Famous Town Uses Of The Same Script 15:01 - Jan 8 with 1025 views | Asa | Seeing that Hirst goal again at Barnsley, where we scored two goals in a minute to go 2-0 up at Oakwell in a massive promotion clash reminded me of 2000 when we ... well ... scored two goals in a minute at Oakwell to go 2-0 up at Oakwell in a massive promotion clash. So what other Town moments have happened in spookily similar circumstances? A near 100 goal and 100 point promotion in what proved to be a relentless three horse race with near record points tallies for one. A vital last gasp goal against Southampton is a bit tenuous but could just about count, albeit similar circumstances. A 1-0 cup win over the Arsenal in a match we were billed as underdogs? Marlon Harewood missing a sitter the week after missing a sitter? |  | | |  |

Famous Town Uses Of The Same Script on 18:45 - Jan 8 with 685 views | gainsboroughblue | Suffering 3-4 defeats in consecutive weeks after leading. 1985-86. Letting two two goal leads slip in the same match against Charlton. 1990 and 2022. Substitute goalkeeper being used in final match of the season 2022-23 and 2023-24. Two matches abandoned at Maine Road due to waterlogged pitch. 1994 and 2000. One was a cup tie though I think. |  |

4-4 draws with Charlton Athletic. Very rare result and we've had two against the same team. Also had a weird record at one stage of 7 playoff appearances being Sheffield United, Charlton twice, Bolton twice and West Ham twice, before we added Norwich to the list. |  | |  |
