Sheff Saint Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Saint Posted 3 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 3 November, 2008 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.

Perhaps this is an avenue that should be explored again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 Norwich is correct Steve. Although a slight inaccuracy in my comment as we were 3-1 down, not 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 Weren't we 3-0 down at home to Liverpool once at the Dell and came back to draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickmick Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 So no one has come up with an away game when Saints went 2-0 (not 3-1) down and came back to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And I reckon it could be 20 years. It's been 15 for defo. Good being a Saints fan isn't it!! I actually AQA'd this yesterday and they didn't know either.

Sheff Saint Posted 3 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 3 November, 2008 On the flip side, how many 2-0 leads have we thrown away? Well, 3-0 leads thrown away, Tranmere and Leeds to name but two in recent years. I hope these things even themselves out over time cos if so we are due for some cracking games soon!

Chorlton Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 I am not 100%, but I think we won 3-2 away at Cov in 8788 from 2-0 down. Apart from the 5-4 at Norwich (from 3-1 down), I can't recall us doing this any other time since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ron fan Posted 4 November, 2008 Share Posted 4 November, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
