When was the last time we won 4-0 away from home in the league?

Yes.

Google is your friend

Didn't we win 4-0 at Watford a few years back? I really could have just made that up. We did our usual job on Leeds live on Sky once up there I think. And then, going back to my first season watching the City I think I remember us thumping Sunderland up there in 1970. Just my own possibly incorrect personal. memories

We did. Adam Matthews scored a long range effort

Mention of that Peterborough match should be banned on this forum.

Excellent work. Yes, all of those were 4-0 away wins (Sunderland was Feb 1971 but close enough for jazz).

Here's the list of wins of 4 goals and more away from home, conceding 0.

28 Sep 1946 Brighton and Hove Albion A W 4-0
12 Oct 1946 Port Vale A W 4-0
19 Dec 1959 Liverpool A W 4-0
9 Nov 1963 Newcastle United A W 4-0
13 Feb 1971 Sunderland A W 4-0
5 Sep 1982 Millwall A W 4-0
14 Dec 1985 Lincoln City A W 4-0
13 Mar 2001 Shrewsbury Town A W 4-0
29 Nov 2002 Queens Park Rangers A W 4-0
8 Apr 2003 Wycombe Wanderers A W 4-0
3 Oct 2009 Watford A W 4-0
26 Jan 2010 Bristol City A W 6-0
25 Oct 2010 Leeds United A W 4-0
1 May 2021 Birmingham City A W 4-0

Amazingly we've never won 5-0 away.

If you're interested in all the times we've scored 5 or more away from home, here goes:

28 Aug 1920 Stockport County A W 5-2 (in our first ever league game)
30 Mar 1923 Burnley A W 5-1
29 Sep 1962 Preston North End A W 6-2
31 Oct 1962 Southampton A W 5-3
1 Sep 1965 Derby County A W 5-1
7 Dec 1968 Fulham A W 5-1
11 Nov 1989 Fulham A W 5-2
12 Apr 1994 Brighton and Hove Albion A W 5-3
27 Jan 2001 Macclesfield Town A W 5-2
16 Mar 2002 Oldham Athletic A W 7-1
11 Sep 2002 Boston United A W 5-1
26 Jan 2010 Bristol City A W 6-0

I think it's quite amazing that we've only ever once kept a clean sheet away from home when we've scored 5 or more.

If you were to draw a grid of 25 squares with goals for on one axis, and goals against on the other (up to 4 in each direction) and then put a tick in each box where we have had that result against a given team in home or away matches (so one grid per club we've played against)

1) have we ever completed our bingo card;
2) whose bingo card would have been filled first;
3) how many bingo cards have we filled;
4) have we completed a 36 square bingo card (ie 5 goals each side)

Thank you

1) No
2) n/a
3) None
4) No

I'm sure we would have filled quite a few 16 square grids, but the biggest problem is scoring or conceding 4. Take wins - we've beaten Millwall 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 and drawn 4-4, but not won 4-3. We've failed to record a 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers despite a 4-4 and wins of 4-0, 4-1 and 4-3. Carlisle have been beaten 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 but there's no 4-4 draw.

Without much more time to look over these, I reckon that the most complete bingo card would be at least 4 or 5 squares short of completion, but I will have a look another time.

Actually, it was pretty easy to sort through.

Burnley are the closest side to completing the bingo card. We're short of 4-2 and 4-3 wins and a 4-4 draw.

Coventry City, Fulham, Leicester City, Luton Town, Manchester City, Sheffield United and Watford have 20 squares complete.

Burnley, Coventry City, Preston North End, Reading, Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion have all completed their 16 square card.

A couple of years later we were there again 3-2 up with only ten minutes to go and lost 4-3 🤦*♂️

Yeah I was at both of those. Talk about extremes of emotion as a City supporter!.

Major Blue drove a few of us to the p'boro game. We got delayed in heavy traffic and arrived about 40 mins late - just as Jay was smashing in our third or fourth. Then the disaster of the second half, and then MB's windscreen smashed on the way home. I think he's only just recovered from the trauma! :hehe:

It was a bloody awful season. After a few near misses, Bellamy joins us, we're one of the favourites for automatic promotion. We have a dismal November and December. Form remained inconsistent until we won 5 from 6 in April, then blew promotion with a feeble home loss to Middlesbrough. After drawing the last game and asked why we didn't go for it against Burnley, Dave Jones said perhaps the club wanted to finish 4th to avoid Nottingham Forest in the playoffs. After a decent 0-0 in the away leg, once again we lost 3-0 at home.

I remember many suggesting that Craig Bellamy carried that side towards the end of the season and when he went off injured in the playoffs, we all abandoned hope. I think that was the season TOBW used the phrase "flat track bullies" to describe us and he wasn't wrong. Capable of hammering teams, also capable of playing some absolute shite and being well beaten. Jones had had his chances to get us up, he'd had money that season as well and could hardly complain about being sacked.

To top it all, Swansea coasted past Reading in the playoff final.
