They'd be in mine too.
Boro when they beat us 3-1. Just got back into it and Kilbane gifted them a third.
Getting stuffed at home to Lincoln when Maguire scored a hat-trick was particularly bad.

A 0-1 against Boro stands out in 94/95 under Mick Buxton. We were deep in the relegation mire and it felt like we spent most of the game hitting balls over Craig Russell's head for Vickers and Pearson to clear. Jamie Pollock got the only goal. Hard to see any positives from that evening.
Getting humped off Leicester U21s in the Pizza Cup (or whatever it was called at the time) wasn't great either.
A 0-0 against Sheff United at the end of the 105 point season was something of a let-down, given all that came before.
And a personal 'favourite': FA Cup 4th round vs Birmingham in about 1984. Leading until the last few minutes, then gave away what felt like two identical goals from free kicks. Martin Kuhl's name sticks in my mind for some reason.

It was February 1989. For context Walsall had not won in 22 games in all competitions since beating us 2-0 at Fellows Park in the reverse fixture the previous October and were on the back of a 7-0 home defeat to Chelsea in their previous match and were hurtling towards relegation. I don't think we had lost at home in the league all season up to that point but, almost predictably, succumbed to a 3-0 defeat courtesy of Stuart Rimmer's hattrick. A truly awful afternoon and definitely up there with the worst home game I've witnessed and, believe me, there have been plenty.

Went to 3,4,5 of and they were all bad.
An honourable mention to Millwall semi final 2004 (fuck me 20 years ago next week
)I remember an absolute shocker around 2010 when the only thing that happened all game was whitehead should have got a straight red for a kick

Are you referring to the Palace game where Bolase scored a hat trick? That wasn't 4-0 at half time.

Always remember that one because outside after the third went in some mentalist was snapping him and his kids season card and then just for added effect stamped on them a few times
Keanes last game at home to Bolton when Gordon almost single handedly cost us 4 goals.
I know he was decent sometimes but people forget he also had a fair amount of abysmal games

Sunderland 1-2 Doncaster. Horrific match with huge crowd following Defoe re-signing and massive speculation that Keane was going to be there. Probably for anticipation against reality it is the worst game I have ever been to.

Nah, not the Palace one. Bolase scored a hat trick in about 10 minutes in the second half. Was still vile mind.

Certain Lineker got a hat trick that day.
We were dreadful.

The most fantastic and at the same time, horrific game...Gillingham play off 1987. Dramatic, astonishing match, absolutely gutting, I felt rung out and numb afterwards, couldn't take it in

Recalling any Mag home defeat is too painful.
The Charlton one where we scored all 3 of their goals for them was particularly embarrassing.
