City's Worst Start? (1 Viewer)

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

What a dreadful start it's been, we've only hit the back of the net twice in the league so far, we're yet to win our game, our defence is as leaky as my bathroom tap and recruit has been poor. Some are calling this our worst start to a league season and i have to say, it's certainly up there. But is it THE worst? For this week's Cooks Question, i want to know if this is the worst start to a season you've seen since supporting the sky blues and if not, which season beats it and why? Drop us a reply and we'll read out your answer on Thursday's edition of Sports Lounge, live on 98.6 Hillz FM from 10am. PUSB!

Are you asking a factual question? Better ask Jim Brown. In the Sixfields season, we may not have got past zero points by this point due to our deduction, but the obvious caveat is that we'd actually won a few games and our points todal / league position was artificially skewed by the -10. penalty.

Not even our worst start in League One is it? Only had 3 points after 8 games in 2012-13 before Robins came in.

I don't think it's going to be much better. We need to scrape through until January, and then the manager needs to put his transfer window bloopers right.

Always look on the bright side, we usually start well and die off after Christmas, maybe it will be different this year?

It's more opinion rather than fact. Different people have different views. Points and wins aren't the only way to judge a season

Indeed.......the combined efforts of Thorns world beating summer recruits & Dickie Shaws caretaker manager genius will unfortunately live long in the memory......painful even now.

This is obviously slightly potty, but the first day defeat against Middlesbrough in the season we went down from the top flight. It was obvious from day one that the squad was nowhere near good enough to survive. I remember having a feeling of foreboding, one that I had never had before.

It might be for now , but its going to get a lot worse , So don't call the Guinness book of records just yet !

For me it was the 1-3 home defeat against Everton in January 2001 that left me with little doubt that it would be a relegation season. Like you it was a strange feeling of foreboding or the loss of something that has great sentimental value.
It's a bit early to be that negative at this early part of the season because it could turn around with a couple of good results :joyful:.

 

[Monners]

Yep , similar performance by a team out of their depth against a poor Everton team.

Err, surely if you are asking about "our worst start" then that's by definition a factual question, as "worst" in football terms is measurable in terms of wins, goals, points etc.

Im not looking for the statistically our worst start, im looking for decision making, performances, transfers and tactics, along with wins and points
