Not so sure.

If we continue your pattern the next one will be a big red cross against Stoke. Can you put a couple more green ticks please?

Just a shame we had to play Leeds in the middle of it.
Otherwise it would be a club record

It’ll start again from now, meaning we’ll lose the fifth game in the run against Burnley

Reminds me of the top flight years when we always needed something like 8 wins from the last 9 games to stay up, after being shit all season.

You've got to fancy against Burnley if we keep this form up.

I’d snap your hand off for a 0-0, Man City will be the next team to score against them!

Didn’t we go on a run in the promotion year of 1967. Seem to remember losing to Huddersfield at home with Harold Wilson taking a bow.
And the next defeat was in division 1. But my memory could be playing tricks.

I remember when we had to win our last 4 games to stay up, and we did!! Our last game of the season was Everton at home and they'd just won the league. I think they were on the beach for that game, we won 4-2

I remember it well, thankfully Andy Gray was left out of their line up as he was rested ahead of a Scotland match, and we battered them, great atmosphere

You don’t remember it that well, it was 4-1.

Notable for an 11:30 Sunday morning kick-off, I don’t think we’ve had one of those since.

I don’t know the exact details but we absolutely went unbeaten for months when getting promoted

It was something like unbeaten from October to April.

Even that year though we didn't manage 8 wins from 9 games

Not sure the last game we lost but in 1967 we went 25 league games undefeated.
The Huddersfield match was weird as they employed a totally unseen tactic of playing two wingers each side and no other forwards, We lost 3-0

I remember Birmingham as I thought it was our first ever Sunday game. Or maybe it was my first ever Sunday game.

Derby at Home was the first Sunday game, it was a cup match.

What year was that? I remember the Blues game quite clearly, but not the Derby one.

There have been loads of highlights of our 84/85 and a couple of 85/86 matches added to Youtube by MrViewSky over the last few weeks, most of which I've never seen before including my first ever match v Sheff Weds. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already.

Biggest home attendance I've been in , over 40k. That was in 1974.

Nil- Nil but we won reply away which was an excellent result considering Derby were league champions in 72 and 75.

Sunday January the 27th 1974 against Derby score was 0.0 we won the replay 1.0. attendance about 40,000.

I would imagine i did go. My first game was 1972 , but I don't remember anything until the infamous Bristol City game in 1977.

I'm sure I haven't made this up, but does anyone else remember Peter Barnes scoring directly from a corner? It was at the West End.
