[Football] What Was The Worst Albion Performance You Have Ever Seen ?

[Eeyore]

With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth after tonight's limp effort at The Kenny, I wondered what the worst all time performance you have ever witnessed from the Albion was. Feel free to combine it with your worst away day experience.

For me, having traveled the length and breadth of blighty in the 90s there are a few.

One I especially remember was a 4-1 defeat at Bristol Rovers in April 1992. I was sitting in the main stand and It was summed up by a Rovers player on the ball shouting out 'Come on, this is easy'

The score could have been so much more that day.

Too many.

Millwall at the Amex under Hyypia.

3 nil down inside 15 mins away at Brentford (Glen Thomas horror show!)

4 nil down in 2002, at Brentford again - even though we won the title that year. Utterly freezing January night too.

Every away performance at Brentford come to think of it…

I wonder how long before someone posts the obvious one, after about 13 years waiting…

Definitely seen worse from us before.

 

[Vicar!]

4-0 loss at Southend (excluding the Bristol Rovers farce.)

Millwall at the Amex under Hyypia.

That game was my benchmark in trying to think of the last time we played as badly as tonight. Really bizarre, grim atmosphere, it felt like there was no stopping the rot at that point.

Walsall 3 -0 Brighton at the start of Slades tenure. Woeful, miserable, boring

That match up the road when we lost 5-0

Losing under Case away at Doncaster when we at the foot of league 2… I think it was 4-0, was simply put: so utterly dreadful, I still to this day can’t adequately describe what I witnessed.

But I’ll give it a go:

It was like watching two sets of drunk men trying to build a complex piece of IKEA furniture without instructions and several L shaped brackets.

I think I might have cried that day.

I was about to post the same. On one of those I left early and found the train cancelled.

Losing 4-1 or 5-1 to Stoke at the Goldstone when they were already down.

And getting smashed at Upton Park in the FA Cup.

Away to Fulham under Hughton. A cold and snowy night towards the end of his tenure. We took an early 2 goal lead but never looked convincing. Second half we conceded 4.

West Ham away under Poyet. 5-0 by half time I seem to recall. Only time I left an away game early.

Everton at home last season. Can’t split these!

Huddersfield 7-1 2009

This. I’ve just mentioned it on another thread. The journey home made it worse. I couldn’t even doze off on the coach from listening to mosners and whiners.

Ah yes, but you need to apply some sort of formula to make sense of this. Sort of cost of squad divided by scoreline. Or multiplied by. Somebody on here must do the maths.....

Forgot that too. Yes, the trains were shocking. Nightmare getting home after.

That match up the road when we lost 5-0

We have a winner!!!

Amazing it took as many posts as it did to get to this one.

But as I said on the OMDT, I can honestly say I don't remember us ever playing as badly as that under Potter. The last time we were as poor as that was probably Bournemouth or Cardiff at home under Hughton. Even the Burnley 0-3 two seasons ago,, Everton 1-5 last season or Villa 1-6 this season were not as bad as this.
