game

I remember watching that. Haha they picked the right game! Just recall Bassett kept bollocking Dennis Wise for doing sideways passes

Great scenes when that went in, and when almost the same thing happened against Everton that season.

 

First year I had a ST that, brilliant at the start and end of the season, with a whole lump of defeats in the middle!

Aye, was at that and twas amazing. But Reading and Swindon - blimey! What memories. 

Away from Bolton, this one stands out:

If we exclude Bolton, then Malc might mention Charlton 7, Hudderfield 6. 5-1 down with 20 minutes to go

Did we once come back from 3-0 down at home to Notts County to draw 3-3?

Taped it off the telly. Tape wore away in the end I watched it so many times. Me and a mate had gone down to the front row just before the end (getting our flag rather than walking away) so you can spot us smack bang behind the goal going mental when Ricketts equalised. The white tracky bottoms were a bit of a giveaway but in my defence I was only 15.

We did

 

Last home game before Wembley

 

Poss Torquay year

 

But probably bristol city

It was the 88-89 season and part of the 23 game unbeaten run

Suprised no one put shout in for hull away with 10 men.,

wasn't the last home game but near the end of that season

 

just realised it was the game before russell coughlin attempted to put a football in orbit

 

I thought it was after that

 

Cos I'm sure Farnworth played as felgates loan was up and couldn't play the final

 

But it was 20 odd years ago

 

Hard core Meldrew fcuked off at half time

Shout for Swindon semi final.

 

When we went 3-1 down on aggregate I thought it was curtains.

defo

Was it dean windass wth the OG?

It was.

Can't beat Reading

 

Swindon was special too

 

As was Everton in the cup 93-94. 2-0 down at half time IIRC

Reading

 

That Branagan save transformed the whole club

west brom in the play offs

 

only a draw, but massive in the scheme of things

Reading

One of them games where if Twitter was around there'd be some people doing a fair bit of backtracking over the course of the 120!

Remember a 3-2 at chesterfield from 2-0 down in the late 80s. We had it on a roadrunner VHS. Think it was a cup game.

indeed it was

 

darby may have scored the winner on a very murky night

 

postponed on the saturday

Just going back to the Notts County home 3-3 game, I remember it being on Grand National Day but was there not something unusual about it? The year there was a false start or a different race time to the traditional time? I seem to remember quite a few people had left the ground at half time to watch the national and missed the comeback

Notts County was 1989, false start was 1993, bomb scare was 1997.

 

They've messed about with the off time a few times down the years, I think. I remember watching Bindaree beat What's Up Boys on the big screen at half time when Bobic scored his hat trick, but it's tended to be run during the second half in recent years. This year I'll be able to watch it in a boozer in Scunthorpe after we've turned them over.

Bomb scare was the day we beat QPR to win promotion iirc
