Although this was bad, it was not our nadir. From memory we were at least in the play off race here.
Some of that defending was truly awful.
On the bright side, I think I spotted myself in the crowd!

God, the state of this. Peter Vincenti's defending. Peter Vincenti, in general.
My Dad and I "treated" ourselves to seats in the West Stand for this match.
Christ the defending and the goalkeeping 
You would never think Hyam would go on to have a very successful career at Championship level watching that.

One of my very best mates met at uni is a huge YTFC fan and he never fails to message me a photo of the scoreboard every anniversary of this game
Lee burge just lying down for the first 3. I remember our defence especially hyam looked like they were running through treacle.
Accrington x2. Forest green x2 and the above game. Fortunately we managed to sneak out of that division or it could have been very different
I never took to Lee Burge, no idea why I just thought he looked like a constant weak link
That save he pulled off in the 90th min in the Checkatrade final was miraculous though
I always thought he was quite badly treated. A fine goalkeeper for the level we were at in the league 2. Part of the journey to where we are.
Always thought him and Charles-Cook looked like they had a clanger in them no matter the game and how comfortable we were in it, which is why they were third and fourth tier goalkeeper in fairness
When we had to sign Stockdale for a few games on an emergency loan the level in class he was above showed how limited our goalkeeping options were at the time
Actually I’ll just say anything under Slade. Apart from beating Wycombe in the semis.
Had to share the train back to Leamington with some cider drinking Yeovil fans. Without looking at the highlights, I remember 2 decent Maxime goals, and Hyam getting done for pace a lot in the game?
Cambridge Utd Away in the FA Cup the year we were relegated from League 1 was my rock bottom moment - We were absolutely trounced 4-0 by a side from the division below, letting Luke Berry (a centre mid) score all 4 goals - and 4-0 flattered us if anything
I think it is the most numb I have ever felt walking out of a football ground, a different kind of numb to watching us lose play-off, FA Cup Semis in cruel fashion - Numb as in the sense of my love for the club was being severely tested, I remember turning to my dad and just saying something along the lines of "Genuinely why do we bother with this shit?"
My emotional ties to that side were cut that day, I knew they would get relegated and I only kept going to the games through force of habit and for the days out with my mates - I wasn't invested in the results at all until the Checkatrade Final which lit the fire in my stomach again
Personally the lowest point for me was this catastrophe in 17/18. Barnet away on Sky. Standing in a covered stand where the rain lashed across the open sides and I watched an appalling game. How we got out of L2 that season was the biggest miracle of all and Robins greatest achievement in my opinion.
How they found two minutes of highlights defies me!

Omg that defending and keeping the by burge.
Laughable looking back
I did enjoy Exeter and Newport away days that year though!!

My only memory of this game was watching it on Sky Go in Luton Airport as we flew to Lithuania to watch England play that morning, was one of the only games I never went to that season and is the reason why Barnet is one of the 3 grounds in the 92 I have not been to
Met him once in Dunelm, was following his misses round like a lost puppy. Actually felt a bit sorry for him as you could see how little confidence he had.
Hyam got absolutely torn a new one in that game.
Completely done for pace.
He did brilliantly to come back from that tbh

What made it even more worse is that we went into that game in really good form, unbeaten in 6.
That was a long drive home. Yeovil is just down the road from me too, and I still have work colleagues taking the piss about it. 8 years ago, move on. Please!

Ha ha, that's me, my dad, and daughters sat in a row all to ourselves by the corner flag after the first goal.
Edit: I say row - looks like we have the first 4 to ourselves apart from one other dude.

People dont realise how big that win over notts County was and the significants it had regarding the future of our club. If we hadn't gone up that season having seen what happened to Notts County the following season I honestly think we may have slipped out of the league and possible liquidation under Sisu
This game is ingrained in my head for the league two season. Horrendous game that. Every time they come forward they scored
SISU would never have liquidated us, the debt was to them.
we wouldn’t have slipped out the league - we’d bottomed out at this stage. Even at our lowest we’d have been big fishes in that league
Gotta love Max's volley but fuck me, a statue would have been better than Burge. was Madden playing for them then?? didn't spot him in this?
I remember people actually trying to defend Burge and saying hes not a bad keeper. I know we've been spoilt this season but fick me he was terrible wasn't he.
