Jordan Rhodes, a player that hadn't scored all season, with a first half hat trick against us. The fans could see that there was no fight in the team and streamed out.

The O’Driscoll sacking.

Forest were gradually making progress and you could see SOD’s methods starting to take proper shape and work. There was hope and a good feeling that we were building something with good foundations. A team with a work ethic and intelligence on the pitch.

Then the petulant man child Fawaz, threw it all away in an instance despite us beating Leeds 4-2. Destroying any hope that finally we would challenge at the right end of the table ever again. And what for? Because Ferguson recommended McLeish!

That day my 14 year old asked me why we bothered going, said his mates at school thought it was funny he went to watch Forest....

Relegation at QPR. It may have been inevitable but it was still shit.
Oldham away 5-0.
MK Dons away 1-0. Everything about that night was shite. I even filled my diesel car with petrol after the game whilst still in MK.

Burnley away 5-0.

MK Dons. Was that the Megson game at the hockey stadium? Perishing cold in the snow and we just gave it away.

Yes, that's pretty high on my list, too.

Some comedy / tragedy ones to thrown in the mix.

Watching the Yeovil play-off game in a pub in Leeds with loads of Forest fans. Going outside for a smoke and picking a fight with a boxer. I think only one of us had drank ten pints. Bumping into my ex and her new fella walking home. Waking up and realising my favourite t-shirt was torn nearly in half, covered in blood and I had a re-broken nose. Then remembering we lost.

Doncaster away, losing 1-0. Trying to climb over a wall to get at Doncaster fans. Someone pulled me down, but I got a massive cheer. Got home via a few trains and realised my AG jeans were torn. Remembered i’d borrowed my girlfriends little heart pants.

The West Ham game after Cloughie died. In the pub again. Someone nicked my jacket so I nicked one of there’s. When running downstairs I slipped and tore my ankle ligaments. Couldn’t walk for 3 months. Jacket was two sizes to small.

Losing or was it drawing to Bradford on the last game of a League One season. Pretty sure it didn’t matter in the end, but there was the possibility of us sneaking the play-offs after a seven game run.

Having a really good weekend in Berlin and getting a text message from my brother telling me that Gary phuqing Megson was the new Forest manager. Completely ruined the rest of my weekend. And I trod in a massive dog turd about an hour later.

Well there you go, stepping in dogshit was things picking up ....

On an emotional level it was Yeovil - it nearly broke me as I couldn't quite believe what was happening before my eyes.

The FA cup second round defeat by Chester, 3-0 under Megson of course was awful beyond belief but dishonourable mentions for defeat at Woking in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and defeat by the likes of Macclesfield, Colchester. The 3-0 loss to Derby in 2004 was dire but we dodged a bullet as it could have been even worse we were so poor. There was at least an upside to the 5-0 defeat by Derby in 2014 as it lanced the boil that was Billeh.

The 1971-72 season. Derby County win the first division title and we get relegated.
If there had been forums in those days can you imagine the meltdown?

Started following properly from early to mid-00's so I will go from there.

-The dismantling of Hart's playoff side and falling away so badly in 03/04
-The we're serious about promotion are you campaign then making about 2 summer signings
-Whole of 04/05
-Megson tenure
-Whole of 05/06 until Megson's sacking
-Losing 4-0 at home to Scunthorpe and 5-0 at Oldham in the regular 06/07 season
-Yeovil playoff debacle
-Not backing the manager from a position of strength yet again in January 2010, the only time Davies had a justified gripe
-Not even coming close/capitulating in the two Davies playoff campaigns
- Appointing Schteve McClaren
-Compounding the mistake by somehow appointing someone equally dire in Cotterill
-The death of Nigel Doughty
-The circus that was the Fawaz era
-Sacking O'Driscoll for McCleish
-Billy and his mates running us into the ground
-Transfer embargo era
-The Montainer/Warburton season
-Karanka being sacked, may not be a popular opinion but I think we would have finished in the playoffs that season had he stayed.
- The Stoke debacle and end of Lamouchi reign
-A full calender year of awful turgid football under Hughton

The entire period from O'Driscoll's sacking to Warburton joining was pretty miserable in nearly every way.

Club ownership was a mess. The constant chopping and changing of poor players and managers. Fans completely divided. All the failed takeovers. The reputation of the club took a real battering.

For me Chester away.

Chester and Wrexham are my 2 nearest ‘league or former league’ clubs and I’ve seen us lose to both.

Chester away was shite but its the FA Cup and that happens from time to time. Whereas the Yeovil playoff semi final was the biggest choke of all time by any football league club I would say or certainly feels like it.

When did you see Wrexham beat us??

Good list. But technically Karanka quit, even though I suppose there's theories that management issues over him forced the issue, it wasn't the club who chose to make that step.

He did mardy off at Boro in their promotion season for a bit and actually I think was technically quit for a game which they had a caretaker in, but they managed to reconcile the situation. Clearly EM was rightly not in the mood for such games.

Got to be the Yeovil play off collapse OR the collapse against Stoke at home to miss the play offs under Sabri. Both were a similar level of complete despair for me. There were many lows to be fair but those two were insane.

My lowest point was losing in that playoff semi final to Sheff Utd. I felt gutted for Des. Their lack of class made the experience even worse than it should have been.
