4-3 away defeat against Charlton at the Valley in the late 70s. Came back from 2-0 down to be leading 3-2 and then went onto lose. Great atmosphere and exciting game.

Without derailing the thread, i know there was a load of trouble between us and Everton as years later in the 90's when i lived up there, loads of my Evertonian mates disliked or even feared our fans. But what went on?
That was a great game. I was in the Everton end, celebrating like a looney whenever we scored. I got some dirty looks from assorted scousers but, as I was with a massive bunch of Everton supporters, I escaped unscathed.
The other one I remember was a 2-1 defeat at West Ham. Micky Small scored for us but the Hammers won it at the end with an excellent goal. We lost but it was a cracking game.

I think we did that 2 years running at West Ham, took the lead , played well and lost 2-1!

The 5-4 defeat away at Sheffield Utd in 1989. An old boy outside told us it was the best game he had seen since 1935, although his side did win.

Aston Villa away first away game in the top flight , lost 2-1 on a Wednesday night , but we put in a really good performance and deserved at least a point against a very good Villa side , so much better than the previous game where we lost the opener to Arsenal
Shrewsbury 3- Albion 0 after we had had secured the championship. Albeit I felt a bit cheated to find later our players had been on the piss before the game.
The 9 men Burnley game was good.
Liverpool 0-1 at Anfield when we first went up. Horton laying injured when they scored.
Wolves 2-3 when Lawrenson scores ‘that’ goal. Steve Daley was brilliant for Wolves.
Finally, the Man Utd 0-1, a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was brilliant.

This would have been my choice too.
3-0 down, then coming back to lead 4-3, only to lose 5-4 in the last minute !

I really enjoyed the 1-5 against Liverpool. The attacking flair they showed was as good as any I’ve seen against the Albion. I quite like a manager who sets out to score more than the opposition. Obviously you need the forwards and creative players capable of playing like this. You won’t ever be bored following Klopp’s Liverpool.

My best defeat was in the first season in the old div 2 when we lost 6-4 to Middlesborough with the fabulous Brian Clough in full war cry,what an exciting game

For sheer GALLOWS humour, probably the 5-1 defeat to Stoke at Withdean at the end of the 2005-06 season. The Albion players were clearly already on the beach and didn't give a shit. So in the end neither did H Block. We were singing Rooney! Rooney! when the Stoke lad got his hat-trick, we berated the linesman for a Stoke disallowed goal (we were chanting We Want Six! at the time). Icing on the cake was when Doug Loft came on as a late sub, scored with a pitiful daisy-cutter and promptly got awarded Man Of The Match. My how we chuckled
That was the one that sprang to mind for me. The best example of gallows humour at a football match.
