This game was the one for me , sat in an away end , home and away fans laughing at how bad we were , cheering passes and shots .. that was rock bottom really for me
Fair play also to Luton coming up from non league and more than holding their own in this league in less time. Two success stories in a division that doesn’t have many
Millwall have survived for 5 seasons now.
They’re a pretty regular fixture in this division anyway
For me the low point was the 1-2 Sheffield United game at home in the L1 relegation season. The whistling, the pitch invasion, the 87th minute winner for them. There had been some worse performances and results prior to that, but this one felt like rock bottom to me.
The team that day:
- 23Charles-Cook
- 30Kelly-Evans
- 2Willis
- 4Turnbull
- 15Page
- 6Rose
- 5Bigirimana
- 12McCann
- 9Agyei
- 17Sordell
- 21Wright
So are Luton to be fair , both spent most their time in this league than any other individual league
We've still got 4 more years in the top flight than the second tier ATM

I was there I just can't remember itBury away with 6 defenders on the pitch none of whom seemed to know what in God’s name they were doing.

Just spotted a certain Jamie Allen in that Rochdale side.

Allen always impressed me for Rochdale, he ran the midfield a couple of times, even up against FleckJust spotted a certain Jamie Allen in that Rochdale side.

Yeah looks like he had a hand in their first goal too. I think Robins had recently re-joined the club by then, I wonder if this is when we first spotted him.Just spotted a certain Jamie Allen in that Rochdale side.

The turn around is truly remarkable, but I am worried about how people seem to think Friday will just be some procession that Peterborough will let us waltz through to take top spot and then the impending meltdown if it doesn't happen both on here and in the stands

Mansfield*Not sure about lowest point but certainly the turning point was league 2, Wycombe Away. Snatching a point with 10 men. That was literally when the whole thing turned on it’s head to get us to where we are now imo
That was terrible… especially for me! Live just outside Worcester, 3-4 of my mates went (in the Worcester end). I got pelters all that day and for the next week. To add insult to injury, I was living in Preston at the time, but travelling home that day. Got into New Street just in time for all the Worcester fans to get on the same train as me. Delightful.The 2-1 home defeat to Worcester was when I thought wow what the fuck has happened to my football club!
Was this the one where we went 2-0 down early? Want to say Beavon scored a header for us making it 2-1?

Lets not look back lets look forward! We are going back to where we belong!League 2 though
the 6-2 v Yeovil was a big wobble
Also where might we have been today if we hadn't got some generous decisions in the play off semi?

Yes, but the pies were fantastic.With you there about Oxford. It was an atrocious performance- we left when the 4th goal went in and I knew then we were probably going down, and it was only November. The only positive was that I was home in 25 minutes….
It was very cold there that day. I remember McBean coming on, he really demonstrated the massive gap between u23 and first team footballThis felt like a low point.

Away in the FA Cup first round to Morecambe. We didn’t lose (and won the replay) but it felt desperately lucky. Crowd of under 2k, Jerry Sterry scored his only goal for us and I remember the desperation that Jack Bean would actually prove to be the salvation from the ear-cupping Andre Wright and Dan Agey.

There’s actually 13mins of video here:
The relegation season was absolutely tragic in every sense. The obvious exception and highlight being the Wembley trip and victory.
One of those starting lines up from earlier in the thread featured Wright and Agyei as two of our three strikers. They were two of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen in my life, especially Wright.
Weirdly I was talking about this last night with a few fans of other teams and looking back I don’t know why I kept going to each game - it certainly wasn’t enjoyable!
You clung on and kept going because that is what makes this “the beautiful game” - who could have predicted our rise up the leagues, but in many sports this would have been impossible, but football allows us all to dream and sometimes these dreams come true. Although these last few seasons are way better then anything I could have dreamt of!
