Most deflated you've felt after a match

[Nick Shorey my Lord!]

Ignoring the obvious:

06 January 1998 - Qrt finals of the league cup against Boro and THAT goal. Even though they'd pretty much spanked us, I came out of that one absolutely gutted.

Same season, 26 April 1998 away for Forest http://www.royals.org/matdoc/260498.html. A rare televised game for us and had Brayson's shot gone in it might have been a different story. It didn't of course, they won 1-0 and we were down. Utterly deflated.
