Memory Lane Five years ago today

[Keep On Shrimping]

We won 2-1 at Huddersfield with a last minute winner that put us into 5th place in League One with this line up

Flahaven
Francis, Clarke, Barrett, Mulgrew
Black, McCormack, Bailey, Gower
Robson-Kanu, Walker

Subs were Barnard, Moussa, Grant, Collis, Scannell

I could almost cry when I look at how far we've gone backwards in 5 years.

Not as far backwards as Scannell, Black Walker and the management team

Not as far backwards as Scannell, Black Walker and the management team

an unnecessarily racist comment :winking:

 

[DTS]

What a great side that was looking back. Hard to believe it is only 5 years since we had some of those lads.

Barney on the bench? :stunned:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ten years ago today we lost 2-1 at Hartlepool with this team:

Flahavan
Sutch Cort Kelly Searle
Marney ThurGOD Beard Jenkins
Bramble Salter

Gay, Jordan, McSweeny, Kightly, Darby

Darby came on for Marney in the 67th minute

Now that team makes me weep, except the centre-halves who would walk into the team from 5 years ago.

The only thing you can say to that is. THANKS VERY MUCH RON.

Just a guess, on his way back from an injury?

Am I right in thinking that was a big shock? They were top of the division and we were really struggling?

Funny to think we've not played Watford in the league since, given that we've faced them around 100 times over the years. I've been waiting for a Southend game there for ages in order to 'tick off' Vicarage Road

Maher has been about forever. Must have been one of his first ever seasons with us

We won the next two and thought we had turned the corner
2 points from the next 21 saw us relegated
Alvin Martin. ....

I have absolutely zero recollection of this game. I have a horrific record at Vicarage Road (presumably by Elton John). From seeing us go 3-0 down inside 10 minutes, to that game where Andy Thomson was sent off (no really, he was) and we conceded a last minute winner in the 98th minute. I probably couldn't take another visit there by then. Just walking up the allotments would bring me out in a cold sweat.

Whereas I remember the shock of beating Wigan away (David Whyte scored) and beating Bournemouth 5-3. It was 0-0 at half-time.

We got relegated at York with two games remaining.

Maher has been about forever. Must have been one of his first ever seasons with us

He'd signed a month or two earlier.

 

[Firestorm]

We had an unusual record of whenever we scored 5 we got relegated that season
We put 5 past Bolton the season before
Our recent relegation from the championship saw us put 5 past QPR

"Oh Andy Thomson,
When will we see,
Your like again?
Our flower from Scotland,
Our scorer of goals....."

Had?

Unless I've forgotten a goal glut, we've been relegated every season we've scored 5 in a match since 1989/90 when we beat Aldershot 5-0 twice.

I wasnt sure that the run had ended...

I think I've only seen us play there once..2-2 IIRC and Keith Dublin scored, so it can't be that unlucky

Err. we didn't get relegated last season?? :dim:

That win at Northampton just changed the run, every time we score 5 at home we end up going down....

The worst part will be seeing the lineup today and then reading this post again!

Anyone from today you would swap in for that team 5years ago?
