Games where we have pinched the points

Obviously not.

No points at stake, but that second leg of the play offs against Swindon was a proper mugging, they were the better side in that game.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

First play off game v Swindon. They should have had 6!!! Chippy scored a goal which was deflected TWICE on it's way in.

Remember a game against Cardiff at Withdean in the Division 2 Championship season. We scored a penalty early on and the rest of the game seemed to be taken up with them battering us - including some of the most ludicrous goal mouth scrambles I've ever seen!

Boxing Day 2003, when we won 1-0 at Norwich.

Sidwell scored for us that day and they then preceded to hit various bits of the goal frame.

a few seasons back when we played lecister 2-0 down at half time then went on to win 3-2

New years Day quite a few years back at Charlton, we scored in the first minute (?Gary O Reilly maybe?) and were battered for the rest of the game without conceding

 

[Beach Hut]

Sheffield United away when Leon scored at the very end and we won 2-1, we were on the back foot all of the game.

At Withdean. shout for the last minute goal against Stoke. Very wet night.

Pretty sure that was 18th sep 2001, the day my daughter was born. I made it straight from the hospital and the late winner put us top of the table.

I was at the Newcastle game. Although we were in a higher division, we were still underdogs and you can see there was some quality in that Newcastle team.

Those games where you win 'against the odds' with a true battling 'backs to the wall' performance rate high amounst my favs. We've done it twice at Palace, the mcShane game most of us remember but ther was an earlier game where Butlin scored after 4 mins and we hung on from there.

Butters at West ham has also been mentioned but I'll throw in just about the best ever as our 1-0 win at forest, league Champs, unbeaten at home in years, top (or 2nd) in the league and us bottom of the table having been thrashed 4-0 a few days earlier.

Yep mate, was going to say that game too, Was at Forest that day myself. The Newcastle game when i watch it now is notable for having all three strikers playing in an away game, Ward Robinson and Richie. I always liked Robinson, great player, well good anyway lol

Coventry away 1980/81.

Three down at half time, looked clueless, Gordon Smith hat trick in the second half nabbed an undeserved one.

Leeds away about 1984/5. Back in the scary days, Somehow we had managed to scrounge two goals, but it is 2-2 in the 93rd minute. Graham Pearce, who never went over the half way line in his Albion career, then somehow finds himself beating the offside trap and cooly lobs their keeper from 20 yards.
