Tottenham vs Rovers from 1977/78 currently on by sport 2 (Sky channel 414). Sorry if this is a common thing and old news to people but I've never seen it before.

Was that the 9-0 defeat? If so I can't imagine a more embarrassing/depressing defeat, other than Mansfield, in all my time watching Rovers. It must be car crash TV watching a re-run of that game.

I remember watching this in my teens at the PBA club, Avonmouth.
Manager would have said....
Just a bad day at the office. Lol.

I'm watching Oxford v Wimbledon on sky and Oxford don't look any better than they did when we beat them and Wimbledon look terrible.
I really think we can finish top six this season.

Problem is though neither of those sides are likely to be top 6, annoyingly I think all the teams likely to be Play off contenders, Bolton etc, all won yesterday while we had a weekend off. Meanwhile, Locks & co don't even play for Wales until Tuesday, whoever decided U21 etc players can miss Saturday's games for a mid week International wants needs their heads examining!!

Which is amazing given that the majority on here thought we were relegation fodder six weeks in. One extreme or the other with Rovers fans  |

I suppose the various associations want their players with the coaches for a week or so to work on patterns of play, foster team spirit etc. |

You should have gone to bs3 like me and watched arsenal beat the teds, only as i walked out of the away end did someone said "fook me spurs won 9 nil, my heart sank as i walked back along coronation road, and yeah like a car crash i watched motd in great pain. |

My dad told me if it wasn't for Martin Thomas in goal it would have been even worse. Before I started watching but I've seen a few heavy defeats in my time.

Paul Randall missed that game, He made a lot of teams wary, Bobby Gould only had to put the into the box and Randall would do the rest.

What's been Rovers biggest defeat in recent years? I can't remember to many really heavy defeats while watching.
I can remember a 4-0 home defeat to Grimsby on a cold Tuesday night, but can't remember a 5 or 6.

Colin Lee, if my memory serves me. Came from Torquay. It was his debut and he scored 4!! |

I can remember getting beat 6-2 by Sheff Wednesday a few years ago. Must've been over 1000 gasheads there and Will Hoskins gave us an early lead. Thought it was going to be a great day at that point but we were 4-1 down at half time. Seem to remember Hoskins scoring a screamer in the second half that day as well.

Shows how far we've come in recent years when you look at the bench that day. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9254937.stm |

I can remember a 4-0 home defeat to Grimsby on a cold Tuesday night, but can't remember a 5 or 6. Not that recent but we lost 5-1 at Wolves on Andy Tilson's debut, saw Paul Walsh rip us apart at Fratton Park in a 4-0 loss (although it was Guy Whittingham who scored, Walsh was the tormentor). |

Just had a quick look at my Rovers history book, 6-1 at Walsall in the same season as Sheffield Weds seems to be the biggest margin, several 4 goal differences over the years.
