What's your worst ever Argyle performance?

[Joe Totale]

I'm surprised it's not been mentioned yet but the 4-0 loss away at Brighton in 2011 on a Tuesday night.
We'd gone into administration the day before and the players looked defeated before a ball was kicked.
I've never seen us outplayed so badly, well I think so anyway, I mean you can only see about half the pitch from the away end at that horrible Withdean Stadium!

Only bright spot was the kind words and empathy from the Brighton fans and the tannoy operator.

That Stourbridge loss was also horrible.

Going to the Withdean was such an odd experience, so odd that you're almost glad you did it, but definitely odd.

 

[Dorset Green]

Yes, Stourbridge was awful, but have you all erased Dorchester from your minds? By far the worst I have ever seen an Argyle side play. We were poor even before Hourihane was sent off, but once he went off we were made to look like part-timers by a team of... well, part-timers. Even an Exeter loanee scored for them.

The worst I've felt after a game would definitely be the Wimbledon playoff final. If we get back to one of those again I'm not sure I'd go.

Yes the Dorchester game would be my choice, a totally dismal performance only compensated by the fact that I only had a 8 mile journey home.

 

[Cobi Budge]

I doubt it would have changed the outcome but Hourihane's sending off at Dorchester is still one of the most ridiculous refereeing decisions I've seen, a real 'look at me I'm on TV' call.

0-5 v Rovers in the FA Cup, when they pulled Liverpool in the next round immediately after the game.

Carl Saunders hat-trick.

Rovers played "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" on the tannoy system afterwards.

I was there for that, couldn't see anything of the game, only really knew about the goals when the Brighton fans "celebrated", it was the quietest stadium I've ever been to for a team that were running away at the top of the league.

 

[Tony Flags]

Kiddy away. 3 down at half time. Just into first Sturrock era.

 

[StroudGreen]

FA Cup defeat at Stourbridge was abject and embarrassing, but don’t recall being as angry as I was in the 5-2 defeat at Cheltenham which marked the end of Kevin Hodges reign, truly awful, 4 down at HT.

 

[Old Brown]

2010/11 Home in the FA Cup v Swindon 0-4. Seem to recall loanee (Dean Perrett?) getting sent off. We were so bad we were lucky to get 0.

 

[monkeywrench]

No where near the worst performance, but for sheer disappointment, Burnley in the playoff semi.

I think it was down to the way we'd played all season and getting a good 0-0 up there on the first leg.

We were so good that season. We were going up. Definitely.

Oh wait......

Was sooooo gutted.

Wembley 2016. :facepalm:

That was poo mate! A turgid uninspiring performance on the big stage.

Not our worst but given the occasion, it waa awful.

 

[Winchelsea Green]

The 5-0 at Twerton, which included a punch up between two frustrated Argyle fans standing behind me. Capped off a rubbish weekend as I’d seen my local non-leaguers Crawley beaten 6-1 at The Goldstone the day before.

 

[Fergy]

The 1-0 defeat against Southend at the beginning of the 2013/14 season (I think) was really turgid. We conceded after about 7 minutes and, quite literally, nothing happened for the remainder of the game. Watching Andre Blackman trying to play football was a spectacle too. At least the coach up was free.

 

[German Shepherd]

York 2 Argyle 0, under Sheridan, we were horrifically bad and it was such an anticlimax considering we'd beaten Exeter a couple of days before. York were also on some ridiculous losing streak at home prior to the game.

Another vote for this match. Argyle were absolutely shocking. League survival was at stake & there seemed no fight.

I trudged out the ground convinced Argyle were gonna be a non league club at the end of the season.

Hold the back page on that !!!!...does watching on ifollow count ?
