At a guess, vs Bristol Rovers, 2003?
Aye. Good call.I was just about to wind up into a "we never scored 5 under O'Driscoll" rant.
Dutch or TRB will know, but I'm wondering if I saw our biggest ever away win. 6-0 at Hartlepool in 1989. Have we ever bettered that?
Wasn't there a 5-1 in an early round of the league cup or paint pot not too long ago, vs Bradford, or Lincoln or someone like that..?
Ah, but we didn't win by 4 in either of those fixtures so that leaves half the question unanswered.
That Hartlepool match was surreal. We were absolute shite that season. I think we only scored 2 or three goals in the first dozen games that year, barring that match. But everything worked that day. Fourth or fifth goal was by Les Robinson. He ran into the box off the ball from the halfway line and for 20 yards was pointing to the exact place he wanted the ball playing I between the two centre halfs and screaming at Steve Gaughan to play the pass. Which he did. Perfectly. And Robinson hammered it in. Either side of that match, we couldn't hit a five yard pass on target in the warm up. But that day was like football perfection.
