I’m pleased we’re on a winning streak and it would be great to continue it, but I would be a lot happier(and not so stressed) if instead of winning by 1 goal margins with late winners, if we were absolutely battening teams, and handing out whoopings, you know the ones where you score four or five goals and feel invincible.
Can you remember the last time we gave a team a good whooping, and what your favourite was?
Barnsley 6 nil away has got to be up there for me.
And how do we get back to a situation of absolutely tonking teams, is it just having players back and a fully fit squad to choose from?

Don’t worry, once we can unleash a fully fit Igor on weary defences who have been tormented by the Grant/Taylor partnership for 70 mins I’m confident the thrashing’s will come!
Also, our system of that diamond midfield puts a bit of pressure on us down the wings when we defend. As much as I thought we were the deserved winners y’day, at 1-1 I was praying, just don’t lose it
I think bigger wins will come, just got to give the team time to gel properly
Makes work on Sunday tough when it takes an hour to sleep after a game
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the 90 minutes last
Kicking towards the covered end
Scoring goals and all is groovy
Hello horse, what cha knowing?
I've come to watch Lee Bowyers team growing
Kicking towards the covered end
Scoring goals and all is groovy.
Charlton 4 Man City 0
Top of the league (briefly).
Heady days.
I was convinced we were going up that evening
Both 1977 - Charlton 4 Spurs 1 & Charlton 4 Chelsea 0
Southampton had not long won the FA Cup and we ripped them a new one.
I was quite young back then but I remember Richie Bowman, (shortest bloke on the pitch), repeatedly out jump Mick Channon, (tall England international centre forward).
I think we had just knocked them out of the League Cup and Andy Nelson reckoned we were like death to them.
I really thought we were one of the best in the country and promotion was nailed on. But we never seemed to win away that year despite our fantastic home form.
Wasnt at Barnsley for the 6-0 drubbing.
Best I can think of was the 4-0 mauling of Man City at the start of the 2000-2001 season & beating Stockport (?) at home the previous season when Hunt scored a hat trick.
We just dont wallop teams. Dont know why. Over the years we've had decent strikers (Hales, Mendonca, Hunt, Bent, BWP) and some decent midfielders. Just dont score the 6's & 7's that every other club do at least once a season. We havd cup games against non league teams & we struggle. Even playing Welling we dont score hatfuls.
Yesterday was a case in point. Another team would have scored 5 or 6. Would have been out of sight by half time. Not us.
There's three or four "fives" mentioned on this thread already that I'm sure you must've seen....... and I'll raise it by the 5-0 tanking of Man City back in the Sellout days with your brother Jimmy Melrose scoring for us.
