What about any defeats to Wednesday?
Can’t believe we’d lose to such a small tinpot team

The Notts County was all the more depressing as we used to stand on the West Terrace, it was my first game after it being knocked down and sitting in the south stand all i could see was rubble where i had once had some of the best football moments of my life.Not got the memory to rank them properly. But here's some shockers off the top of my head
Lost 2-0 at St Andrews in 2002. Andy Smith came on at one point. I'm not sure we had a shot.
The frankly horrific 2-0 defeat at Oakwell, March 97. Barnsley coppers celebrating with pitch invading Barnsley fans while United make no attempt to even compete
6-0 at Man City. Tracey sent off. Horlock, Goater and Gareth Taylor scoring, I don't mind. Dickov and Mark Kennedy
The surrender at Villa Park in the penultimate game of 06/07. We didn't even try. Anyone wanting Warnock back should remember this day
1-3 v Notts County, August 1994. I was only 13 but I remember thinking "my God, the horror". There were only 15k there as well. Littlejohn scored for United (I think)
4-0 defeat at Wigan, September 2004. Nathan Ellington annihilated Jags
Yes that Coventry game was a stinker, whenever I think of Boxing Day that's what flashes through my head. I can only presume they were hungover and full of turkey but God it was bad. You're right at times under Bassett there would be a dog's dinner of a performance. My first trip to Forest was a 2-0 defeat with Andy Sayer (?) up front and Jesus we offered nothing.Before this season I think the worst home League performance I've seen live was a 3-0 defeat to Coventry on Boxing Day 1991. When it worked Bassett's team was great to watch, direct but exciting, when it didn't, it was truly dreadful. We literally could not string two passes together that day and it was fucking freezing too. I left after the 3rd went in on around 65 minutes.
I was at the infamous Bury away 1-0 defeat in Adkins' season. It was toxic that night, the team played like drunks, later Baxter was revealed to have failed a drugs test and the only player to come out with any credit was poor George Long as if it hadn't been for him, it would have been about 6-0.
In the cup, it's easily the aforementioned Stockport game. They bullied us and deservedly won 5-2, which flattered us. Thought it was Alun Armstrong and Brett Angell who tore us apart.
Conversely best performances I have seen when we have lost
Number 1
Scunthorpe 0-4 at home we were like a mix of Brazil 70 and France 98 don't be fooled by the result.
Crystal palaceWhat was the match in 1987 or 1988 in front of 6600 odd? That one.
The whole thing was played in silence as far as my aged memory recalls.
If you're referring to the game at Forest which broke our winning run in 1991, I was there too and it was Tommy Gaynor who scored both the goals.Yes that Coventry game was a stinker, whenever I think of Boxing Day that's what flashes through my head.

I did, post #72Can’t believe no one has said Bury away under Adkins. That night was absolutely awful

We actually won that game 1-0 with a Colin Morris penalty. Beagrie also had a penalty saved. Lowest post-war attendance of 6,647Crystal palace
We rounded off the Arsenal and Bolton results with a 5-1 defeat at Sunderland. Kids at my school were repeating the following "joke".Yep Boro was the worse, even utd players watching in away end left with 30 mins to go roughly..
Wrong number, it was 505151We rounded off the Arsenal and Bolton results with a 5-1 defeat at Sunderland. Kids at my school were repeating the following "joke".
Q - What's Sheffield United's phone number?
A - It's 505051.
Yep that's the one, it was Easter Monday I think. I'm sure that some of the bad performances were due to the players being on the sauce the night before, perhaps holiday seasons were worse. Tracey was hardly mobile at the best of times but he took 2 or 3 breaks running out for the second half back to his goal.If you're referring to the game at Forest which broke our winning run in 1991, I was there too and it was Tommy Gaynor who scored both the goals.
I know it's a different post (sorry) but he should have gone after the 8-0, any other club would have shown him the door!!8-0 this season was absolutely ridiculous. I stil can't believe we lost a home game 8 fucking nil
Sunderland 4-0 game was unbelievably embarrassing. Bruce looked at least 100 years old that day.
Stoke 3-0 is the only time I've left a game early up until this season where I've already left before 80 minutes on 2 occasions
With that mind I probably have to go Saturday too. I was staggered how bad we were
Last one I'd go Wolves play off final. Absolutely shit ourselves
If my memory serves me right, after the two 5-0 defeats Arsenal/ Bolton the next match was at Sunderland and we lost 5-0 there as well ffs!!Bramall lane .
70s we lost to arsenal at home 0_5
Then Bolton a week or two later 0_5
Newcastle was awful and I fear another one coming as we have a weak manager.
We also lost to Middlesbrough 3 years running at the lane.
The worst ever performance I've seen the blades was away at Middlesbrough the 6_0 defeat . Boro had a brilliant side but we had no fight in anyway same as man City 6_0 defeat .
As a club we are traditionally the underdogs but have managers who put fight in the players, we could easily attract 40k home support if any potential buyer sees our loyal support after 100 years of no major success .
