Best comebacks

[sufc323]

The greatest game thread got me thinking about the best comebacks that we've had either to draw or win. Off top of my head are:

0-3 to 3-3 v Wigan away under Adkins
0-2 to 3-2 v Colchester in about 5 minutes under Clough
0-2 to 2-2 v Pigs
0-2 to 4-2 v Brighton, Asaba hat trick
0-2 to 4-3 v Forest (nearly forgot that one!)

0-2 to 4-3 v Forest (nearly forgot that one!)

The Forest game was a different level altogether, given the importance of the match.

I was at the Wigan game and I can assure you that it didn't feel that good. We had been dire in the first half and half of the away support were chanting "We're fucking shit, we're fucking shit, we're fucking shit...". Somehow Wigan caught our shit disease and managed to be inept enough to let Billy do what Billy does best.

It really wasn't a wonder comeback with all the fans buzzing and leaving the ground happy. Adkins was still shit and it barely papered over the cracks, but with shitty extra thin paper and big deep cracks.

3-3 vs Man Utd was memorable, 2-0 up only for Man Utd to hit us with three goals in 7 minutes and go 2-3 up. Step up McBurnie to grab an equaliser in the 90th min.

That whole season was one I'll never forget, we had some great seasons under CW but the triple assault season for me was just as good.

30th Dec 1967 versus Southampton at Bramall Lane.

Southampton had a reyt team in those days.

Campbell Forsyth
Dave Webb
David Walker
Ken Jones
Dennis Hollywood
Jimmy Melia
Jimmy Gabriel........................ @
Mick Channon
Martin Chivers
Ron Davies
Terry Paine


Martin Chivers scored for them in the 1st half and i feared the bratwurst.

But we smashed them in the 2nd half and won 4-1.

 

[beatific blade]

What about this?

• 0-2 in the 85th min and Kozluk pops up at the back post in the 96th to equalise
• Billy Sharp scored twice against us
• That Blades team is absolute aids on toast

Davies and Chivers with Channon in the 10 role is some potent attack.

Notts County away FA Cup (Jan'99....I've now looked it up) 3-1 down with 5 minutes left, away end empties pretty rapidly. Two goals in the last 5 minutes, away end starts to refill again.
Marcelo winner in extra time plus Wayne Quinn getting red carded livens things up a bit.

I was listening to that Wigan match on RS and remember not having the normal buzz of a comeback, purely because we were so shit as you said and that season was meh.

The 3 goals we gave away were a shambles too.

 

[reedy63]

Leeds in the league cup.
1-0 down with a min to go.
Then Jagielka scores a wonder goal.
Then Ndlouv scores the winner in injury time.

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Away at Donny NYD 2013. 2-0 down wishing I hadn't bothered going, hungover and having David Coterill trying to wind up the Blades fans.

Ironside comes on, wins a pen which is put away by Blackman, followed by a Kitson equaliser. FT 2-2

My first ever game at BDTBL

Sept 1970

3-0 down v Bristol City - can’t back to draw 3-3 in last 20 mins - the rest is history

The game against PNE when we came back from 2 nil down to win due to James Thomas' last minute goal was a pretty epic game in an otherwise forgettable season

that was over Christmas in the 00/01 season, was forgettable but i think till 5 games to go we had an outside chance of play offs? The more forgettable season was 01/02 which was an absolute fucking snoozefest.

 

[Aganarama]

Brighton away - two down, Asaba hat-trick. 4-2 win. Triple assault season. Local MP on the radio afterwards moaning about the referee

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Warnock promotion season. Watford away - 2-0 down won 3-2.

 

[Cheesebored]

Southampton 3, United 3
1993. Down to ten men, losing 3-1, two late Flo goals leading to what I believe the youngsters of today refer to as 'limbs'.

Bouncing day, the pigs comeback to 2-2 is one of my favourite lead ups to one of our goals ever. Without that short lived comeback the Duffy goal and silly bouncing bastards couldn't have happened.

I had to google who the hell Parrino was.

Elian Parrino - Wikipedia

Clearly I've blocked out some bad memories.

 

[PokerBlade]

Serves them right for Muscat that.

When Joao scored I was all "fuck it, they're gonna win this"

Then out of nowhere...

Fuck you cunt!

Home vs West Ham in 1994

 

[Guesty]

2-0 to Watford away, won 3-2. That was fun.

 

[Ecco1889]

that bizarre 5-5 game v Swindon had some kind of comeback

 

[Balham]

Reading away in the 2010/11 season. We were dead and buried, 6 points from safety with three to play then 2-0 down after 20 minutes. I was in the verge of leaving but should have kept the faith as two from Henderson, one from Williamson saw us win 3-2. We promptly blew our chance of staying up by drawing the next game 2-2 against Barnsley.

 

[IOM Blade]

Blades 4-4 Brum. Both teams coming back from 2 goals down.

If we had beat Barnsley would still have been relegated mate
