Leyton Orient 8-2 Droylsden

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/9260058.stm

Have you experienced such super comebacks yourselves? Sure, you have!

It has happened to me a couple of times.

The recent one while managing Vauxhall Motors.

We played against Bradford in FA Cup 1st Round and were 2 goals behind after 14 minites:

But the replay was much more thrilling, as we managed to claim an important victory after having conceded 3 goals (including 2 penalties) after 30 minutes:

Leyton Orient scored six times in extra time to come from 2-0 down and beat non-league Droylsden 8-2 in a match which ended nine a side.]

You're right, that is SOOOOO Football manager!!

i think i just had mine, i was 4-0 down at half time and won 6-4, they keeper got a knock and they kept him on, im sure it is why he was so poor in the 2nd half

Having a knock may influence player's perfomance? I thought that only chances for him to get a more seriuos injury got higher...

well think about it, they have a knock which is a potential leg injury, it then comes back that they have pulled a hamstring, it would obviously hinder their movements etc

I was gutted, as a Norwich fan, we were 1 minute away from hosting Droylsden, and probably a live TV date!!!

But if their keeper's knock was so seriuos thei manager would make a change as AI teams always havea sub keeper on the bench. How many SOTs did your team make managing score 6 goals? To have 6 SOTs in one half is quite rare, but I guess you had more.

Hosting Droylsden which are a Conference North team you might have a live TV date, hosting Leyton which are a League 1 team you won't?

Loving the Vauxhall Motors screenies!

I'm Stockport currently in league One, drew Norwich in the FA Cup 3rd round, who are upper Championship. At home i went 1 up then 2-1 down, but went all out and snatched a late equaliser. In the replay i was given no hope, but kept it tight and caught them on the break. The first two goals were lightning breaks after they were putting my goal under pressure.

Apologies for the quality. I posted the pic on fb from home and don't have the original with me at work

In the 2nd round I managed to beat Torquay scoring 3 time at the last 10 minutes:

Then I had a difficult match away against Blackpool which I was lucky to draw using a defensive tactic:

Blackpool also dominated during replay but my players demostrated good composure in front of their goal:

In the fourth round I had even more difficult test as I was playing away against Arsenal. I expected my team would lose but decided to give them a fight and chose an attacking formation with control strategy. The result was shocking as we were lucky again:

In the next round we had more luck as we managed to score on the 85th minute and Brighton missed a penalty several minutes later:

We were a better team during replay and won it despite missing a penalty:

In the 6th Round we beat Leeds:

... but lost Semi Final to the eventual champions Man City. I chose the same tactic that I used against Arsenal and we managed to score 3 times again but still were overplayed by the champions:

Moral: A comeback in one match can bring a lot of changes and lead you to the top!

awesome screenshot's bad luck losing to Man City though dude! (Y)

Thanks, mate! But I actually think we stll were lucky as we scored 3 times having made 4 SOTs out of only 5 shots! I wish I always had such scoring percentage as I really hate stats like these:

... or these:

I once beat Chester City 8-3 at home with Leigh RMI after being 3-0 down inside 15 minutes. It was many years back on something like CM4 so I have no screen of it.

I wish I always had such scoring percentage as I really hate stats like these:

Just be grateful you got the win!

It's all the more harrowing when you draw/lose those games and it costs you a title or knocks you out a cup.

Understand what you mean, but those are home league matches that's why I expect my team to win them. With so many shots scoring just once is so frustrating!

playing a game with arsenal against man city at the emirates.

man city take the lead, i bring it back to 1-1, at half time i'm losing 3-1, tell the team to do it for the fans and win the game 6-3. still in shock

Not with you being the home team. Had you been at home to Droylsden, you wouldn't have been on TV, I'm absolutely certain of that (there's a few other better for TV games that haven't been picked). If Droylsden were the home team, you'd have half a chance, but not with you being the home team.

Nice U-turn!

Just played an FA Trophy tie where my Woking team was 2-0 down away at Eastbourne Borough after 10 minutes, turned it around to win 6-2, managed to miss a penalty as well.

Yeah, the TV stations usually televise the lowest team left, especially if they are playing a biggish side (which I think we can class ourselves as), hense why our game away to Paulton Rovers last year was televised, everyone wants to see that big upset. Norwich v Orient is just a bit meh to non Norwich or Orient supporters.

It doesnt matter how far down I am whilst there is still time in the game to score I always give myself a chance to win
