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

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?

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

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.😂

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
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.

At least one of Leicester, Birmingham and Chelsea games in 85/86 were morning kos I’m sure.

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.

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.

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

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

Can I just add I was at both games. 😎😎

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.

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.
