For me, 26th December 1989 V Wimbledon at Plough Lane.....lost 3-1.....woeful beyond belief.
Travelled back from ooop north early that morning to witness a performance that was without doubt the most disgraceful 90 minutes from a Charlton side I have seen in my 60 years of support.
Never seen a team so disinterested or apathetic in all my life, be it Charlton or anyone else come to that. Wimbledon weren't that much better either and didn't have to do much to score their 3 goals if I remember rightly. Still makes me wince in pain some 28 years later whenever I think of it!
What made it worse is that I could have (and indeed should have), stayed an extra day at my sisters with the rest of the family.

special mentions also go to:
0-4 at home to Brighton. Large Addick came in 10 mins late & when he sat down I turned to him & said "we're going to get tonked tonite - we're awful"
0-4 away to Millwall - Solly at left back ffs !
But saying that, the most depressed I've ever been after a Charlton match was the 5-0 Watford defeat the season before, that was truly awful.
I can't think of anything of the top of my head that matches that, though I'm sure there must have been some shockers in the Pardew/Parky relegation season (the 5-2 Sheffield United match for example)
Charlton 0-1 Bristol City a few years ago was one of worst matches i've ever seen, 2 terrible sides.
The first half of Charlton 2-3 Norwich was dire as well.
Can't forget the infamous defeat to Northwich Victoria, Randolph kept the score only being 1-0. To a non league side. Non league.
Also shef united in Cup Powells last game, but we all know the circumstances over that one.
A couple of away matches to Fulham have been pretty shoddy too.
Edit: also forgot the away 5-0 to Watford. That was the first time I realised our club was being destroyed by our owners. The Chantelle of we want our Charlton back at the final whistle was very sobering I recall. I remember thinking 'we really are in the shit'.
Sheffield and Hull.
Although the last couple of years in the premiership saw teams go through our defence like a knife through butter.
I seem to recall Man United beating us 4-0 at The Valley when we could easily have been done 7 or 8-0.
Colchester under freye
1-6 at home to Leeds
4-1 at Everton. @Clem_Snide and I left 5 mins in to the 2nd half.
Charlton 0-3 Preston 2015 most left backs on a pitch I've ever seen.
Middlesbrough 2-0 Charlton 2006
Charlton 0-1 Wycombe 2006
Charlton 2-5 shef Utd 2008
Charlton 1-3 Barnsley 2008
Hull 6-0 Charlton 2016
Hudds 5-0 Charlton 2016
Watford 5-0 Charlton. 2015
I bought three tickets for that game and then on the morning of match told my daughters not to bother coming and to do something enjoyable instead. Good call.
4-0 defeat at Millwall was really bad... the 6-1 scoreline against Leeds was awful but dont really remember the performance
We'll have to have individual performance threads for players based on this type of question next
Colchester was abysmal...all 11 players had the worst game of their lives.
Post Selhurst 1-6 home to Leeds
Burnley (pardew) Doncaster/MK Dons/Blackpool(Pardew), Forest (Pardew/Hasselbaink) Northwich/Huddersfield/Yeovil/Wycombe/Walsall/Sheff U (Pardew), Sheff U and Reading (Less Read)
That 4-0 at millwall was the most depressing game I have ever experienced
The hammering at spurs under Les Reed deserves a special mention, that was completely inept
