If he he doesn’t get to 15 before the end of the Norwich game, then the slate is wiped clean in time for the first leg of the POs. Is correct.

maqroll Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 10 in a row is an incredible achievement for these players and for the club. Its a testament to Dean and everyone at the club, really. Good times, great season, let's see this **** over the line this time. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 As mentioned in this thread, we've won 11 in a row at the end of the 1896-97 to the beginning of the 1897-98 season. However, we've done 11 on the bounce (league and cup) in 1914 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 To muddy the waters a bit, check out the 1887-88 season (the season before we invented the football league). 12 wins on the bounce, then followed by 17 wins! we only lost to Notts County because half of the team was away playing a county game (Birmingham vs Lancashire). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might as well be friendlies. I mean it's plausible that Lockwood Brothers are a team consisting entirely of siblings.

It's good we smashed Oxford University into next week, no "Rah Rah Rah, we're going to smash the oinks" that day. Not a good idea to play a football hooligan firm in the last game though. We probably only won one nil because they were all wearing knuckle dusters. I wonder what Victorian Sergio Tacchini clothing looked like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly dodgy database because we don't have the scores for the two matches agains Bye. Bit of a mystery team, this I've been looking for information about them on Google but no luck so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Out of interest - how many premier league teams do you think could beat 10 championship teams in a row? I think there'd be very few outside of the top 3 that wouldn't trip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there'd be very few outside of the top 3 that wouldn't trip up. I imagine there would be huge motivation issues for most PL teams having to face Championship ones. Also imagine they would rest their top players to not have them kicked to pieces and to be fit for important games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see we did a league double over small heath, and knocked them out of the cup for good measure, for an aggregate score of 10-0. l like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 Last 10 games. Look at how few shots on target we are reducing the opposition to! Also, we seem to be getting better!! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little's team were easier on the eye and more successful than Gregory's in my opinion. Otherwise, I would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2019 @Keyblade raised it elsewhere but what has been everyone’s favourite of these ten? I see the argument for Rotherham, it was the sort of game that other clubs seem to grind out on a regular basis despite things going against them, like Man Utd under Fergie (obviously the levels are different but the principle is the same). It also arguably had the best goal of this run in Jack’s winner. Of course the small heath game is memorably satisfying. The complete performance against Derby which started the run from almost out of nowhere has got to be a consideration. Part of me holds the Sheffield Wednesday game in the highest regard. Admittedly not the best performance, up against our former (unbeaten) manager, a bit of a grudge match, overturning a goal deficit, penalty save, last minute goal(s), but with the added craziness of results elsewhere going our way at more or less the same time. The final few pages of that match thread are a delirious read. They’ve all been enjoyable in one way or another, but they’re the ones that immediately stand out in my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how many of those clubs are still going in one form or another: SHA - sadly Burton Wanderers (Burton Albion through several mergers) Sheffield Wednesday Walsall Town Notts County Stoke Derby County South Shore (merged with Blackpool) Shankhouse FC (!) London Casuals (merged with Corinthian Casuals) Not sure about these Aston Unity bods though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
