8 games in

[Eric the Half a Bee]

We're one of only 3 sides in the Championship who have scored in every game and, surprisingly, only 6 sides have kept more clean sheets than us.

Re: 8 games in

In March 1978 We went on a 3 game unbeaten run

What was the cost of the number 17 from Wood Street to Ely at this time ?

I was a month old. I didn't start collecting stats like that until at least April.

Re: 8 games in

Of them 8 games only one game we had more possession and that was against the bottom of the league. The successful teams have more possession.

I doubt if we went on a 3 game unbeaten run, we were shite in '78

We went on a good run (for us) around that time
Ricihie Morgan was manager and we finished 9th?

I remember going to Sunderland last away game of the season and Winning
The packed Roker park wasn’t a good place to be then

Not always correct. City got promotion from Championship as runners up in 2018 with only 45% possession, the 21st best in the league. It is what you do with the possession you get that is key.

Your memory is better than mine then. I seemed to recall that we struggled once the 75/76 team got promoted from the old Division 3. Obviously we had a decent season or two back then

Re: 8 games in

Very impressive when we couldn't pay fees, have a new Manager to this league, had a terrible team that avoided relegation due to two teams having points deducted.

So Bulut had to rebuild, solve the scoring issue, while at the same time try and keep it reasonably tight at the back, which he is now starting to do.

Also don't forget we've already played away Leicester and Ipswich (1st and 2nd) and gave both a scare, drew with Leeds, and beat Sunderland (5th and 6th) so thats four of the top six away games already out of the way.

We also beat our bogey team in the derby at home for the first time in ten years, had a good win against Coventry, and are still in the cup while playing our reserves and with two of our best attacking players (Bowler and O'Dowda out injured)
