Am pretty sure we beat palace 5-2 (though definitely wasn't recently mid 00's?)


That was 2002. We beat Blackburn 5-2 at BP in 1985. Prior to that they are few and far between except 1900-1901 when there was a glut

Incidentally, we have beaten both Man City and Man Utd 5-2 away from home. How many other sides can say that????

Admittedly it was some time ago. 1894 and 1929 respectively.

We do have a funny habit of clustering big wins together.

Beating Gateshead 6-1 away and then following up with a 7-0 home win against Alfreton two days later one August bank holiday wasn’t bad, nor was beating Mansfield 7-2 on New Year’s Day before hammering Histon 6-1 away again just a couple of days later. The latter was under Neil Woods no less - probably as good as it got for him.


Aye it certainly was. He got the boot about 6 weeks later!

That 5-2 v Palace in 2002 was something else. It was at the beginning of that Andy Todd inspired run which saw us pull away from the bottom of the league. Pouton was absolutely unstoppable that day.
My favourite 5-2 win though was an away one at Rochdale in 1979. It was my 21st birthday. Town went 2-0 down. The Rochdale "massive" were taking the p*ss and then Town moved up several gears..


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Anyone remember the 5-1 West brom game. The connections we had as well. I remember that season we felt like a team was gonna get a hiding pretty soon as we'd not really started firing.

Yes! I was in the Osmond for some reason, also remember the 5-2 against Palace was a classic and I think the 6-2 against Wimbledon was not long after!

We scored seven in the friendly against Japan just before the start of the season, but you're right we didn't score five in a game. We got four eight times and we scored three seven times. What a season it was, though
