Heaviest Albion defeat you've seen?

[Icy Gull]

These don't stick in my mind as well as the victories. I know a few were unfortunate enough to witness the 2-8 Bristol Rovers game but I'm really struggling to remember the heaviest defeat I've witnessed.

Can't get beyond a few 3-0 or 4-1's at the moment

Can someone refresh my memory as I KNOW there have been much much bigger ones than that


I gave THAT Stoke game a miss...fortunately

er you seem to have forgotten a certain 0 - 5 !

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There was a 4-2 v Gillingham at Withdean a couple of seasons back. Not heavy as such, but a lot of goals. And the score flattered us.

f***...I did see that as well

2 goal difference is not really that heavy in the Albion scheme of things though is it?

 

[Flavor Flav]

5-0 at palace,was my second ever away match too

 

[Braders]

5-1 vs Stoke , Reading & Plymouth

lost count of the amount of times we've let in 4

 

[Slough Seagull]

5-0 at Palace, 5-1 at Plymouth and 5-1 at Reading...

 

[supaseagull]

6-0 V Norwich in the Sherpa Vans Trophy at Carrow Road in 1990...Robert Rosario scored a hat-trick...

I was at THAT Stoke game, when the celery was being thrown around the South Stand. Or the Wigan game a few years back springs to mind when they were 2 up in about 90 seconds, we lost 4 - 2. Not the heaviest defeat but one that sticks....

No. No it isn't. Not a Stoke type disaster for sure

We won that didnt we?

Just remembered another one 5-0(?) at Southampton where we were kept back for 20 mins at the end and were goaded by the local police for most of it

I can beat the lot of you! Lost 9-0 away to Middlesborough in about 1968 I think. Can still remember when their second goal went in thinking that we could still get something out of this match. I was right, it was our record worst score ever!

 

[The Large One]

5-1 at home to Stoke.

I also remember Sheffield Wednesday taking us apart 4-0 at The Goldstone in the season we got to the play-offs. It was a master-class in passing and movement, and we didn't have a clue.

1958. Brian Clough scored five.

At the return match at home, we lost 6-4.

We still managed to finish above them in the table.

We lost 0 - 4 at Brentford 5 or 6 years ago. They had Paul Smith in goal and we were singing "Smithy...Wanker" the whole game I seem to remember. Don't think we ever looked like scoring.

 

[simmo]

6 -1 against Oldham on their artificial in the year that we lost to Notts County in the Play Off final. The ball was pinging up like a powerball off that surface and Oldham were just used to it.

It started snowing at the game too. What a long journey home

 

[Mendoza]

I remember us getting thrashed in a pre season friendly at The Goldstone (RIP) against Sheffield Wednesday. Think it was 7-1 to them. They had Des Walker and Regi Blinker playing for them.

There was the 5 goals leaked at Palace, Plymouth and Reading thrashings away, and the Darlington one at The Priestfield, where Marco Gabiadini scored a hat trick.

The Stoke game with the Rooney hatrick and Loft wonderstrike

 

[Simon Morgan]

The second of the maulings at Brentford. And Kuipers saved a pen!
