Last 39 games in all competitions (since we beat Bristol City 2-0):
22 defeats. That's not our worst run ever, but we've only had a worse number of defeats than that over a 39 game spell 9 times in our history. We lost 22 in 39 games under McCarthy and Morison.
73 goals conceded. That's close to 2 a game. Shocking. It's our worst defensive run since the end of the 1960s, not including the two seasons spent in the Premier League.
36 goals scored. Less than 1 a game. Our worst came in 1988/89-89/90 with 29 goals scored in 39 games and only 8 times have we scored fewer than 36 goals in 39 games.
After a positive start to last season, and the potential shown by some of our younger players in particular, are these figures (which are close to a full season) really those of a side looking to progress?
