All this thread proves is that people have short memories... for starters, the abject 1-5 against Stoke 3 years ago was far worse

[algie]

Losing to Palace 5-0

 

[One True BHA]

Yeah actually I forgot Whing. Ok, I'll retract the "every player" comment and exclude Whing, Cook, and Sullivan from criticism. The rest of them are cowardly wankers.

Add yourself to the list.

Losing 5 - 0 at Palace was worst
Also remember a game at end of 89/90season where we were beaten by an already relegated Stoke at the Goldstone 4-1. We had nothing to play for and it was an embarassing defeat. They fielded their reserves and some youngsters and we could not have argued if they had scored 8.

3-0 defeat at home to Oxford Utd - FA Cup 1982

Yeah, the 5-1 was horrific against Stoke, I'd not felt that bad a football match since I took 5 friends to the Darlington game at the Priestfield, I convinced all those friends to come watch the Albion, and then we lost the game getting stuffed 4-0. It was horrible, I think I cried actually.

The Walsall game was embarrasing, the 4-1 to Scunthorpe was horrific, but today was something else. Crewe were rubbish, to be fair, they've scored 3 stunning goals and a brilliant penalty, and they've thrashed us. A "must win" game, and we've lost 4-0. Brilliant. But this is football, I don't think the players were especially poor today, the effort was there from them all, but sadly they don't have enough creative talent, nor the right tactics.

Wilkins had an uncreative team scoring a couple per game and not conceeding soft goals, what a job that man was doing. As it turns out... Who knew he was such a managerial magician!

Norman Gould on SCR says that today's performance was worst than the 2-8 Bristol Rovers game (and he played in that one!)

Was that a joint decision by Norman Gall and Wally Gould ?

 

[murraymints4brighton]

losing 5-0 to palace was hard to take but i dont think the performance was as bad as today.

 

[Rookie]

from memory the palace 5-0 and stoke at the end of the championship season. Today was not good but have to take into account the injuries before and during the game and the fact crewe scored some quality goals and put 11 men behind the ball before we went down to 10

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Over the years there have been many appalling performances - the last season at the Goldstone and most of the first season at Gillingham would come into that category. The more recent Stoke home game has parallels from the 80's with a game against them in a similar situation.

However, for embarrassing the 5-0 at Palace hurts the most. Anywhere else and you could have just ignored it but not against the greatest rivals.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Though today reduced us to IRONIC cheering, the non-penalty goals were top notch and well worthy of applause. Thought Crewe were taking the piss second half tho when they decided to bring on Daniel O'Donnell

 

[NMH]

As noted by the Crewe fans - we were SUPPOSED to be at home.

 

[Steve Foster]

So, a number of quotes say the 5-0 drubbing at Palace & quite a few for today's game and the Walsall one earlier in the season.

So, this begs the question - Has this season produced more embarrassing results than any other in living memory?

 

[clapham_gull]

Losing to Palace 5-0

yep

 

[KVLT]

Sudbury at home.

Agreed. I was so angry that me and one of those big blue exit gates 'had words'. I lost the fight and had to limp home.

 

[sydney]

i would say it goes beyond embarrasment............the fact that we are in the shite and appear to be bereft of any fighting qualities , and getting comprehensively ROUTED at home by a team who were below us at the start of the game ............like i said we are in the shite and we don't appear to have a clue or enough desire to get out of it.......GUTTED
