Dave Jones Era Quiz

[SunderlandBluebird]

1. Against which team did Jones enjoy a 100% win record against as our manager?

Chasetown, Hereford

League wise I seem to remember us doing well against Nottingham Forest under him but that’s a bit of a guess based on an away win or two.

3. Which team did we play most often in all competitions?

Leicester?

5. Against which 3 teams did we score 6?

Can see Bristol and Derby have been answered. I think the third was Crewe at home on a warm day, the Koumas show if memory is right

6. We managed 7 3-3 away draws during those 6 seasons. How many 3-3 draws did we see at home?

None stick in my memory so will go with 0

7. What was the most common score of a match under Dave Jones (ie 8-7 win)?

2-1?

9. Against which 2 teams did we score most goals?

Bristol City, Derby

10. Against which 2 teams did we concede most goals?

1. I should have posted league games only, but it wasn't Forest. They did the double over us in 2010/11, we didn't get near them on both occasions. Jones claimed that he wanted us to finish 4th to give us a better draw in the playoffs (ie avoiding Forest).

3. Yes, it was Leicester. We played them 14 times in 6 seasons. Leicester were in League 1 for one of those seasons. 10 league games, 2 playoff semi final legs, 1 FA cup, 1 League cup. The season we played them in the playoffs we also played them in the FA cup. They must have been fed up of coming to Cardiff!

5. Yes, Crewe was the other answer.

6. Yes. One of those oddities, I guess. Seven 3 all draws away, yet none at home. In fact, all the games under Jones where both sides scored at least 3 were away from home. There was a 4-3 win at Sheffield Utd and that 4-4 draw at London Road.

7. No.

9. Derby is right. We scored 21 against them. We only scored 17 against Bristol City. Due to promotions and relegations, we only faced both in 5 of Jones' 6 seasons. The other side we scored 21 against also spent 1 season outside the Championship. Of teams we faced in each of Jones' seasons, we scored most against Preston.

10. Ipswich is right. They put 20 past us. Reading managed 19, 10 of those in one season....
