Greatest comebacks

[fbm]

Newport '77.

Around 1978/9 we also came back from 2-0 down to beat Southport 4-2 at RH.

Wasn't it also Rochdale who were 3-0 up at the Hall once and Leon Cort scored a hat trick as we came back to draw 3-3?

And I think there was a Christmas game v Rushden under Buzz where we went 2 down early on but came back and won.

Any others?

Wembley against Wycombe.

Darlington (I think): 0-2 at home and won 3-2. Mark Gower was on the score sheet.

2003/2004. 0-1 away at Swansea should get an honourable mention given we managed to come away with a 3-2 win having had 3 players sent off.

[jackj13]

3-1 down to Norwich in the Championship. Still one of my favourite ever home games.

 

[Rob Noxious]

A 4-2 win v Bristol Rovers just after Christmas '87.

 

[cerbera45]

no matter how you dress it up last night's comeback was mighty impressive

 

[Rob Noxious]

The QPR FA Cup game in January '75, especially given how impressive they were back then.

Just in case you're relatively young, we were 2-0 down and came back to draw 2-2.

[TITSUP]

FA Cup 2002 , goals from Bramble and Cort in last three minutes to win 2-1 away to Hartlepool. I remember being at a foggy Services on the way back thinking that it had all been a dream.

Re the Wigan game in 1988 if only someone was about to talk about the winner.

 

[londonblue]

How about 2 goals in injury time away at Gillingham to win 2-1? (Coulbault and Boere with the goals.)

Also, coming from 3-0 down at home to Portsmouth to draw 3-3 with a Cox hattrick.

 

[GBJ]

My memory is hazy, but I recall the comeback against Brighton in the League Cup 06/07

We bossed the game but somehow found ourselves trailing. Then right at the death we scored 3 goals in about 5 minutes, including Lewis Hunt’s wonder strike, which is still one of the best goals I’ve ever seen live.

We ended up drawing Man Utd in the next round, if anyone remembers that?

 

[londonblue]

Home against Hartlepool in 1984/85.

2-1 down at half time. Richard Cadette scored in the 91st and John Gymer got the winner in the 92nd.

IIRC correctly, the scoring in the 1st half was something like they scored in the 43rd, Richard Cadette equalised in the 44th and they scored again in the 45th.
