May68 made a good point of mentioning how angry he was at those two games in a week against the Vile, but it got me to thinking about what mine were and it's something I think might make for some interesting retrospective on then and now.
If I were to choose one game specifically from recent memory
other than the games against Villa, it'd be our absolutely shocking last 10-15 mins against Reading away 12/13 season. How we didn't win there by a margin of 4 goals or more was staggering, but nowhere near as staggering as how slack the defending was to piss the 3 points right up the wall. We dominated the stats in that game and still snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
This game marked the start of the decline of Jonas Olsson for me and I'm glad there's some new faces in at the club to move him down the pecking order.
The highlights (if you can call them that!) can be seen
here for anyone brave enough to re-live that game again.

That one was bad, but the way we shambled to defeat on Astle Day was something even more extraordinary.

"Angry"....that's a good word.
I can't remember being as "angry" as I was for the 2 Villa games. I've been sad, disappointed, suicidal, etc over the years, but "angry" definitely sums up those 2 games in 4 days.
But..........OTHER than the games against Villa........I'd say the QPR and Leicester Home games a few weeks later got me almost as angry.
I could have crushed a grape.

I just hope my most angry time is not about to be surpassed in the coming next week, where in a worst case scenario, we lose to the Vile on Saturday and the Bluenoses beat them four days later. Our lives would not be worth living as we would catch it from all sides, I am already cutting holes in a big brown paper bag so I can go out, just in case.

4evabaggie,
Me too ! Was it Bradley who scored our 2nd and everybody booed they were so livid !
As well as Woking played it was a dark dark day in our history.
Makes me mad still ! But have a soft spot for Woking ever since.

Not a recent memory but, losing 1-5 at home to Nottm Forest when I had finally persuaded my non Albion supporter friends to come along and watch us play.
We even scored first through Gary Owen.
It's not as if we were under strength either with Godden, Batson, Wile, Robertson, Statham, Robson, Brown, Owen, Barnes and David Mills all playing.
Cunningham had gone and so during the next season did Atkinson, Robson and Moses.
I have never forgotten that drubbing.
Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.

Twerton Park probably just shades it over Halifax. At least at the Woklng debacle we could be proud of the fans.
