Couldn't find the answer anywhere to this, apologies if i've missed it.

 

Before the weekend, when was the last time we were 2-0 down away from home and won?

 

I know we went from 1994 (3-1 v Coventry) to 2006 (3-2 v Burnley) until we won after conceeding first away from home.

 

Also, when was the last time we came from 2-0 down in any game to win?

In the 90's at the Dell i think we beat Chelsea 3-2 but were we 2-0 down?

We came back from 2 - 0 down to win 3-2 against blackburn, when were looking to move to St Mary's

 

I remember it well , I took a number 20/30 members of the local St Mary's asian community to the game as part of a pr exercise. There was a perception that saints fans were a bunch of hoolies and would terrify the local

population if we moved there.

 

They thouroughly enjoyed the game and were cheering saints on as loudly as I was by the end of the game. They enjoyed their day out , curtesey of the club and dare I say it Mr Lowe

 

That'll be when Mark Hughes scored a rare but crucial goal. The 'Great Escape' season! Great games at the end, great games.

 

The 5-4 Norwich game, i think we we're 1-0 down but came back to 1-1 before falling 3-1 behind, so i suppose we did come from two down, but didn't concede the first two.

Last time we won when 2-0 down in any game was against Fulham in October 2002 when we won 4-2 (Beattie hat-trick + Ormerod).

 

Last time we won when 2-0 down away from home, I think, was the epic 5-4 win at Norwich in April 1994!

 

Norwich is correct Steve.

I have to say you don't see too many from the local asian community at games at SMS. Perhaps this is an avenue that should be explored again?

I don't remember a 3-2 comeback but the game you're talking about was one that finished 3-3. We were 1-0 and 3-1 down but didn't win, so i guess that's pretty irrelevant

Weren't we 3-0 down at home to Liverpool once at the Dell and came back to draw?

 

If your going that far back, how about Coventry game when we were 4 v 2 down, came back to go 5 v 4 ahead only for Mark Hatley i believe, to make it 5 V 5.

Also recall being 3 v 0 down at half time against Ipswich, then we went on to win 4 v 3. That was in the Channon era.

The Coventry game in the mid to late eighties was the last away '0-2 then victory' I can remember. We hadn't won there for about 35 years at the time, either.

 

The Ipswich home game early in 81/82 was 1-3 at half-time and finished 4-3 after perhaps one of the best halves of football I've seen from a Saints side. Dave Armstrong got two if I remember correctly.

Tottenham H 1978-79 season 3-0 up at half time,drew 3-3 aand Tottenham hit the post near the end too!

 

remember that one. Not too dissimilar to last Saturday. we were rather lucky to be 3 up, having had 2 pens as I recall , and the game being played in bad conditions I think.

Hmmmm, Kevin Gibbens; now playing for the mighty VTFC in the Wessex League..

i knew him when i was a teenager and when he was playing for saints..

 

the club had high hopes for him and he did get a place in the team for a few matches...but it all went to his head and he ****ed all his money (and opportunities) up the wall..

 

shame..

I think the Tranmere game might well have been his last appearance for Saints.

 

I remember seeing him in such dives as Jumpin' Jaks on a Friday night quite often, which sums it up I spose.
