At 0-3 yesterday we got to thinking when was the last time we came back from that score line and actually won a game?
I can’t remember one at all in the 40 years I have been going.
Has it happened and I have forgotten or never at all?

I remember us beating Swansea 3-2 from 2-0 down in about 2006. Think we drew 3-3 with Cheltenham in about 2002ish(?) I can't remember if we were 3-0 down or not though but remember been behind in the game.
We're not very good at coming from behind (no innuendo intended)

1991/92 against Bury away, 4 nil down at halftime, came back with a 4.4 in second half.
(Sorry we didn’t win)

In 1957 Town were 6-1 up at half time down at Charlton Athletic and lost 7-6 they called it the greatest come back of all time. Town held the record for scoring 6 goals and losing the game and i don't know if that record still stands.

Not quite correct. 5-1 up with just 29 minutes to play, and Charlton had been down to ten men after only fifteen minutes. It's a record that we'll never shake off; a bit like the Maine Road debacle. |

When was the last Town came from 2 down at home because I can't remember it. I remember coming from 2 down away at Accrington in the FACup maybe 10 years ago. I was actually thinking that at 0 2. Every week you see clubs coming back from 2 down to gain a point or win but its something Town only do once every 20 years. I was thinking maybe today is the day. Then the 3rd went in I thought it again when we go the penalty. I thought today could be the day. But no. Usual shite. |

We're not very good at coming from behind (no innuendo intended) The Cheltenham game, we were only 2 nil down but scored 3 in less than 10 minutes but we were pegged back later on to 3-3. |

Weren't we once 3 nil down to Braford at home?
Ended 3 a piece.
Chris Waddle scored a couple direct from the corner kick.

Walsall had at least one man sent off. |

Yeah I thought that might have been the case. I remember not been able to go and radio commentator going mad, can't remember if it was Oggy or not. Might have been on Home 107.9 😂 fucking hell I feel old. |

No Andy Payton did,clean through and shot tamely at the keeper. We were 0-3 and pulled it back it 2-3 before half time,Lawson scored and Paul Dalton. |

Not sure what the deficit was (0-2 or 1-2), but didn’t a certain McCombe score twice to seal a 3-2 win a few years ago?
Might have been Brentford in the Tabb-gate game?

I think that's two games mixed up. Can remember McCombe getting two but not who it was against but seem to recall it being a late win from behind. Jay Tabb Brentford game was definitely a late comeback and I think ended 3-2, Andy Booth got the winner I think so it would have been about 2006, years before McCombe joined us. |

Might have been Brentford in the Tabb-gate game? 2 matches spring to mind 2 1 down v Brentford won 3 2 Same v Scunthorpe and Won 3 2 McAlisky scored 2. Both we're years back, Stuart Hall was reporting on the Brentford one. Neither game were we 2 0 down. |

Point is we haven't come back to win from 2 down for at least 12 years but managed to lose one to 4th division reserve side a week ago.
We go behind we lose.
It's another trait we've picked up post PL.

I remember the Brentford game with us scoring 2 goals in the last few minutes to win 3-2 when Martin Allen was their manager, Schofield and Booth got the late goals and i think it was the same season at home to Stockport that we were losing 3-2 and won 5-3.

Remember this as they had been time wasting, as you do when your 2 up away from home. So them two goals were a bit special. |

The Bury 4-4 away is still one of my all time greats . We were directly behind the goals in that packed shed , can still see big Ewan's toothless grin..

Not sure if this is partly straying slightly from the actual topic but it did ultimately lead to a critical win v Sheffield United at Wembley in 2012...
Town missed their first THREE penalty kicks and still managed the comeback of all comebacks to win 8-7...
Still got goosebumps from that day and enjoy a watch from time to time ! 👍

Going back 60+ years to the late 50s or early 60s at Leeds Road, I have vague memories of standing behind the goal at the scoreboard end watching us play either Plymouth or Portsmouth and being 0-3 down after about 30 mins but eventually winning 6-3. Les Massie was the man in those days but I can’t remember who scored in that particular match.

Could be a while before we do it again  October 1959 apparently against Pompey |
