For most of the club's history, we haven't been good enough to be truly humiliated so this must rank up there. Given our recent trophies and unbeaten run, to suffer a home defeat to a team most would probably not have heard of before the draw and who would be hard pressed to be considered a top 200 club in the world is pretty damning
Given that it was not our best starting line-up, we at least tried and that it does not mean we are out of the competition I would say not, but it is a bit hard to think of alternative options. It wasn't 9-0, but then that was away to the best team in the league.
The ones that I attended that sting particularly were a 4-1 home defeat to Chesterfield where we played abjectly and a 3-0(?) away loss to Brighton where one of their goals came directly from a corner to us. But at least they were teams of comparable standing
Have we ever been turned over by a non-league side in the FA Cup or suffered a similar upset?
