Following on from our traumatic result yesterday, throwing away a 2 goal lead against 1 of 2 teams I hate most on the planet will probably haunt me for a little while longer than most.

 

But what is your game that you remember most where we have threw away a lead or got beaten by a team we shouldn't have?

 

Can anyone top the 10 minute 3 goal meltdown away to Rotherham for example? 

 

Let's hear them! 

You get an extra 50 points if you can recall us getting promoted in the same season (to give me hope ?)

Do we really want to re live such painful memories?

Yes. In therapy you must face the root of trauma in order to conquer it. 

No more nightmares, no more wetting the bed,

 

It's good to talk.

I’m sure the mighty Posh did us 2-3 after we’d been 2-0 up around 2011?

Can’t remember if it was home or away as I didn’t go?

 

Another one was v Colin’s QPR at PP when they scored 2 in injury time to get a draw, that was sickener.

Game we should have won?

May 2014, Wembley v QPR.

That one game would have changed everything.

Don't think you can really beat that one. Maybe the oldies can when everything was in black and white, the balls weighed 2 ton and Coventry's pitch would be seen as a bowling green.

Two nil up at Blackburn in 15 mins in the play off semis and losing 4-2.

Only a one nil lead v Leicester at Wembley but awful ending.

QPR and Birmingham at Pride Park in recent years. 2-0 up to 2-2 both in added time. 

Unlike yesterdays opponent, both teams were never in the game in the 90 mins, just absolutely did us in added time. I swear 5 mins added time ended up being about 9 mins in both games too. Pain.

Didnt we give away a 3-0 lead at home to Dirty Leeds? Hubby mentioned he remembered that as far worse yesterday. And as someone mentioned yes we were winning 2-0 away at "posh", hubby insisted we change to better seats at half time and we lost - I never bring that up!

It was away at Leeds

Leeds away 3 - 0 HT, 5 -0 FT 1974/1975 left at half time for had a wedding reception to attend that night, and Derby was never at the races,  only time left early.

Lorry driver mate at the time was in London overnight, went to the Spurs v Derby cup replay, losing 3 - 1 with about 10 mins to go, left early next morning his landlady said you did well last night, controling his rage he left for his journey home, stopped at a transport cafe, bought a paper saw Derby had won 5 - 3 in extra time with Roger Davies scoring 3, did he get some stick in the pub.

Thanks. That is the sole reason I never relax until final whistle whatever the score.

I don't see this thread as being remotely helpful.

Why don't you start a thread with do you remember the game when we were 2 goals down with ten minutes left to prove that the converse can also happen. 

If the players and manager allow yesterday's result to define their season then that's criminal.

Went to this and was quite annoyed at the end ?

It would be even more criminal if a thread of an internet forum helped define their season.

Weirdly it's that Birmingham one for me as well, more so than some of the play off ones... The ref was awful all game and it just felt like he was going to play on until Birmingham equalised... 4 mins injury time did indeed become about 9 mins...
