For the Stat Fans ....Winning from 2-0 down.

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Apparently its the 1st time that we've done that Tonight from THAT game v Wimbledon in 1994.

Also the 1st time from being 2-0 down at half time since v Derby County in 1977.

Equally weird and down right shocking in fairness.

 

[toffeejack]

hmm, that's a bit appaling.

i suppose our excuse could be, "we don't go 2-0 down often" ... but that wouldn't be true.

the fact that this was AET and technically a draw means you could possibly scrap it as well.

 

[The Equaliser]

Interesting stat.

Under Smith we rarely came back from going behind which is what cost him his job in the end.

Under Moyes there was often only 1 goal in it and we didn't concede many so not surprising there either.

So maybe it's not all that strange when you think about it.

That's when I was born, during that game.

Just sent that one off to the whole family. Thanks for sharing!

I can imagine quite a few were conceived in the immediate aftermath of that Wimbledon game as well...

......and 1966 winning the FA Cup v Sheffield Wednesday..

probably yeah, the from 2 down in 90 minutes still remains, don't know what the situation is regarding games over 2 legs ?
if they are included in the same stat then extra time should count as well, it's not like it went to pens/lottery.

So how much did we bung the Barnsley keeper?

 

[evilwebby]

That's shocking, really.
Would be interested to see how often other teams have managed it... Plenty more than us, I would suspect.
