When was the last time we let in six (6) at home?

I can remember Bristol Rovers putting eight past us back in the seventies

 

[Art Vs Science]

You're are correct. we lost 2-8. The the time before that was way back in the 1958-1959 season when we lost 4-6 to Middlesboro

So we are better than Man U on recent form !

 

[ManxSeagull]

I recall us conceding 6 at home around 1988 to Notts County in the area semi-final of the paint pot trophy or whatever it was called then. Sherpa van rings a bell

 

[Nottseagull]

Wasn't that only 1-5, Manx?

Freight RoverTrophy then, I think.

And for a bonus point - what is the connection between those two matches?

Brian Clough - as Manager in 2-8 defeat and player in 4-6 defeat - bet he scored as well !

Yep. Hat-trick, apparently (against us). And he scored 5 in the opening match of the season, when we lost 9-0.

And Peter Taylor played in goal for Middlesbrough.

I remember learning a few choice phrases during that match and afterwards.

Now that you've said that, the last time was tomorrow.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

And Adrian Thorne had scored 5 for us on the final day of the previous season...

Got that wrong it was 3-5 to Cardiff in April 94. Close.

To be fair it was quite difficult to keep track of the score
