Greatest Comeback Victory (1 Viewer)

[jto123]

Wondering from memory what people think our greatest ever comeback victory was? I can’t remember us coming from more than 2 goals down in my thirty years supporting us…and before people say it, yes I’m not counting the FA Cup Semi Final even if we believe we won it. Any other nominations?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nope

 

[Robinshio]

We beat Blues 4-2 from 2-0 down. Sheaf got a couple. Probably the best I remember

The FA cup final, no one gave us a chance, and when we went 1-0 down against a Spurs time full of world class talent, it didn't look good.

They had top class players like Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles, Clements, Allen etc .... and we had Greg Downs, Nick Pickering, Lloyd McGrath and Micky Gynn.

But what fight and spirit we showed, Hero's everyone of them

Maybe our greatest victory, but I wouldn’t really call it a great comeback victory.

Nope

Thank you for your contribution

The 3-2 League Cup win against Spurs under Big Ron

Tell me one other comeback that matters

Never really felt like we did comebacks until recently. Must have won 5 or 6 from losing positions last season. West Brom was the only one we were losing by 2 I think, so I'll go that one.

I'm sure we had back to back comeback wins in consecutive seasons against Peterborough about 10-15 years ago.

I remember absolutely loving them at the time, probably because it was pretty rare for us to turn a game around at all at that point.

Horrific goalkeeping as was the norm at that time.

Cheers Burgey.

Southampton home in 85/86. 2-0 down to win 3-2. Alan Brazil scored (possibly his debut).

I was 9 and only remember it as I had the whole match coverage on VHS and my best mate was a Southampton fan which made Monday morning at school very enjoyable.

Screw you, Paul Jarvis!

Shucks…Victory

I had the FA Cup robbery against MU….The most intense hour of football I’ve seen.

Not a victory but the 3-3 against Wimbledon in the 90’s… maybe 95. We had a player sent off very early and went 1-3 down. Rennie bagged a later equaliser and 6000 people went mad inside Highfield road.

Actually had 2 players sent off thinking about it. Although I feel like I’m making stuff up now…I’ll chat gpt it

Yeah we did .

Bristol City just after we were allowed back to games, down to 10 men, last minute winner, atmosphere was buzzing.

Forgot that one. I'll go with that too.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

That comeback against Bristol City to win 3-2, when we'd had a player sent off was a fantastic game (and atmosphere)

 

[EalingSB]

What about the 3-3 at Portsmouth with 9 men? The best comeback was against United at Wembley even if it ultimately ended in glorious failure. The feelings that day - amazing.

Yes, I remember that exact same feeling. That winning in a high scoring game felt rare let alone a comeback win. Only really start to change with Robins.

Shipley had a chance to win it at Fratton Park too. Great night.

The Manchester United cup game is the only time I remember us coming from 3 down; have there been others?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

In the Premier league vs Wimbledon mid nineties. OK wasn't a win but felt like it at the time abit poppy away recently

I think were 3-1 down at home and drew 3-3 with nine men!

 

[clint van damme]

Yeah we did .

Ndlovu nearly got a winner as well

No

Yeah, only one I can remember. My guess is that would be quite normal for a club that isn’t the top six, but couldn’t be sure of that.

Preston in the EFL cup was a goodun, 93rd and 94th

It was though, twice came from behind

Until the return in 2021 that was right up there as one of the best moments at Ricoh / CBS

 

[fernandopartridge]

Bristol City at home in 2021 was a great one, with ten men as well

 

[jto123]

Yeah I suppose, but I was thinking more in terms of goals. Of course there have been loads of games where we have come from a goal behind.

Yep Man Utd would have been the one and only

1981 League cup semi-final home leg v West Ham; 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go, won 3-2. One of the greatest ever nights at HR and a spine-tingling atmosphere. Pity about the offside last minute goal for them in the second leg
