I have been supporting RFC for what feels like 500 years on days like today . Discussing with mates after the game, I reckoned this was our first win from 2 goals down since that Boro game. Apart from that - even with my elephant-like memory for games - I can't think of a single other time we've won from 2 goals down that I have witnessed . Can you stat-me some relevant data for the past 20 years or so? Ta.

Seem to remember Plymouth at Elm park. Also QPR 1st round Simod cup?

Blimey you've asked a hard one. I only have opponents goal times back to the start of 1984-5, so it will have to be only as far back as then I'm afraid. But hey, what;'s the alternative? What Strictly Come Dancing?!?!

Will have a go and get back to you.

Am I wrong in thinking we did something similar with Keith Scott at Peterborough?

Coming back from 2 goals down to win 3-1 does'nt happen often!

Right, I have no idea whether this list is correct, espeically given my last performance in what should have been a simple quiery to work out our record v Colin, but here goes:

Since the start of the 1984-85 season, I believe we have come back to win from 2 goals or more behind on 8 occasions. (I have a few games where I have missing oppos goal times, but they are generally against non-league opponents so we can probably safely ignore those anyway).

I suppose you want me to list these 8 games?

30-Oct-10 Doncaster Rovers (H) LCh W 4-3 after being 1-3 down
19-Aug-06 Middlesbrough (H) PL W 3-2 after being 0-2 down
17-Jan-06 West Brom Albion (H) FAC3r W 3-2 (aet) after being 0-2 down
02-May-92 Wigan Athletic (H) D3 W 3-2 after being 0-2 down
13-May-89 Chesterfield (A) D3 W 4-2 after being 0-2 down
17-Feb-87 Huddersfield (H) D2 W 3-2 after being 0-2 down
08-Apr-86 Wolves (A) D3 W 3-2 after being 0-2 down
21-Dec-85 Plymouth Argyle (H) W 4-3 after being 0-3 down

Just out of interest we have also come back to draw after being 2 goals behind on 13 occasiosn, as well as coming from 3 goals behind to draw twice, (11/10/97 Crewe (H) and bizarrely 11/10/86 Sheff Utd (A)).

Phew, I'm going for a lie down ......

[Maguire]

Cheers - forgot about the WBA game. Really enjoyed that one although I forget WBA's first goal (I know Chaplow got the second). Was it the same guy? Only remember a back post volley followed by tap in?

13-May-89 Chesterfield (A) D3 W 4-2 after being 0-2 down

I was there, Lee Payne was the star. It was a real relegation battle. loser went down.

Happy days

Nathan Ellington scored the second one if I remember, after a fairly good save by Stack fell to him.

Not quite. Missed Wolves away in 86 but, to be fair, it was a school night.


Some vague memory tells me we were 2 down when we won at Chesterfield in 85/86 as well? Can anyone confirm?

Remember the Wigan one, 0-2 at half-time, didnt Francis also get injuryed and an outfield player go in Goal

[Barry the bird boggler]

Trevor Senior - last game for us as well as I recall. Was chaired off the pitch afterwards.

Have you got the times of our 3 goals scored away at Sheff Utd when we drew 3-3 please?
