When was the last time we lost 5-0 in the league?

[PeterNdlovu081]

I'm drawing a blank on this one.

Don't think it's happened anytime in the past 20 years.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Lost by 6 (I think) against Arsenal Yoof a few years back.
Before then, a painful reminder of 3 5-0s on the trot in the 80s? Arsenal were one of them I think.

 

[rotweissler]

Under McEwan? 5-0, 5-0 then 5-1 my feeble brain recalls...

Didn't we lose 5-0 away at Blackburn under Warnock ?

 

[Bert]

Bert vaguely recalls us scoring 5, 5, 6 or something like that in consecutive weeks, early 70's. Pompy, Villa, Brum?

Silent will be along shortly in his dinner hour to clarify.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

You're absolutely right.

1st April, 2000.

 

[Silent Blade]

Under McEwan? 5-0, 5-0 then 5-1 my feeble brain recalls...

Coldwell in January 1978. 5-0 in FA Cup at home to Arsenal, 5-1 at home to Bolton and 5-1 away to Sunderland. Harry Haslam then was appointed as our new manager a few days later

 

[1973Blade]

We lost 5-0.at home to Oldham in the 1980s.

Silent will be along shortly in his dinner hour to clarify.

Between August and December 1969 but not in consecutive weeks. Won 5-1 at Pompey on 16th August, 5-0 at home to Pompey on 7th October, 5-0 at home to Villa on 22nd November, 6-0 at home to Birmingham on 13th December (I still remember my dad telling me the score when he picked me up from a children's Xmas party at his work's.

We also won 5-1 at home to Oxford in April 1970

 

[Silent Blade]

We lost 5-0.at home to Oldham in the 1980s.

January 1988, McEwan resigned after the match

 

[CarlingBlade]

6-0 away at Man City, maybe around 1999?

 

[Blade56]

Satdi

 

[SwissBlade]

Didn't we lose 5-0 away at Blackburn under Warnock ?

Yeah we did! Keef Gillespie playing an absolute blinder on the wing, I told him in the players lounge after that he should sign for us.

Seem to remember chatting to Curtis woodhouse and he said Warnock didn't like him, but that might've been a couple years later after we'd sold him

 

[JJ Sefton]

Yeah we did! Keef Gillespie playing an absolute blinder on the wing, I told him in the players lounge after that he should sign for us.

And he replied "Security!"

 

[JOEYDEE]

Horrible, depressing thread !

 

[SwissBlade]

And he replied "Security!"

I think he was just happy to have a drinking partner

Was at the Arsenal , and Bolton game , think we beat millwall 5-2 that season as well .

 

[SRBlade]

Ipswich spanked us 5-1 in 2004/05

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Ipswich spanked us 5-1 in 2004/05

Yeah but that's not 5 nil

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

A more memorable one was losing 6-0 to Manchester City in August of 1999.

Simon Tracey was sent off just before half time.

 

[Tray]

Lost by 6 (I think) against Arsenal Yoof a few years back.
Before then, a painful reminder of 3 5-0s on the trot in the 80s? Arsenal were one of them I think.

Aye 6-0 to a team including a young Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere. Bendtner was up top and all I think.

Just looked it up:

Arsenal: Fabianski, Hoyte, Djourou, Song Billong (Lansbury 70), Gibbs, Randall, Ramsey, Merida (Coquelin 71), Wilshere, Bendtner (Simpson 71), Vela.
Subs Not Used: Mannone, Emmanuel-Thomas, Ogogo, Frimpong.

Goals: Bendtner 31, 42, Vela 44, 50, Wilshere 57, Vela 87.

Sheff Utd: Kenny, Halford, Morgan, Kilgallon, Naysmith, Cotterill (Naughton 46), Speed (Hendrie 73), Quinn, Montgomery, Beattie (Robertson 76), Webber.
Subs Not Used: Bennett, Sharp, Geary, Ehiogu.

I'd love that side back now!

 

[Revolution]

Ipswich spanked us 5-1 in 2004/05

One oddity about that game: it came in the middle of a really good run.

We lost 4-0 at Wigan on 18 September. Then we lost 2-0 at home to them on 1 January. In between, we played 17 league games, and that was the only one we lost.

Mind you, that was during our 35 year run of not winning at Portman Road.

 

[Isar]

Was at the Arsenal , and Bolton game , think we beat millwall 5-2 that season as well .

I was at the Arsenal and Bolton games, also the 1:5 defeat to Blackpool and Keith scored our goal to create a consecutive scoring record for SUFC. Not sure if it still stands.

He broke the post war record. Jimmy Dunne has the all time record, as people pointed out when Vardy got close to it last year.

 

[8lade]

The Arsenal game was in the cup.

 

[Silent Blade]

Peter Wragg has the post war record. Newspapers in 1977 were wrong in thinking Mick Jones was the holder of the post war record before that Blackpool match. Think it was Andrew Kirkham or Denis Clareborough that confirmed Edwards didnt break the post war record

Revolution , my apologies... I have just checked the record books and I have got it wrong. It was Peter Wragg's record that Keith Edwards had smashed and now Wragg doesnt have the post war record. I had thought in 1977 that Mick Jones had held this record (cant remember where I got the info from) before that Blackpool match

The funny thing about that game is that it was actually quite tight but in the second half, everything they hit seemed to go in.

We went in at half time 1-1, and I remember saying to my Grandad that I fancied us to go on and win it. It was a bloody long trip home on a Tuesday after that.

I remember Kieron Dyer almost single-handedly won that game for Ipswich, he was on another level.

You're right though, we were looking good in the first half and definitely didn't deserve the score line.

I'd love that side back now!

The disappointing thing about that defeat to Arsenal youngsters is it happened only about 10 months after the game where we beat them on New Years Eve 1-0. Christian Nade (?) scored. It's fair to say you'd love that side back now but without the manager we had at that time.

Maybe that night should have told us this is going to be a long road back.
