2nd of February seen the mighty Boro suffer a heavy 5-1 defeat at Nottm Forest in this 2nd division clash
The Boro had been knocked out of the FAC 4th round 1-0 at John Neals 3rd division Wrexham a week previous & the 1st time that season we had lost 2 on the bounce, had we been found out, will we bounce back, the answer was a big resounding yes, Jack Charlton gathered his team, after following a goalless draw at home the Boro went out & battered all before them for the remainder of the season, apart from a few defeats after promotion was confirmed
The Boro drew the previous 4 away league games upto the Forest game, we won our last away game at Oxford 2-0 on the 10th November, maybe the Forest game was a big wake up call that although we looked formidable we had to impose ourselves away from home
Forest had 5 shots at goal & scored everyone, Alan Foggon scored our consolation goal
Big Jacks team

Willie Maddren
