headhunter Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 1923 : 29th September Bristol City 0 Derby County 8 That's 87 years ago. There have been a few 6-1's and a handful of 0-6's away from home but it's that long since we suffered so badly at home. Many have remembered the 'recent' 1-6 against Wolves 9/11/98 and whilst it was a 2nd leg League Cup tie a 1-6 at home to Sunderland 9/10/90 also comes to mind [and we won 1-0 at Roker in the 1st Leg!]. But 0-6 at home is just unacceptable. We should remember that GJ also presided over the club's record run of 9 straight defeats after the 'hand grenade' incident buit for me this is his Tinnion moment. He won't go now but our fantastic Chairman deserves some answers from a manager who has had more money to spend [even allowaing for inflation] than any previous manager in the history of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I was trying to think of the last time anyone lost by 6 goals at home in the league. It really can't happen that often especially two teams who are not that far apart in terms of league position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 My god, is it actually that long ago. And it really should have been 0-7,8,9 ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I certainly can't ever remember being 4-0 down at home at half time. It could have been even worse last night if Cardiff had really gone for it in the last half hour. Double figures could easily have been on the cards.

Mr Mosquito Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Norwich 1 Colchester 7 Didn't the Norwich manager lose his job after that and Norwich then went on to appoint the Colchester manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 That 23-24 season? City finished bottom of Div 2 and were relegated. P42 W7 D15 L20 F32 A 65 Pts 29. Poor old Derby; they were 3rd and failed to go up on goal difference as they didn't score enough! Leeds were top, Bury 2nd. Bury & Derby had identical records. P42 W21 D9 L12, but Bury F63 A35 whilst Derby could only manage F75 A42. Although Derby had a better goal difference, back then it was decided on goal average. It was better to score 99 and concede 49 as that would give you an average of 2 and a bit goals whereas scoring 100 and conceding 50 would produce an average of 2 exactly. Bury's average works out at 1.8 to Derby's 1.785714286. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityhead Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 The memory may be fuddled a bit but didn't we lose 0-6 at home to Blackpool late 60s or early 70s. The best bit that I remember was Alan Skirton scoring a hat-trick and Dicks being so impressed he immediately bought Skirton. The irony was that the two of them didn't get on as Dicks wanted Skirton to track back and refused asa it wasn't part of his game! Player power - nothing new there.

22A Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 City bought Skirton after he scored 2 against us when City 2 - Blackpool 4 was MOTD. To all younger forum users, MOTD used to show 2 games on Satdee nite; one from the top div and the other could be from anywhere! So if the teams in 2nd & 3rd positions of division 4 were playing each other, as it was important, that was shown on MOTD rather than a meaningless Lunnon derby between (say) Chelsea & Spurs.
