Definitely the Gerry Sharpe broken leg vs boro way back when... Must be the most haunting on field moment for any City fan that was there that day... The horrendous 'crack' that seemed to echo around the ground, can still hear it in my head as if it happened yesterday. The loss of Gerry was a tremendous blow for club and player, the injury ended his career with us at a time when he was approaching his best, and his future had looked very bright .... So sad, awful to see it and hear it and everyone immediately knew that it was all over, sickening. Absolutely THE worst moment by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hull p/o defeat has to be the worst one I attended (pet rabbit was killed later that night too!) Although, as many have said, the Brighton defeat was probably more galling. Perhaps due to it being such a tame end to a highly enjoyable era for me. The 0-3 at Trumpton would seem to be a front runner and I remember not enjoying the ensuing playground banter. Would love to see a poll on this; there is certainly no end of candidates. Rabbit ? .... ffs what sort of a bastard are you ? ... Most of us just settle for giving the cat a kick after a bad game!

First or second year that the dolman had opened, home to Cardiff 0/0 few minutes to go. Dad says right were off. Got as far as the car park when the roar goes up. 1/0 to us.

Remember events like these are extremely rare, sleep well and don't have nightmares! I was with Gary Smart at our game against Wolves this year in hospitality. He's a really decent bloke, a fan of the club who got to play a few games and got his 15 minutes of fame. He was telling me that as he was nearly always in the reserves who played in the Combination at the time , he got to play at a lot of the 'big' grounds. Sadly, it's unlikely that players will be able to take the same route from local football to play for 'their' team any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the next two months all I heard from them for the next two months was “watch out, Beadle’s about”, thankfully two months later we stuffed them 4-2 at Trumpton. Definitely this one for me. It was just an horrendous evening. The next day, my 6th form lessons were split between Mangotsfield & Downend Schools, so I get merciless stick from not one, but two lots of Gasheads.

North London Red Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Haven’t checked every post on the thread but don’t think I’ve seen anyone else mention the back to back losses at Wycombe and Crewe in 2013-14 under O’Driscoll. Two of the three most awful City performances I’ve ever seen; the Crewe game in particular (1-0 loss to a stoppage time penalty) sticks in the mind as an absolute horror show. Seeing a City team play with such a lack of quality, direction and (above all) ambition was shocking. The third of the three worst performances I’ve seen was the 5-1 loss at Blackpool towards the end of 2001-02, when we were still in with a shout of the play offs. Awful away day. For overall disappointment, however, it has to be Brighton at the Millennium in 2004. Losing such an awful game to a team who were only marginally less awful than ourselves (and with our team showing such a lack of attacking intent in the process) was hugely deflating. At least with the Hull game at Wembley I walked away knowing we’d lost a tight game to a wonder goal against a team who’d finished a place above us in the league, and that our team had given its all for the 90 minutes.

I think his last was 1-1 at home midweek to Leyton Orient (who to be fair were going well in the league). That would be up there for me simply because my train broke down at Swindon, GWR's entire network ground to a half, my total travel time to the game was 7 hours (no, seriously), I arrived five minutes into the second half close to 9pm, saw about 40 minutes of non-descript football, then went back, trains still a mess, 4 more hours to get home. 11 hours to see half of that game. As others have said: 1. Brighton, 2. Cardiff Play Off Second Leg, 3. Hull, but here are some others that would run them close: - Birmingham (H) under Benny (we had just had a mini-revival and that cracking win at Fratton, we played okay again but Mike Dean conspired against us, probably ended our chances), - Colchester (H) under Pulis (realising your entire team has become so average it is just a backdrop for a talented young opponent, actually finding yourself enjoying the opposition more) - Stoke (A) under GJ (people forget how huge that game was - and the Stoke fans let us know it, they've been in the Premier League ever since) I would put that Stoke game up there with anything.
