I'm trying to tell myself that it's been worse and we have bounced back before. But I'm struggling to think of too many more embarrassing performances.
In no particular order, here are the five I've come up with. Anyone got any others they would suggest?
1995: 0-9 away vs Man Utd. The biggest defeat every, in the history of man.
1963: 1-10 away vs Fulham. I wasn't alive then, but it must have been terrible.
2011: 1-5 home vs Budgies. Two or three budgie fans I know say they'll never attend a derby at our place again because it will never get better than this.
2009: 0-4 home vs Newcastle. The game pays tribute to the recently departed Sir Bobby, we unveil the stand in his name, I'm surrounding by my family at a big reunion and insist we watch, the team doesn't turn up.
2017: 0-1 away vs Lincoln. National television, non league team, abject performance... |  |

The 3-0 Sheff Wed home defeat under Hutchings (to make sure he had no chance of taking over) where the players basically played to lose, bottom of the league, with a hostile North Stand wasn't good - I reckon that's my worst (2012?).
Can't remember too many awful games before (even under Mick McGiven).
Games like Palace away losing 5-0 weren't that bad - it just seemed that every shot the other team had went in.
Oh yeah - I forgot Peterborough away. [Post edited 18 Jan 2017 15:32]

That was a very strange game. Liverpool took the lead with a fluked deflection, Sixto almost equalised. After Liverpool got a 2nd, they then scored with what seemed 4 breakaways. However, the game seemed to ruin the confidence of what had been a resurgent Town & the really bad performance was 2 weeks later when we lost 3-1 at home to Southampton when we made Gordon Marsden look like Maradonna. |  |

I'd say the 0-3 to Southampton - featuring Lionel 'Chris Marsden' Messi - was equally bad, if not worse. |  |

Although I absolutely love the man I have to say it was Southampton at home under Magilton. |  |

Maybe that you've seen, and because it was televised? I think had it not been on the box it would be almost mythically bad.
Posh away, Burnley away where alb played like zoff with adhd and still conceded 4 or going to hull and the only positive being a Luke hyam slide tackle spring to mind. A side that didn't even look arsed or struck by the result is hard to shake. |  |

I remember Carlton Palmer (Yes Carlton Palmer) going past a few players and slotting home in front of the North Stand.
You know its bad when a donkey looks like an elegant gazelle. |  | | |

WAs 3-1 I think - Pablo forced a somewhat dubious goal over the line. | |

That I've watched...
Last night.
Fulham on Boxing Day.
Losing to Reading 2-0 in the 00s at home under Jim.
Losing to Reading 5-1 last season.
Drawing 1-1 at home to Torquay in the Coca Cola cup (that we then went on to beat ManU and nearly beat Chelsea).
I have to say, even the thrashings at P'boro and Norwich didn't feel as bad as last night. At least we can justify we scored one, had players sent off and got caught on the break rather than being complete dominated in those games. We still looked like we might score throughout.
It's the games we look utterly hopeless in that really kill me performance wise. Sadly two have been this season. |  |

Port Vale 5 Ipswich 0.....New years day 1990.....Hung over, pouring with rain, traffic chaos. Only good memory is doing the conga up and down the open terrace. I have since heard that some of the players were also out on the piss the night before, hence the woeful display! |  | | |

That was awful.
The players were utterly embarrassed by it though as I had tickets to the players lounge fir quite a few games that year but that night not a single one of them came up. |  |

How about the 9-1 against Stoke. Weren't Stoke newly promoted at the time? |  |

Wimbledon when they beat us 5-1 at home with Andy 'Pandy' Marshall in goal for us was a bit of a low point. |  | | |
